Know before you buy
The bulb uses magnetic levitation technology. You gently lower the bulb toward the center of the walnut base until you feel an upward magnetic force, at which point you can release it and it will hover in place.
No, the FLYTE Nikola does not use batteries. It is powered wirelessly through the base via the included 15V AC adapter, which must be plugged into a wall outlet for the light to function.
Yes. The power adapter is compatible with global voltages ranging from 100V to 240V, making it suitable for use in most countries worldwide.
If the power is disconnected, the bulb will simply drop onto the base, held in place by the magnets. If it is bumped, the magnetic field will generally catch the bulb, though it may wobble briefly before stabilizing.
The energy-efficient LED is rated for a 50,000-hour lifespan. If you were to leave the lamp on for 12 hours every day, the bulb would last for over 11 years.
The FLYTE Nikola is designed as a cohesive system. While the LED has an exceptionally long lifespan, the bulb is a proprietary component of the levitation mechanism and is not intended to be swapped out for standard third-party light bulbs.
