Not brightGabiThe way this lamp isn’t bright at all is such a bummer. It looks cool, but I almost don’t feel like it’s worth it to take it down from my wall shelf and unscrew the battery compartment to swap out batteries (since it didn’t last long) just for an unnoticeable amount of light.2
ReviewOmohHard to open up the battery section, returned twice and still got a defective item with the same issue.1
Don’t forget AA rechargeable batteries!!MarkI purchased in-store, and didn’t see the small “excl. 3x nimh 1.2v 2450 mah hr6/aa” note on the box until I was home and couldn’t figure out why the light would only work while being “charged.” This light does NOT come with batteries and if you just grab it off the shelf, it’s VERY hard to tell the batteries need to be purchased separately. It needs three AA rechargeable batteries. Seeing this listing online I can more easily see the note about needing batteries, but on the shelf it’s SUPER easy to miss. But the light does work while being plugged in (USBC cord not included) and I can confirm the light does work with normal AA batteries (but I would worry about doing that and accidentally trying to “charge” normal batteries. Seems sketchy.)
But the light has a great design-look and a soft, warm glow. (I didn’t expect strong light output, and it doesn’t have strong light output.) It’s a perfect, soft decorative light, not a task light, with a cool style. 5

Dim BeautyMadehaI love the design. Unfortunately, it does not work unless plugged in. It is also a very dim light. Love the concept, I would prefer one that works. :(2
Cool desk lamp / Pokémon vibesParishDoesn’t this look like a Poké Ball from Pokémon? Anywho, I’ve only had this lamp for a few days, and it’s a new addition to my desk. The lamp is rechargeable and comes with two settings. Both settings give off a soft brown light, making it ideal for light reading and similar tasks.
In the comments, previous reviewers mentioned an issue with the screws, and I experienced this as well. A regular screwdriver won’t work—I suggest using a smaller screwdriver meant for tiny screws, or, if you’re like me and have a handheld electric screwdriver with different tips, use that instead.
Overall, I think it’s priced appropriately and is a nice lamp with a magnetic base. I highly recommend it.4
Incorrect InformationTristanThis is such a beautiful lamp. It’s not very bright but it’s okay. The website states that it uses 3 AAA batteries but that’s not true. It should have been 3 AA batteries. Also the screws that hold the battery cap is very hard to remove without stripping.4
Uses 3 AA batteries / listing states 2 AAADavidWarning - Uses 3 AA batteries / listing states 2 AAA1
beautiful light, terrible screwsAlexanderwas very excited to receive this lamp but unfortunately the screws that house the batteries are virtually impossible to remove and strip very easily. useless display piece now.1
Looks Good but….GaryLooks good. I like it a lot - but it was very difficult to get the compartment open for the batteries. The screws were very difficult to remove and easily stripped. Also, the “Good to Know” section states the lamp uses 2 -AAA batteries but it actually uses 3-AA. Happy with the purchase but I won’t be completely reinstalling the screws!4
