Lamps help provide contrast to stark overhead lighting and are great for desks, nightstands, or bookshelves. If you’re an astronomy enthusiast, then show off your interest by selecting a space lamp for this task. They add more light, but also personality, to any spot. Here’s a list of our favorites.
Mind-glowing 3D Moon Lamp
Subtle glow accents any room
This 5.9-inch lamp was created with NASA's satellite images of the moon. It has five levels of brightness and can display 16 different colors, You can charge the lamp via USB and it will provide up to 15 hours of light. The soft glow can serve as an accent or mood light.
Zulux Galaxy Crystal Ball
Sharp depiction of a galaxy
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, meaning there’s no remote to keep track of.
Paladone Floating in Space Astronaut Desk Lamp
Playful representation of an astronaut
This astronaut is safe in your care since they are connected to the moon-inspired lamp base. The whole lamp is nearly 6.3-inches tall and you can reposition the astronaut however you like. Power up this light source with USB, or three AAA batteries (not included).
YKL World Rocket Night Light Lamp
Engineering marvel looks like a hologram
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. It can also display seven different colors, which can be set via the touch button.
Lighted spaces
Adding an element of space to your home or office lets you go beyond basic bulb lamps. While all of these options are great, our favorite is the Mind-glowing 3D Moon Lamp. This glowing moon offers soothing light for any room, and has multiple lighting modes and colors, all operated via remote. The stand is also wooden and connects with magnets at the joints.
Sometimes your space calls for a bit more personality. If that's the case, consider the Paladone Floating in Space Astronaut Desk Lamp. Like an astronaut performing a mission outside the space shuttle, this one is tethered to the lamp base. It’s great as a conversation piece, or even in a child's room to inspire them.
