There are 3 main body components to the Acacia Lamp. These include the base which houses the power supply, and functions as a touch sensitive off/on switch. The main vertical body is a hollow shell which houses the LEDs and acts as a light tunnel. The third component is the lamp shade which redirects the light coming from the light tunnel.
When the user intends to change to the ambient orientation of the lamp, he/she would only need to push down on the protruding piece until it is flush with the body and the magnet snaps it into place. While the lamp shade was inspired in form by the Acacia Tree, each end of the shade was designed for its specific function. The ambient side is more angled to create better reflection and thus create an ambient glow. The task side is longer and more delicately angled to better direct the light to a specific location.
