Sometimes it takes time to develop a great product. The latter is definitely true for Mark McKenna’s Betty Lou lamp which took over 1000 hours to develop. But the result is simply stunning both visually and from a technological stand point.
Visually it looks like a large Riedel wine glass with a large glass dome and a small silver or gold ‘flashlight’ providing the illumination through a handful of high intensity LED lights and a reflective base in the ‘glass’. Simply gorgeous!
Technologically it is a real stunner, all you need to do is insert the charging funnel and set the ‘flashlight’ on top, and voila, it’s done, it’s charging away, so the next time you turn them on, you’ll have an easy 7 hours of continuos illumination.
Unlike your Riedel glasses, Betty Lou is made out of Polycarbonate, so it’s a lot safer than glass, but it looks identical. It’s simply a very uncomplicated and elegant lamp, perfect for any dinner setting.
