Your nightstand already holds a phone, a glass of water, and a book you have been meaning to finish since a different presidential administration. Apparently it also has room for a spacecraft. The WOLOLOW Night Light Ver. 2.0 puts a little illuminated flying saucer beside the bed, where its biggest mission is making your charging cables look embarrassingly terrestrial.
This is a tabletop accent lamp with a rounded, disc-shaped shell, a ring of oval portholes, and a slender metal base. Light shines through the windows rather than through a conventional lampshade. It looks like somebody parked a tiny Space Age house indoors and left the occupants awake.
The version 2.0 part matters. Beneath that playful exterior is a replaceable 12V MR16 LED bulb with a GU5.3 base. When the bulb needs replacing, you can change the light source instead of treating the entire saucer as a decorative fossil. A lamp that lets you replace its bulb should not feel like a plot twist, but here we are.
A little spacecraft with a real tabletop footprint
WOLOLOW takes its visual cues from Space Age architecture, with the unmistakable flying-saucer geometry associated with the Futuro House. Designers Arthur Koshatahyan and Kostya Trunov have translated that architectural personality into an object small enough for a bedside cabinet. It is a much easier way to bring that look home than explaining a prefabricated spaceship to your neighborhood association.
The lamp measures 10 inches across and 6.5 inches tall, or 254 by 165 millimeters. That is compact compared with a house, obviously, but substantial enough that you should actually measure the intended spot. A narrow nightstand can fill up surprisingly fast when a saucer lands on it.
Its body is ABS plastic, the windows are polycarbonate, and the metal base has coated tips. Those materials are worth distinguishing from the shiny presentation: the chrome finish is a finish choice, not a claim that the whole shell is solid metal. The angled supports give the rounded body its perched, just-landed appearance.
The windows are the detail that sells the whole idea. Off, they break up the shell like little architectural openings. On, they become bright ovals around the body. The result makes sense as a small piece of sculpture during the day and an accent light after dark, without requiring anyone to pretend it is an actual spacecraft.
The useful change is inside
Version 2.0 uses external power and a replaceable LED. It comes with a warm-white 12V MR16 / GU5.3 bulb and a magnetic USB power cable. A wall adapter is not included, so leave a little room in the plan for the power source as well as the lamp itself.
The makers demonstrate the prototype running with both a USB wall adapter and a power bank. Inside, a DC-to-DC converter steps the 5V USB input up to 12V for the bulb. That does not turn the lamp into a cordless model with its own internal battery; it still needs an external supply connected by cable.
There is a pleasantly ordinary bit of ownership hidden under all the retro styling. You can keep the shell and change the bulb. That separates the object you chose for its appearance from the part that produces the light. It also means bulb compatibility deserves a moment of attention rather than a hopeful rummage through the miscellaneous drawer.
- Use a compatible 12V MR16 LED with a GU5.3 base; the makers specify 12V bulbs only.
- The included warm-white bulb supplies the straightforward lighting option.
- A compatible smart MR16 bulb is an optional, separate purchase.
- The magnetic USB cable is included, while the wall adapter is separate.
- Plan a place for the power cable when choosing a bedside, shelf, or accent-table location.
Smart lighting depends on your bulb
WOLOLOW can accept a compatible smart bulb, but the shell itself is not a promise of every smart-home feature under the sun. Dimming, color changes, schedules, phone control, and platform compatibility depend on the bulb you install. If you want Apple Home or Google Home support, check the particular bulb rather than assuming the saucer handles the introductions.
The campaign’s working-prototype demonstration uses a standard warm-white bulb. Smart-bulb operation is described as an option, with a separate demonstration planned. That distinction is useful: someone who wants a warm decorative glow has a simpler shopping decision than someone building a carefully coordinated lighting system.
The prototype also shows visible internal converter hardware and wiring; the makers say a decorative cover is planned for production. It is a reminder that this is a crowdfunded design moving toward its finished version. The attractive photos establish the intended look, while the prototype details explain where development currently stands.

Choose your particular visiting spacecraft
The five finishes are white, yellow, orange, sky blue, and mirror chrome. They share the same basic silhouette, but they do not have the same presence in a room. White lets the little windows and unusual outline do most of the talking. Yellow and orange make the lamp a more deliberate accent. Sky blue has a softer look, while chrome reflects the surroundings and makes the whole landing feel slightly more official.
A shelf gives you a chance to display the saucer among books and other objects, provided there is enough space for its width and cable. A bedside cabinet makes the glowing portholes part of the evening scenery. Either way, it works best when the outline has a little breathing room. Cramming it behind a tissue box is a fairly disappointing first contact.
Think of it primarily as a characterful night light or accent piece. The campaign does not provide a reason to assume it replaces dedicated task lighting for every job. If your main aim is illuminating a large work surface, make that a separate lighting decision. This one’s particular charm is having a small, cheerful building glowing beside your ordinary possessions.
Availability and the important small print
WOLOLOW Ver. 2.0 is being offered through Kickstarter. Listed individual rewards start at $79 for early-bird color editions, with standard color editions at $99. Chrome rewards are listed at $119 early bird and $139 standard. Reward availability and shipping details should be checked on the campaign before backing.
The campaign runs through December 1, 2026, with estimated March 2027 delivery for individual lamps. That is a crowdfunding estimate, not a guaranteed arrival date or a promise that finished lamps are sitting in a warehouse. It is a better fit for someone happy to back the development process than someone needing a bedside lamp delivered for next weekend’s guests.

For the right room, the appeal is easy to understand: a lamp with enough personality to remain interesting when switched off, plus a light source you can replace when necessary. Your unread book may never reach its final chapter, but at least its neighboring spacecraft has a sensible maintenance plan.
