Lamps provide light but how light does a lamp shade have to be in order for it to float in the air?

The answer to that question is 13 ounces; at least that’s the maximum weight for the Levitron Lamp with Levitating Shade to work its magic. Shhh! You don’t have to tell anybody that it’s physics and not magic doing the work.

Using the power of magnetism, the shade appears to float and turn above the stylish 16.5-inch-high lamp. If you decide something even more visually stunning than a floating shade is required, you can use the magnet within the lamp to levitate other objects… as long as they don’t weigh more than the previously mentioned 13 ounces.

The lamp itself contains six cool-white, high-intensity LEDs to provide accent lighting as well as a cool-looking, gravity-defying visual effect.

Defy the power of gravity while throwing some light around for $149.95.
