Best for mood lighting
This 5.9-inch lamp was created with NASA's satellite images of the moon, so you know you're getting something beautiful and realistic-looking. What we particularly like about this lamp is how customizable it is: It has five levels of brightness and can display 16 different colors. Even better, it comes with a remote control, making it easy to switch between the available settings.
This Moon Lamp is powered by USB, and once it's charged it can provide up to 15 hours of light. It makes it easy to move between rooms and you don't have to worry about leaving it plugged in overnight. The soft glow can serve as an accent or mood light and it looks wonderful in any room.
Ideal for the office
Made of crystal, this 3.15-inch galaxy lamp is sure to spark interest in any room. It sits atop an LED-lighted base and alternates through a range of colors. To turn the light on and off, simply tighten or loosen the bulb in the base.
Powered by USB, there's no remote control here to control the light from a distance. The upside? You don't have to worry about not losing it. While the Zulux Galaxy Crystal Ball doesn't let off the brightest amount of light, it is absolutely beautiful-looking, and we think it's a perfect addition to any desk or office.
Best space travel lamp
If you love space shuttles, this USB-powered depiction is sure to delight. It looks like a hologram because the light hits all of the edges of the design. At 9.96-inches tall, you could use this 3-watt lamp as more than a night light to accent any room.
The Rocket Night Light can display seven different colors, changeable via a button on the base. There's also a dynamic flashing mode which will cycle through multiple colors, creating a beautiful ambience in whichever room you place the lamp in.
Best desk lamp
Not only is this astronaut-themed light a desk lamp, but it also has a built-in projector, which can project images of the night sky on your walls and ceiling. The neck of the lamp can be adjusted to many angles, and at the base you'll find an attractive astronaut model.
There's also a pen pot, perfect for keeping your desk organized. Since the lamp is USB rechargeable with a built-in battery, you don't need to worry about this taking up a wall plug, and it's easy to move around if you want to use it in a different room.
