Jolly Lamp

We present you: Jolly lamp, The Lamp for All! Designed in a way that you can adjust the position of the light source along it's cylinder, marked to indicate the three optimal positions to use electric devices, writing and reading. The Jolly lamp behaves as the Jolly Jocker from card games, allowing its functionality to depend on its user’s needs and preferences. By painting the inside of the lampshade white, you can guarantee a neutral light, based on the lightbulb you have chosen. This means that you can easily customise which color the lampshade is, so that the light reflects that color and allows you to work in your preferred environment. Furthermore, this function helps people with dislexia, that find a colored and diffused light more helpful during studying and reading. The assembly and use of the lamp is very simple, since it uses the shape of the hole of the arm and the weight of the lampshade to set the whole structure along the cylinder. This way, the user can change easily the height of the structure by simply slightly tilting the arm and sliding it down the cylinder. Then, the weight of the lampshade does the rest, setting the arm horizontally and securing it in place. The lamp measures 45,5 cm in height, 26 cm of width at the base and the arm structures reaches 37,6 cm in lenght. The cylinder measures 3,5 cm in diameter, like the holes of the base and the moving arm. Jolly uses E-14 lightbulbs and we suggest choosing a neutral temperature light, around 6500 K.
