The Darth Maul Lightsaber Room Light Fights Darkness and Monsters

— February 15, 2012 — Art & Design
Traditional nightlights may ward off the darkness, but sometimes children need a little more assurance that they will also defend them against lurking monsters; the Darth Maul Lightsaber Room Light provides that assurance. It takes on the form of the classic 'Star Wars' weapon. Children will sleep better at night knowing that if any creatures do creep into their room uninvited, they will have something with which to fight them off.

Available online at Barnes and Nobel, the Darth Maul Lightsaber Room Light simply mounts on the wall to work and comes with an educational guide. It emits a soft red glow that is reminiscent of the Lord Sith's apprentice's actual lightsaber. It is yet another 'Star Wars' product that celebrates the re-release of The Phantom Menace in 3D.
Trend Themes
1. Nightlight Innovation - The Darth Maul Lightsaber Room Light offers a unique twist on traditional nightlights, providing children with a sense of empowerment and protection.
2. Character-based Merchandising - The popularity of 'Star Wars' characters and merchandise continues to inspire creative product adaptations like the Darth Maul Lightsaber Room Light.
3. Educational Lighting - The inclusion of an educational guide with the Darth Maul Lightsaber Room Light taps into the growing trend of combining entertainment and learning in children's products.
Industry Implications
1. Children's Lighting - The Darth Maul Lightsaber Room Light is an example of how lighting products can be designed specifically for children, incorporating fun characters and themes.
2. Entertainment Merchandise - The success of character-driven merchandise, such as the Darth Maul Lightsaber Room Light, reveals the lucrative potential of partnerships between entertainment franchises and product manufacturers.
3. Children's Education - The educational guide included with the Darth Maul Lightsaber Room Light demonstrates how the lighting industry can contribute to children's learning and development.
