Mathmos are no strangers to cool lighting gadgets like this 9V portable one and many other nifty thingies that make your life easier and – why not – brighter. It's high time we introduced to you a piece of truly magic nature, which will have your friends gazing in awe, at least a while after they first lay eyes on it: the Airswitch TC. And in any case, this special lamp will be one of your strong cards each time you'll be at home with your date because it's... well, magic.

 

How about controlling a lamp without touching it and of course, with no wireless remote controls involved? Sounds cool, doesn't it? Well, it is cool indeed, as there are two convenient things to this.

 

First of all, you can use the lamp without leaving fingerprints and definitely without leaving greasy food traces on it, as it's the case with common lamps. And then there's the very cool way to do such a common thing like turning a lamp on or off and dimming the light to the desired intensity with just a wave of your hand! The proprietary Mathmos Airswitch technology uses a special sensor that will analyze the movement of your hand and determine its position in relation to the lamp, then take the preset actions.

All you have to do to turn it off (or on) is run your hand over it with a horizontal movement and the lights will go out as if by magic. In case you want to adjust the intensity of the light, just "press" your hand above it in a downwards movement and the light will dim; make the opposite movement and the light will be brighter, all without even touching the lamp.

 

Now think about the most convenient place for the Mathmos Airswitch TC, so you can take full advantage of your freshly-obtained magic skills so you can make the best impression on your new date. The magic will also make $81 disappear from your wallet.
