The silicone lamps resemble human buttocks and come with a pressure sensor that enables the lamp to turn on when slapped or pinched. A soft and gentle light  is emitted when the light turns on, and are availble in eight colors, including: white, red, blue, cyan, magenta, green, yellow, and orange. The designer has not revealed  the type of lights used in these humorous lamps.

Begley's Description: "A sense of lasting enjoyment is promoted through the unique tactile pleasure, the irresistible cheeky interaction and the aesthetic quality of the glowing buttocks!
A multi-sensory experience to make you smile.

As a designer I aim to push and to test the boundaries of interaction, between objects and their users; I like to communicate playfulness and humour within my work."
