This lighting equipment installs a disk in the upper pipe-formed body and floats it. And light is strengthened when we turn the disk to the right, and light weakens when we turn it to the left.

I named “UFO LAMP” to have the characteristic that this said that a disk loosened. The most important element of UFO LAMP is “repulsion.” Repulsion is the force that the magnet repels.

Some lighting equipments using the magnet exist in the world, but “the lighting equipment having a light control function using repulsion” does not exist any place other than this UFO LAMP.

UFO LAMP is available as a desk light and indirect lighting. In addition, because UFO LAMP can light adjust from any 360-degree position, we put it in the center of the table and can use it as a table light.

Because UFO LAMP is simple structure, the development of the design such as a shape, the material is anything.Because it is available if the material does not react to a magnet, we can use a tree and a stone, various material including the cloth. A disk floats and a pipe begins to shine when we turn the disk which there is not of other than the own hand thing touching.This lighting equipment provides a mysterious experience.
