A NASA rocket-themed lava lamp: like jumping off your roof with a fitted mattress sheet for a parachute convinced you’ll be able to walk away unscathed, it just makes sense. Available from Firebox, the out-of-this-world lamp costs $49 and contains blue liquid and red lava. Gosh, I just want to break it open and play with the lava so bad.
The rocket stands 20″ tall and will make the perfect mood-lighting addition to my outer space-themed rumpus room. I mean, once I finally gain spousal approval to turn the guest bedroom into an outer space-themed rumpus room, but my permits keep getting denied.
Rocket fuel costs must be astronomical, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration must be desperate for all the funding it can get because NASA has been licensing its logo to just about anyone with a few space-bucks to spend. I mean I even saw NASA shirts for sale at a gas station the other day. Although, now that I think about it, those were probably unlicensed because it was spelled NASSA and I’m pretty sure that was Star Trek’s United Federation of Planets logo.
The DeskSpace, as beautiful as it is, had one crucial element missing. Made from polished precious minerals, the DeskSpace displayed the entire solar system on your desk, arranged in linear order, comprising every planet made from the appropriately selected gemstone. However, the biggest piece to that cosmic family photo wasn’t factored in until now. Carved out of a single piece of premium golden calcite is the very heart of our solar system, the sun. Designed to work as a mood lamp, the sun comes with its own appropriate lighting too, which shimmers through the calcite crystal, feeling just as if you’ve got the solar star on your desktop!
Available in three different sizes, the DeskSpace’s sun replica comes with an anodized aluminum base that hosts a dimmable light inside. The golden calcite does a remarkable job of scattering and diffusing the light to mimic the sun’s mysterious, calming glow. The rare calcite is sustainably mined in Mexico. Each gemstone is washed before being cut into precise cubes by diamond saws. These cubes are then hand-shaped into spheres by expert craftsmen who achieve the stunning spherical form through decades of practice, before being meticulously buffed and polished to an immaculate finish.
The Solar Sun Mood Lamp extends Deskspace’s philosophy of paying tribute to our solar system. Just like the planetary series, the Sun comes in its own case, along with an informational booklet about the product, the material, the process, and with facts about the sun. Made to work as a desk accessory, the Sun goes perfectly well with the solar system collection (It’s appropriately bigger in size too), but also works wonderfully as a mood lamp (some would say, its original purpose), going from emitting a powerful, mystical halo of light, to a subtle, calming glow.
The DeskSpace Solar Sun Mood Lamp is handcrafted crafted from Golden Calcite gemstone, that is prized for its mesmerizing texture and clarity. It allows the light to spread within the sphere and to radiate into the room. You can now bring the sun into your home and capture a small part of that power.
Without overpowering the senses, this light is visually striking and will create a gentle glow in any room.
Great as a subtle night light for the bedside table or to capture the beauty of your desk accessories, it emits a room-enhancing glow, that gives a sense of relaxation and peace.
DeskX worked tirelessly to source the exact material that would showcase the unique way that the sun emits light. The material needed to be able to both encase the light and emit it gently and evenly. Their worldwide search resulted in Golden Calcite – a unique crystalline structure with a translucent appearance that has a softness and warmth that they could not find in any other material.
The base uses aerospace grade aluminum that has been anodized to a Deep Space Grey.
The highly mirrored finish of the logo perfectly sets the tone for this piece and the added technology of a bespoke magnetic charging cable (also anodized to match the base) gives you the discretion you need.
The Sun Mood Lamp is available in three different sizes and each can have the LED lighting adjusted to fit your mood. The illumination can range from a soft mood light to a brighter focal point – but always the Golden Calcite ensures the light is diffused and softened.
Small 4cm +/- 0.5cm
Medium 6cm +/- 0.5cm
Large 8cm +/- 0.5cm
Bundled with the Sun Mood Lamp is a high quality, heavyweight book full of interesting and intriguing facts about the Sun.

News about Fallout 76 is everywhere right now. So I have the wasteland on my mind and my mind on the wasteland. That means it is a good time to buy some Fallout merch, and I have a thirst for a yummy bottle of Nuka Cola. Specifically, this neat Nuka-Cola Quantum mood light. Bonus: I didn’t have to find it in some dirty old locker in the desert.
Nuka Cola is known for it’s combination of seventeen different fruit flavors, and now the Nuka-Cola Company has added an eighteenth fruit flavor (pomegranate) and mildly radioactive strontium isotope which gives it that bright blue glow. Refreshing! Though instead of being powered by radioactivity, the light-up version runs on three LR44 button cell batteries which are included, or via USB with the included cable.
You can pre-order this lamp for yourself over at ThinkGeek for just $29.99, and it’s expected to ship in November timed to coincide with the release of Fallout 76. Whether you are with the Brotherhood, a super mutant, or just a traveler of the wasteland, we all love Nuka Cola. So get yours while you can.
Light fixtures are one the things designers can test their creativity on to no end, as there are extremely numerous ways to design, power and even connect them. With so many options, it might be difficult to stay original, but the Kangaroo Light definitely manages that.
Kangaroo Light started as a Kickstarter project back in May/June 2014. Studio Banana Things, the London-based company that created it, managed to exceed the funding goal by a tiny bit, and promised its backers that it would start shipping Kangaroo Light in October 2014. A bit over a year has passed since then, and the fun, yet functional crowdfunded lamp is now commercially available. Typically sold for $119, Kangaroo Lamp is available in our store, Walyou Deals, at a discounted price for the next two days.
Kangaroo Light excels in portability, flexibility, and innovation. It can be used in bedrooms or living-rooms to provide a touch of light, or you can take it with you basically anywhere. Place it at the bottom of your backpack to quickly find the items you’re looking for.
It has a high-quality silicone exterior, so it’ll be very difficult to get it dirty. With that out of your mind, you can proceed to using it anywhere: as a private reading light, ambient lighting, portable camping light, personal torch, place mat, night light, or even bathroom light. As Studio Banana Things put it, your imagination is the limit. It really doesn’t matter if you bend it or keep it flat, as the Kangaroo Light can take it.
There’s a long-lasting built-in battery, so you don’t have to worry all the time about charging the lamp. More precisely, the included Li-Ion battery can provide up to 2.5 hours of non-stop light, and can be easily recharged via USB, so it might be a good idea to carry a power bank with you. That means that you can move between the different settings in which the Kangaroo Light can be used without frantically having look for power outlets.
One of the most important aspects about this smart light fixtures is that it connects via Bluetooth to Android and iOS devices. Once it’s connected, users can easily turn it into an interactive light fixture. The brightness of this smart lamp can be easily adjusted from any mobile device, be it smartphone or tablet. More than that, Kangaroo Light includes an accelerometer and touch electrodes that enable various types of interactions and incredible illumination modes. It can turn on, turn off, random flicker, change intensity, pulse, etc.
