Normally I do whatEVER it takes to nix lamps of all kinds in favor of recessed or trac.
I-Lumex ultra-modern lamp comes with its own USB port. Made of soft, tactile silicone in red, lavender, graphite and white hues, these versatile, multifunctional and user-friendly lamps are fully flexible and adjustable, literally bending over backwards to meet your lighting needs.

Designed by Takashi Hiroshi Tsuboi, the tear-drop shaped humidifier is ultrasonic and can produce moisture for up to ten consecutive hours.
