# Levitating Lamp Units The 'LIGHTEST' Lamp and Base Create a Magical Design Aesthetic By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-11-10 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamp-unit References: [geeky-gadgets](http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/lightest-levitating-light-hits-kickstarter-09-11-2016/) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1733675098/lightest-the-levitating-light) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Customizable Design Aesthetics:** The 'LIGHTEST' lamp unit offers a customizable design aesthetic, allowing users to incorporate virtually any design into the detachable lampshade. - **Tech-infused Lighting Solutions:** The 'LIGHTEST' lamp unit deviates from traditional lighting designs by incorporating tech-infused elements, providing an innovative lighting solution. - **Levitating Product Display:** The 'LIGHTEST' lamp unit's magnetic base creates a levitating design element that can be used to display various items, opening up opportunities for unique product showcases. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** The customizable design aesthetic of the 'LIGHTEST' lamp unit can be leveraged by interior designers to create unique lighting solutions for their clients. - **Home Décor:** The tech-infused and customizable design of the 'LIGHTEST' lamp unit presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the home décor industry, allowing for the creation of novel lighting displays. - **Product Retail:** The levitating design element of the 'LIGHTEST' lamp unit can be utilized by product retailers to create attention-grabbing displays that showcase their merchandise in an innovative way. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Customizable Magnetic Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-magnetic-lamp.md) - [Floating Magnetic Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-mnuca-floating-lamp.md) - [3D-Printed Mood Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbyt.md) - [Hat-Like Fabric Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-lamp.md) - [Dynamically Customizable Desk Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illum-desk-light.md) - [Kinetic Insect Sculpture Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dragonfly-balance-light.md) - [Interactive Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tangent-lamp.md) - [Minimalist Mysterious Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auge-light-mini.md) - [Ultra-Flexible Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anywhereuse-lamp.md)
