Gadget Lovers: This will light up your home
Having recently just moved into my new flat I was in need of some bedside lamps. Browsing on the internet I came across a wonderful assortment of lamps from the big and bold to the small and subtle, but this one in particular caught my eye...
Fun and easy to operate, the Mathmos Air Switch Lamp is a sure winner among kids (big kids included!) The lamp uses a sensor to determine where your hand is in relation to it and adjusts the light accordingly; move your hand vertically towards the light and it will dim, away and it will brighten, horizontally across the sensor and it will turn on and off; ideal for kid’s dexterity. Not only is this lamp simple to operate but it also casts a great subtle light which even makes me look good! It can be dimmed to the flicker of a candle and comes in a full range of colours and sizes.
A few disadvantages are that one of the small lamps on their own is definitely not bright enough to read by even on the highest setting and the Mathmos logo is printed on the front of the lamp which in my opinion tends to cheapen the look. It is also possible to knock over the lamps in darkness when trying to turn it on, although mine is still standing!
Overall the pros outweigh the cons and I would give this product a highly recommended 8/10.
