The wooden base of the LED bulb uses electromagnetics that allows the 60 lumen LED bulb to float and rotate. The multifunctional base also works as a smartphone charger, and the bulb does not require additional charging.

While the LEDs luminous efficacy is only 16 lm/W, the warm white bulb with a color temperature of 2,700-3,000 K is still a stunning design.
