“Lumen Tree is an acid-etched, stainless steel, oil lamp shadow projector.  When lit, it throws a soft shadow on the wall. The farther Lumen is from the wall, the larger the shadow. As the flame flickers the shadow moves about organically.  Comes with four 17-hour, odorless, clean burning paraffin fuel cells. Additional fuel cells sold separately.” - Gener8
