Regarding Lei Light Reflection Multifunctional Lighting
Lei Light Reflection is a lighting product that combines a lamp, an aroma diffuser and a mirror. Three light colors and four brightness levels allow the light to suit different situations in small personal spaces. Reflected light inside the oval frame creates a soft glow seen from any angle. The body is made of aluminium and shaped by careful craftsmanship. The diffuser spreads aroma oil across an aluminium plate by capillary action, and gentle heating releases the scent into the air. The form recalls traditional Japanese andon lanterns.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- A lighting product combined with aroma diffuser and a mirror. With 3 color types and 4 levels of dimming, the product contributes to customize a variety of situations at personal, small-scaled spaces. It is an innovative design that utilizes reflected light inside the oval-shaped frame, creating a soft and beautiful light from any angle. The refined aluminum body is finished by superior craftsmanship. The diffuser uses an international patent pending technology utilizing capillary action.
- Inspiration
- The design aesthetic is reminiscent of traditional Japanese lighting or the shape of ancient andon lanterns. It could also be described as an embodiment of the keen sensibility towards delicately transitioning season of Japan and the time within it.
- Realization and Technology
- The aroma diffuser uses an international patent pending technology. By setting a few drops of aroma oil upon the aluminum plate matrix, it will spread over the entire plate surface through capillary action and efficiently diffuse the scent to the air, assisted by heating operation.
- Operation and Interaction
- When using the light: 1. Adjust the lighting part to preferred angle. 2. Touch the power/brightness switch and light color switch to select the brightness/color of the LED light. Adjustment is possible by pressing multiple times. 3.When turning the power off, press the power/brightness switch. When using the aroma diffuser: With the aroma saucer and aroma plate set, drop the aroma oil and press the heater to spread the scent slowly. Remove the aroma lid.
