Forget everything you thought you knew about mixing light fixtures and water — sure, your vanity light in the bathroom exploded in a million fantastic jagged arcs when a splash of water hit the bare bulb, but you were dealing with conventional, store-bought, sad little bulbs; the Xenon bulb laughs at your iridescent clunkers and takes a deep dive into an orb of water with the WET Lamp.
The designers haven’t gone into a ton of detail about the magic inside the box (when you see something that doesn’t immediately make sense, first instinct is to ask a million questions), but have offered some information on how the WET Lamp works: with the 10W Xenon bulb submerged into a sphere of hand-blown borosillicate glass, by sliding a thin silver rod into the water the light bulb is brought to life (and, the further submerged the rod, the brighter the light).
Available in 3 different sizes (4″ – 8.5″ wide) and both frosted and clear models, you can pick up this oddity for yourself at Generate, starting at $199.
