Stained Glass Style Resin Christmas Tree Lamp, Gold Star, USB Powered

A small Christmas tree lamp for the table, about 7 inches tall, made in resin to look like a stained-glass window. Red, green, amber and rose panels sit in four tiers under a gold star. Once it is plugged in, a warm light shines through every one of them and throws a little color onto the table around it.

No batteries to change. No string of lights to untangle. It runs from a USB port, so a USB wall adapter or a laptop is all it needs.

Color you can see from across the room, lit or not

Most Christmas lights give you one color on a long wire, and most small trees on a shelf are a plain green cone that disappears once the room gets dark. A stained-glass window works the other way round, because the color lives in the panels and the light simply carries it out into the room.

This tree is built the same way. Each tier is a ring of pointed panels, every one outlined in a raised bronze-tone line like the leading in an old church window. The lower edge of each tier ends in points, so the outline reads like a fir. In daylight, switched off, the panels still show their jewel colors against the bronze lines, so it earns its place on the shelf all day. In the evening the warm light comes through. The pale panels glow brightest, and the table picks up soft flecks of red, green and gold.

Holly on the base and a gold star on top

The tree stands on a short trunk over a round base finished to look like dark carved wood. Raised holly leaves with clusters of red berries sit at the front, and curling vines with more berries run around the rest of it, so the base looks just as finished from the side as from the front.

At the top, a five-pointed gold star sits on a small bronze-tone collar. Each arm of the star is cut into two faces along a center ridge, so it catches the light from any side of the room.

A soft light for the table, not a reading lamp

The glow is gentle, under 60 lumens, so it sets the mood in a corner rather than lighting the whole room. That makes it a good fit for the places a big lamp would be too much: a coffee table, a mantel between the stockings, a windowsill, a bedside table or the middle of the dining table.

At about the height of a paperback and a little over 4 inches across, it fits a narrow sill or a crowded shelf without moving anything else. Plug it in when the evening starts, and the corner it sits in looks like Christmas until the last light goes off.
