Crystal Water Ripple Table Lamp | 16 Colours, Remote Control, Rechargeable

A small crystal-topped lamp that throws a moving water-ripple pattern across the ceiling and walls. The faceted dome refracts the light into a slow, shifting caustic — the same effect you get from sunlight on the bottom of a swimming pool — so it reads as a light installation rather than a lamp.

It works in the two places a table lamp usually fails. On a bedside table it is dim enough at the lowest setting to fall asleep to, and the moving pattern gives children something to watch instead of a flat glow. On a shelf in a living room it does the job of a candle in the evenings without an open flame.

Key details

• 16 colours plus a warm white, cycled or held on one shade
• Remote control for colour, brightness and timer from across the room
• Rechargeable battery, charged over USB — no cable trailing to a socket in use
• Walnut-effect base with a touch button on top and a switch on the side
• Compact enough for a bedside table, shelf or windowsill

Power

Runs from an internal rechargeable battery at 5V, charged with any USB charger or power bank. There is no mains plug to worry about — it uses the same charger as a phone.

Care

Wipe the crystal dome with a dry microfibre cloth; fingerprints show on the facets and dull the pattern. Do not immerse in water. Charge it fully before storing it for a long period.
