Officially licensed Star Wars mood lamps keep away the dark side

by Gavril Mankoo

Let’s not deny it, we know you simply can’t get enough of picking up Star Wars merchandise every time you visit a Comicon or a comic book store for that matter. Which is also why, you simply shouldn’t resist illuminating your geek-hole with an eerie glow that these Star Wars mood lights emit. Officially licensed by Lucasfilm Ltd, obviously, these Darth Vader and Stormtrooper helmets promise to add an extra dose of geekism to your living space. Ironically however, much to Darth Vader and the Stormtroopers’ disappointment, these helmets light up the dark side, literally. These mood helmet lights pack 5 energy-efficient LEDs each and work great when placed on bedside tables, near workstations or by the bar. Also, these helmets are battery powered, allowing you to carry on under your arm every time you decide to walk to the fridge at night for a nocturnal snack.

Made from highly-detailed matte-finished plastic, the Darth Vader and Stormtrooper helmets come with an on/off switch and are available in two sizes. While the smaller version measures in at 16cm(W) x 13.5cm(H) x 15.5cm(D), the larger light measures 25cm(W) x 25cm(H) x 24cm(D). We aren’t sure if these are completely waterproof though, and we suggest you don’t try sticking your head into one either. The Darth Vader and Stormtrooper mood lamps are priced at about $26 for the small size and approximately $66 for the larger one.
