The 'LIGHTEST' lamp unit features a design aesthetic that deviates from the norm with a stylistic attention to being tech-infused and inherently customizable. The 'LIGHTEST' is capable of operating thanks to the [magnetic base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spot-on-charger) that controls the intensity of the floating design. The [detachable lampshade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moodi) on the light portion is detachable and is 3D-printed, which enables virtually any design desired to be incorporated into the unit.

The 'LIGHTEST' lamp unit is currently being funded on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nekospace-orchard) and, while great for the lighting effects, is capable of being used as a platform for floating a variety of different items. This could include trophies, small keepsakes and much more to add a levitating design element with ease. The 'LIGHTEST' base is outfitted with a built-in battery pack that allows it to be brought anywhere and operate for up to six hours.
