When I see pillars of light from the sky, my mind immediately goes to alien abductions, thanks to sci-fi movies and shows that show people being kidnapped by aliens on their ships. But light pillars are actually beautiful optical phenomenon that some are privileged to see in real life and not scary at all. To see it replicated in every day objects is pretty cool.

The Fila Night Mood Light by Auge Light takes its inspiration from light pillars to give an atmospheric and aesthetic lamp. Using a magnetic suction filament, they’re able to somehow connect “the sky and the ground” at least inside the lamp. They also use a magnetic suction ball to represent the “floating heart of a human being”.
Basically you have a linear pillar of light shining inside this structure. You can control the brightness on three levels, with level 1 being 10%, level 2 at 50%, and if you want the full effect, you get 100% in level 3. It uses magnetic absorption LED to give you the lighting magic. You can also shake it to degauss (remove unwanted magnetism) the filament and invert the lamp body magnetic suction so the filament becomes vertical.
The mood lamp does look pretty especially when placed in dark areas as it adds a certain futuristic look to your space. I still feel like a UFO will pluck me from my house though especially as the top suction part looks like the entrance to an alien spaceship.
