Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Table lamp design that combines the functions of "eye protection lighting" and "ambient lighting" in one.2 in 1 table lamp can be operated by the user to achieve the "eye protection lighting" mode and "ambient lighting" mode to switch between each other.

When the day's work and study is over, let us "close" the lid, the light source through the diffuse lampshade, emitting ambient light, so that we can enjoy a beautiful atmosphere of relaxation.
