Description
This Halloween light-up decoration is a smoky grey glass tube with a skull drawn in glowing outline inside it. When it is unlit, it reads as a shiny gunmetal cylinder with only a faint trace of the skull showing through. Once lit, the skull appears as a warm gold line and its reflections repeat into the glass behind, so the face seems to float inside the tube. It stands 15cm tall and 8.5cm across, a compact size that sits easily among other decorations without crowding them.
We see it as a piece for the Halloween season, on a mantelpiece, a hallway shelf, a sideboard or a windowsill, or in the middle of a dining table set for a spooky supper. Its flat base lets it stand on its own, and at 8.5cm across it fits narrow ledges where a bigger lantern would not. It is a light for dry rooms indoors, so keep it to living rooms, halls, bedrooms and dining rooms rather than a bathroom, porch or garden. Because it runs on batteries, there is no flex to trail, and you can set it wherever it looks best rather than wherever the nearest socket happens to be.
The tube is glass with a shiny finish and sits on a slim black base. It takes three AA batteries, which are not included, so have a set to hand before you first light it. To keep the glass bright, wipe it with a soft dry cloth, and take the batteries out when you pack it away at the end of the season. It makes a thoughtful Halloween gift, or a good first piece for a spooky shelf of your own.
