Three night lights, three moods
The Moon gives an even warm light and looks like a little moon on the shelf. By day the Lithophane is just a white cylinder, but when you switch the light on a picture appears on it. The Starry Lantern turns the room into a night sky: light passing through the cut-outs draws stars on the ceiling and walls.
How a lithophane works
The wall of a lithophane varies in thickness from 0.8 to 3.2 mm. Thin areas let more light through and glow brighter, thick ones stay darker. That’s why the picture only shows against the light. The example shows a night landscape with mountains, a forest and the moon, but it can be your photo instead: high-contrast shots with a clear subject work best. We’ll show you how it will look before printing.
Light and safety
The night light is lit by a battery LED tea light, 38 mm across — it goes into the pocket in the base and is not included. An LED barely warms up, so the plastic is safe. Don’t put a real candle inside: PLA softens from about 55–60 °C. The night lights are decorative and not certified as children’s toys — put them on a shelf or bedside table.
A gift
A lithophane with a photo is a gift nobody else has: your family, a pet or a favourite place. The Moon and the Starry Lantern suit a nursery where a soft light is needed at bedtime. Looking for more ideas? See our 3D printed figurines and Christmas tree ornaments.
