(It's pretty easy to think of an example of a set of pieces where one doesn't, but the property is satisfied).
The fact that an arrangement does exist in the two lamp case is neat though.

Oh certainly. I thought I'd explained my thought process but what I meant was that "Since the same number of colors exists then a arrangement may exist" and given that it may a brute-force type approach was taken to confirm that one indeed does
