Magnetic Levitation UFO Light - Magnetic LED Lighting Bluetooth's Stereo Charging Floating Levitating Lamp

A lamp that floats in mid-air and slowly turns

The silver pedestal stands on the table like any small lamp. The saucer above it hovers in open air, turning slowly, glowing from underneath, held up by a magnetic field alone. That is why people stop in front of it, and why it is the gift that gets photographed and sent round the group chat before the wrapping paper is off the floor.

"Guests are always like, 'Whoa, is that floating?' Love it." The light it throws and the Bluetooth speaker inside the shade are both built on top of one thing that simply should be impossible to hang there.

The gap is the magic, so look at it properly

An electromagnet inside the platform disc holds the shade at a fixed height and corrects it continuously. You set the shade down near the middle of the platform, let go, and it settles into the air. Open space all the way through: you can see straight past the gap to the wall behind.

It also turns. Slowly, on its own, with nothing touching it — which is usually the detail that convinces the skeptic in the room. "One of those things you buy thinking it's a gimmick, but then you're blown away."

Two lights, one mood

The underside of the floating shade glows in color, and a touch on the base changes it to match the room. That is the mood light, and it is what washes up the wall behind the lamp after dark. Separately, a ring of small white downlights under the rim of the platform drops a soft pool onto the surface below.

Together they give you a warm ambient glow — enough to be the only thing on in a bedroom at night, a calm corner of a desk in the evening, or the piece guests notice first in the living room. "I use it as a night light and it's perfect. Also fun to show off to visitors."

The shade is also your Bluetooth speaker

Lift the saucer off the base and it plays on its own. A 40 mm driver fires up through the grille in its crown, running from a battery inside the shade for around eight hours away from the lamp. Set it back on the platform and it charges wirelessly while it floats, so it is always topped up for the next evening.

Buyers call the sound "clear and crisp" and "surprisingly good for a speaker of this size" — right for a podcast at the desk, a playlist at the bedside, or something low in the background while people are in the kitchen. "It's like having a piece of art that also plays music."

Sized for a bedside, a desk or a shelf

About the height of a wine bottle, so it fits where a statement lamp would crowd the space and still reads as a small sculpture on a wide console.

• 13.4 in tall overall (34 cm) — about the height of a wine bottle
• 7.3 in across the foot (18.5 cm) — roughly a side plate
• The floating shade is 5.4 in wide (13.8 cm) and 1.8 in deep — about the width of a CD

"Adds a little sci-fi flair to my office. Might get another for the bedroom."

Every order is covered by Gear Elevation's 90-day money-back guarantee and 90-day returns, so you can set it floating on the bedside tonight and decide with the lights off.

Floating in a minute

Plug in, lower, let go. The base runs from the mains adapter in the box. Hold the shade over the middle of the platform, lower it until you feel the field take it, and let go. "Took a minute to find the magnetic sweet spot, but once it clicked, it's stayed floating ever since."

Give it a steady home. A bedside table, a shelf or a desk is where it lives best, and from there it floats for months — "the levitation is smooth, and it hasn't fallen once."

What you get

In the box: the lamp — pedestal base and saucer shade — and one mains power adapter in the plug type you choose.

Frequently asked questions

Does it really float?

It really floats. The platform holds the shade in a magnetic field with open air between the two pieces — you can see straight through the gap to whatever is behind the lamp.

How hard is it to set up?

Plug the base in, then lower the shade over the middle of the platform and let go. The first time takes a minute of finding the center by hand. After that it lifts straight away.

How bright is it?

A soft ambient glow: the color light under the shade washes the wall and the white downlights put a pool on the table. Buyers use it as a night light, a bedside glow and an evening desk lamp. "The light is surprisingly bright. I use it as a night light and it's perfect."

Can I use the speaker away from the lamp?

Yes. Lift the shade off and it plays on its own battery for around eight hours, then charges again once you set it back on the platform.

How good is the sound?

Clear and crisp from a 40 mm driver — right for background music, a podcast or a film at low volume in one room. "The sound quality is surprisingly good for a speaker of this size."

Does it have to stay plugged in?

The base does — the levitation and the platform lights run from mains power. The shade carries its own charge and plays anywhere in the house.

Which plug should I choose?

US for the United States and Canada, EU for most of Europe, UK for the United Kingdom and Ireland, AU for Australia and New Zealand. The adapter that ships is the one you select.

What color is it?

A silver base with a charcoal-grey shade. The glow under the shade changes color from the touch control on the platform.

Choose a steady surface: the shade is held by a magnetic field, so a hard knock to the table can set it down, and it lifts straight back up.
