The new Green Airswitch 1 is amazing. Lamps are usually about as exciting as watching paint dry. The mystifying Air Switch from the clever folk at Mathmos has changed all that.
The Air Switch is an incredible innovation in the world of weird and wonderful lamps, because it's controlled via a mere wave of the hand. For some unfathomable reason, waving your hand just above the rim of the Air Switch turns it on, whilst brightness is controlled via an up/down hand movement.
We really can't overstate how impressive all this is. Just imagine, you get home with your date, put on some music, casually wave your hand above the Air Switch and instantly give the room a gorgeously ambient glow. If that doesn't impress, nothing will.
The Air Switch is ideal for those moments when fumbling around for the light switch is not a viable option. Plus the feeling of power you get from controlling it in an 'I command you to work' deity-fashion is oddly empowering.

Operation of Your Airswitch:
Airswitch is controlled by an invisible beam. You are only operating the lamp when your hand is in the beam. It is essential that you move your hand slowly, but not too slowly.
Switching Your Airswitch Off:
Switch Airswitch on or off by moving your hand horizontally over the top of the light with a slow purposeful movement.
Airswitch is designed to fade on and off.
Airswitch will remember the level of light when switched off and back on, even when unplugged.
To Brighten Your Airswitch:
Place your hand above the light source in the invisible beam.
To achieve maximum brightness start with you hand approximately 2cm above the lamp and move it slowly upwards to approximately 30cm/1ft from the top of the light, taking care to keep your hand in the beam.
To Dim Your Airswitch:
Place your hand directly above the light source in the invisible beam. To dim the light fully start the movement with your hand approx. 30cm from the top of the light and move it slowly downwards towards the top of the light, taking care to keep your hand in the beam.
