Mathmos Eclipse Lights

When we heard about an amazing new mood light called the Eclipse we were initially a bit blasé about it. Because the last time we witnessed a real eclipse we were so spectacularly underwhelmed we threw out our industrial-strength sunglasses and pieces of white card in some corn field in Iowa and vowed never to waste time on the stupid things again.
But that was before we had witnessed the truly mesmerizing Mathmos Eclipse in action. This hypnotically beautiful blown glass globe is one of the most unusual pieces of ambient lighting we've ever seen, and it's the ideal way to add a seductive, ever-changing glow to your home.
Basically the chameleon-like Mathmos Eclipse works in a similar way to a lighthouse lens because its light effect engages the eye by coming in and out of view as you move around the lamp. But unlike a lighthouse the Eclipse gently cycles through a kaleidoscope of glorious colors. How? Well, various hidden LEDs are reflected into the focal point of the silvered sphere to create an utterly spellbinding effect that's unlike anything you've ever seen. It's a bit like staring into an electric psychedelic fish bowl. We imagine.
The Eclipse is available in two different versions, the Solar and the Lunar. The former gently phases through the warm colors of the sunset while the latter cycles through the darker colors of a lunar sky. Both variants really do make the aforementioned eclipse seem about as engaging as a blown lightbulb and they're guaranteed to captivate all who encounter their space-age glow.
To add to the hi-tech feel there are no switches or buttons on the Eclipse; you simply press down on the globe to turn it on and off - an action you'll be carrying out on a regular basis, because once you see this hypnotic sphere in all its glowing glory you'll be Eclipsing-it every single night.
