Sunset lamps are everywhere on TikTok at the moment, and it's easy to see why. These mesmeric lights create a soothing sunset effect on your wall, perfect for a striking video backdrop or just relaxing sundown vibes even when skies are grey.
Sunset lamps offer a range of colours; deep red, cheerful yellow, luxurious gold, and even futuristic rainbow shades.
What is a sunset lamp?
Sunset lamps are small tabletop light projectors that produce a range of colour washes on your wall. The most popular is a golden yellow shade akin to a tropical sunset, hence the name.
As sunset lamps (or sunset projectors as they're also called) are easily transportable, you can use them in any room in your home. Why not create a spa-like bathroom with one? Or tie one into the neon decor trend? You can use them outside too. They'd make a great Love Island-style backdrop for evening drinks or a BBQ on the terrace.
There are plenty of affordable sunset lamps on the market, making them a great housewarming gift or simply a little treat for yourself.
Sunset lamps may help a little with seasonal affective disorder too, but investing in a light therapy lamp, or a SAD lamp as they're also called, is recommended.
