These Exploding Death Star Lamps Are Customized From an Ikea Lamp

A journey to a galaxy far, far away doesn’t require a hyperdrive anymore - just a simple flick of a switch. The Death Star pendant lamp, a unique product sold by the Etsy store CustomizedLampsAT, is a custom-made project that takes Star Wars fandom to new heights – and new light sources.

The lamp, which is as functional as it is an impressive homage to the Star Wars universe, is a transformation of a simple Ikea lamp into the notorious Death Star.

The metamorphosis involves meticulous hand-painting, using a professional gravity airbrush and high-quality acrylics. The artist spends approximately 15 hours transforming each lamp, ensuring that the final product is a piece of art that not only illuminates your room but also your love for the iconic Star Wars franchise.

The lamp features two strings for operation, a clever integration of design and functionality. One string switches the lamp on and off, while the other is designed to "explode" the Death Star.

Here's a photo of the original sci-fi inspired pendant lamp from Ikea.

Pulling this string doesn't result in planet-destroying consequences, though. Instead, it expands the lamp, allowing more light to fill the room - a stark contrast to the darkness that the actual Death Star is known for.

The original Ikea lamp, while practical, doesn't carry any of the Death Star's striking and intricate details. The seller from CustomizedLampsAT handpaints each panel of the lamp to mimic the Death Star's iconic design, which is instantly recognizable to any Star Wars fan.

CustomizedLampsAT's creation is a testament to how popular culture can be blended seamlessly into our everyday lives. Despite its otherworldly design, the Death Star pendant lamp fits into any room setting. It's a statement piece that captures the essence of the beloved sci-fi saga, turning a regular living space into a mini cinematic universe.

The lamp is shipped fully assembled, safely nestled in layers of bubble wrap and placed inside a sturdy cardboard box. The sellers take great care in packaging to ensure that it reaches customers in perfect condition. The package is also insured and tracked, providing further peace of mind to the customers.

The lamp doesn't come with a light bulb and ceiling hook, so you'll have to procure these items separately to mount the Death Star to your ceiling. Once installed, you're just a string-pull away from turning your room into a stage for an epic space saga.
