Description
This Hedwig infinity light shapes Harry Potter's snowy owl into a glowing figure with surprising depth. Switched on, rows of light seem to run back deep inside the owl's face and body, so the piece looks far deeper than it really is, rather like peering down a lit tunnel. A dark outline traces the rounded head and the two wings at its sides. The round eyes, the small beak and the speckled markings on the chest stand out against the glow, so the owl is recognisable at a glance from across the room. At 45cm, it has real presence without crowding a shelf or mantelpiece.
It stands on its own flat base, so it needs no wall, hook or fixing. Set it on a shelf, a sideboard, a desk or a bedside table and it holds its place. The effect comes into its own as the evening draws in, when the tunnel of light inside the owl looks at its deepest. It gives a darkened bedroom, a reading corner or a living room set up for a film night a soft, characterful focal point. Because Hedwig is a much-loved character rather than a seasonal motif, it can stay on display all year round.
It runs at low voltage through a mains transformer that plugs into a wall socket, so stand it near one and tuck the lead neatly behind furniture. As with any plug-in light, keep the transformer indoors, dry and out of the way of feet. To keep the owl looking its best, switch it off at the socket and dust the face and outline now and then with a soft dry cloth. We like it with the main lights dimmed and a little clear space around it, so the outline reads cleanly, and it makes a thoughtful present that is as much a light as a piece to look at.
