Mood Light Object: Polaris
by Justin Thomas, Virginia 
on 08.19.05
This lamp or "mood light object" is a bit different than most rechargeable lamps out there. First of all, it's made out of mouth-blown Parnaterra glass, not a plastic resin. It has a satin-finish that diffuses the LED light inside, and it can be used as a vase for flowers if you wish. You can set the lamp to cycle through a spectrum or colors, and then freeze it at the hue you like. It can also be controlled by remote. When the built-in lithium battery is fully charged, it glows continuously for up to 10 hours. They have a lot of other lamp shapes too. Available from YLighting for $110.
