Bat Lamp – sculpted resin accent light with crimson wings and warm glow

Bat Lamp – a gothic accent piece that glows over a haunted house base

A resin bat with spread wings, perched on a small sculpted house. The wings are tinted crimson, so the warm light behind them comes through red at the edges and warm white below. It plugs in over USB and takes up about as much space as a paperback.

Why choose this bat lamp?

It is decor first and a light source second. The detail is in the casting: ribbed wings, shingles on the roof, a base that holds the whole thing steady. Out for Halloween or left up year round, it suits a dark shelf better than a bright one.

• Sculpted resin: cast detail in the wings, body and miniature house base.
• Crimson wing panels: light passes through the wings and warms the wall behind it.
• USB powered: runs from any USB adapter or powered hub, with no batteries to swap.
• Compact base: a 10 cm footprint that fits a bookshelf, mantel or desk corner.
• Seasonal or permanent: a Halloween centerpiece that also works as a standing gothic accent.

Low light suits it, so place it where the surroundings are already dim.

On a mantel it throws enough glow to outline the wall behind it. On a desk it sits beside a monitor without crowding the space. Keep the cable run in mind when choosing the spot, since power comes over USB rather than from a battery.
