An Ever Changing Display of Light Trapped in Time
This is just amazing!
Your own personal Star Showers, to illuminate the bed or that cozy place on your living room.
This light device is romantic and magical at the same time; who wouldn't be happy to have one of these?
"Within this hourglass-like device, thousands of glass beads with special phosphor coating provide an electrifying light display – even after they have fallen.
Star Showers is not a timing mechanism, but an amazing conversation piece that captures all the majesty and wonder of a shower of falling stars trapped in time.
A simple flip of the hand blown glass chamber generates a cascade of thousands of phosphor coated glass beads that glow brightly as they are charged with static electric current.
With every turn a different light show is created – no two are ever the same. Even after the beads have fallen, a mix of inert gases creates a soft "Afterglow" in the center chamber while the glass beads below continue to pulsate with a fiery light."
