# Electromagnetic Halo Lights GEO Magnetic Ditches Digital Switches in Favor of Science By Matt Ho | Published 2011-06-25 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geo-magnetic References: [core77](http://www.core77.com/blog/lighting/using_electromagnetism_to_transform_from_desktop_illumination_to_romantic_mood_19708.asp) & [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/06/24/romantic-magnetism-in-light/) The GEO Magnetic is probably one of the first lights I've seen that really uses science for a design concept. Korean designer Hyungwoo Uhm created the stylish GEO Magnetic, which uses electromagnetism to adjust the head of the lamp. Instead of twisting and turning to get the proper illumination, you're actually sliding up and down to achieve your desired effect. This concept primarily has two main functions. When it's in the upward position, it's a regular lamp like any other. As you slide it down to the base, its purpose is to provide a romantic ambient setting with loved ones. I love the whole concept behind the GEO Magnetic lights because it really sets itself apart from other lamps on the market. The halo look is an absolute plus to this truly original design. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Science](https://www.trendhunter.com/science) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Electromagnetic Lights:** Using electromagnetism in lighting design creates opportunities for innovative and adjustable illumination. - **Sliding Lamp Design:** Sliding lamps offer a unique and interactive lighting experience, allowing users to customize their ambiance. - **Halo Lighting:** Implementing a halo look in lighting design adds a visually striking and aesthetic element to the product. ### Where This Applies - **Lighting Design:** The lighting design industry can explore the use of electromagnetism and sliding mechanisms to create innovative and customizable lighting solutions. - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can incorporate halo lighting as a distinctive feature to enhance the ambiance and aesthetics of spaces. - **Product Design:** Product designers can experiment with sliding lamp designs that offer a new level of user interaction and personalization. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Customizable Magnetic Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-magnetic-lamp.md) - [Artistic Magnetic Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scacco-matto-lamp.md) - [Interactive Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tangent-lamp.md) - [Floating Magnetic Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-mnuca-floating-lamp.md) - [Childhood-Inspired Magnetic Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbe.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Dynamic Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacetime-transformation-lamp.md) - [Magnetic Charging Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spot-on-charger.md) - [3D-Printed Mood Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbyt.md) - [Levitating Dynamic Ring Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levitos.md)
