It is a [portable lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vl-45-radiohus-portable-lamp) that is slightly similar to the look of frill work lights that are found in those environments. It is framed by aluminum rods that create the cage and it is [flat-packed for efficiency](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allen-key-lamp). Additionally, this can also function as a carrying handle as the cage has linear designs to [cast shadows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foreshadow-table-lamp) on the surrounding settings when the lamp is illuminated. The options of the Shop Light include "green, terra-cotta, charcoal, anodized aluminum, and anodized black." `The minimal design allows it to suit any space, perfect for inside the house or even in the garage, adding a bright modern touch.
