Fiat Lux is a lamp with a switch that hovers underneath -no strings attached! The ball-shaped switch is magnetic, and rests on the lamp when not in use. When you approach the lamp, it turns itself on. Then you "hang" the switch underneath, where it levitates by magnetic force. Move the switch to turn the lamp off.

O_O That's Incredible!

The demonstration video looks fake, especially when the ball is 'unhooked' and put back on top of the lamp.

Great, a lamp so expensive that woman can't afford furniture. ;P

I thought Fiat Lux was stuff you washed your Italian car with.

I wonder how much power the magnetic levitation circuit wastes. Just because something can be built doesn't mean it should be. Let's have more Neat and less Orama.
