Description
This large mirrored glass ball is a light-up decoration that brings a glow to a shelf, sideboard or bedside table without a plug in sight. Unlit, the round sphere has a shiny silver mirror finish that reflects the room around it; once its LED lights are on, the glass lets the light show through from within, with a small bulb visible at its centre. It stands 14.6cm tall and 14.7cm deep, a neat size for a mantelpiece or a narrow ledge, and it rests on a slim round base that sits flat on the surface beneath it.
It suits any dry room indoors, from a living room or hallway to a bedroom or reading nook, and it is especially handy where you want a little light but have no socket nearby. Because it runs on two AA batteries rather than a cable, you can place it wherever it looks best and move it whenever you rearrange the furniture. It makes a thoughtful new home gift for someone who has just moved, a welcoming touch for a bare shelf or a freshly arranged corner while the boxes are still being unpacked.
The sphere is made of glass with a shiny finish, so we suggest treating it like any glass ornament and giving it a level spot away from the edge of a shelf. To keep the mirror surface bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it gently with a slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away. The two AA batteries are not included, so pick up a pair before you wrap it. As a gift, tuck the batteries into the parcel so it can light up the moment it is unwrapped; at home, try it on a dresser beside a framed photograph or a stack of books, where the silver reflects the room by day and the light shows through after dark.
