Cube lamp – a faceted block of light that colors the wall behind it

The cube is cut so the light inside breaks up and scatters instead of glowing flat, which is where the northern-lights comparison comes from. It sits on a wooden base, runs off USB and draws 3W. Sixteen colors are on the remote, so you can change the room without leaving the couch.

Why choose this cube lamp?

A desk lamp lights a task; this lights the mood of the corner it stands in. The faceting does the work, throwing color onto the wall and ceiling rather than into your eyes.

Cut acrylic body: the facets split the light so the surface never reads as one flat panel.
Sixteen shades on hand: run through the full range or park it on one color and leave it.
Remote in the box: no reaching behind furniture to switch color or turn it off.
Wood underneath: a solid timber base grounds the color and keeps the cube from sliding.
Two footprints: 11.5 cm for a nightstand, 13 cm when it has a whole shelf to itself.

A quiet piece by day and the only light you need by night.

Place it where a wall or ceiling is close enough to catch the color: a nightstand corner, a shelf behind a sofa, the end of a desk. The USB cable is included, so any phone adapter or laptop port will run it. At 3W it can stay on all evening without heating up.
