Set the mood with the X-Ray Lightbox by Mentalpieces. Hang this [light on your wall](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/impulse-wall-light) and you will get a subtle glow that comes out through an actual X-Ray image of a hand showing a well-known symbol for peace.

What could come off as a spooky skeletal hand is made less intimidating by the peaceful sign, making this lamp more Rock n' Roll than Death Metal. With only 100 models made, the [limited-edition lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightbox-power-strip) are all numbered and signed by the artist, and feature a plaque on the front with the Mentalpieces' logo branded into it. Each light also comes with a sealed artist certificate of authenticity.

The X-Ray Lightbox by Mentalpieces can last up to 10,000 hours, making it a great [nightlight](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-player) for those who want to make peace with the ghosts.
