Dutch based firm Crealev has developed a ‘new levitation concept’ that will able to produce a very high levitation height combines with a low power dissipation and excellent stability’.
Crealev’s new concept is apparently the best way to show off the series of levitation lamps. The hanging part of ‘light shade’ includes some clever reflection/transmission to make it appear that the light is coming inside it. But if the light is coming from the hanging part, then it must have battery powered energy.
When I was looking at the photos of the light shade, its base is slightly underneath, so it must be just reflecting somehow off of the hanging element. I think the light is actually comes from the base and shining up and the only thing levitating is the lamp cover. Most likely the heat comes from the bulb in the base and due to this air causing the shade to float like a hot air balloon.
