Koyoo is a small, portable light fixture. Supported only by a wire spring, a luminous circle floats above a narrow black base. The LED light source is integrated into the base and perfectly illuminates the circle. When used on a table, the illuminated paper lampshade is positioned below eye level, creating a very pleasant and relaxing light for enjoyable moments. It features three different 17.5 cm paper lampshades. Three brightness levels can be adjusted at the touch of a button. With a fully charged battery, cordless operation is possible for 5, 10, or 36 hours, depending on the brightness level.
