Seems like everyone wants to capitalize on touch technology--case in point: the 'As Much As You Need Light' light. Although it's not a very creative name to say the least, this lamp does have something else going for it--a [touch-sensitive dimmer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloomlight-s-lamp).

This lamp essentially provides as much light as you need at the moment. Designed by Hong-kue Lee, it [reaches over desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delite-20), providing even lighting in a [sleek, compact form](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-table-light). Check out the images above to see how the 'As Much As You Need' light works.
