LumiBonsai LED Tabletop Tree Light

A table lamp lights a corner. A string of fairy lights in a jar is a nice idea that looks like a string of fairy lights in a jar. There is not much between the two that works as a quiet light in a room.

The LumiBonsai is a small tree with 108 warm white LEDs at the tips of its branches. The branches are copper wire wrapped in silver, so every one of them bends — you shape the tree yourself and it holds the shape.

It runs from USB or three AA batteries, and switches on with a touch of the base. The remote-control version adds eight lighting modes and a dimmer.

Why You'll Love It

🌳 Bend It Into Shape
Every branch holds whatever position you put it in. The tree you end up with is yours rather than the one that came out of the box, and it can be reshaped whenever you like.

💡 108 Warm White LEDs
Enough points of light to glow properly rather than looking sparse, and warm rather than blue-white — the difference between cosy and clinical.

👆 Touch the Base
No switch to find in the dark and no cable-mounted inline switch dangling off a table. One touch on the base turns it on.

🔌 USB or Batteries
Plug it in where there is a socket, or run it on three AA cells where there is not. A mantelpiece or a windowsill rarely has a socket nearby.

🎛️ Remote Version
The remote adds eight modes — steady, slow fade, twinkle and so on — plus a dimmer and a timer. Worth the small difference in price if it is going somewhere you sit in the evening.

🎄 A Small Christmas Tree
For a flat, a desk, a hallway table or a bedroom where a real tree will not fit. It does the same job in a much smaller space and goes up in a minute.

💍 Weddings and Parties
Several down a long table give a soft light at face height, which photographs far better than overhead lighting.

🛏️ Quiet Enough for a Bedroom
Low, warm and dimmable. It works as a night light for a child or as the only light left on in the evening.

📦 Flat to Store
The branches fold in and the whole thing packs away small. It does not take up a corner of a loft for eleven months.

🪶 Not Just for December
A lit tree in warm white is not an obviously seasonal thing. Plenty stay out all year on a shelf.

Shape It However You Like

Spend a few minutes spreading the branches when it arrives — out of the box they are packed flat, and the shape is most of the effect.

Batteries are not included. If it is going somewhere without a socket, have three AA cells ready.
