Sunset lamps have gone viral on TikTok numerous times, and it’s exceedingly easy to see why -

Whether you struggle with SAD throughout the winter months or simply miss the warming glow golden hour, a sunset projection lamp could be just what you need.

Picture it: it’s a cold, dank day, it’s not even 4pm yet and the light is already starting to fade. You can’t help but feel fed up. If you’re anything like me, those gloomy days, where there’s never enough light and warmth, can leave you feeling totally drained. Then, BAM. You switch on your effortlessly summery (think: major Love Island villa vibes) sunset lamp projector, and you start to feel your mood lifting.

And, they’re not just great for boosting your mood and making even the coldest, darkest days feel lighter, these nifty little lamps also work a treat for creating content backgrounds for TikToks or taking a selfie.

These social media-adored gadgets are the light at the end of the tunnel (see what we did there); at the flick of a switch, you can fill any bedroom or living room with multicolor ambiance. Thinking about purchasing a sunset light? Here’s everything that you need to know.

What is the point of a sunset lamp and how do they work?

Sunset projection lamps mimic a natural-looking sunset that can be projected onto any surface,
from bedroom walls and ceilings to garden walls and canvas coverings. They be used for a
range of purposes, from replacing overly-bright nightlights to giving your home a warming, sunset red glow. Most sunset lamps feature shades of deep red, zesty orange and cheerful yellow, along with gold and pink undertones. But, some - more unique models - also offer a range of futuristic rainbow-hued shades. Consider your home decor game elevated.

Sunset projection lamps tend to emit a circle of light that’s similar to the sun. They feature a light that’s covered by a transparent cover that features a gradient in it; it’s this gradient that creates the sunset-like effect. When faced towards a wall, the greater the distance from the wall the lamp is positioned, the larger the sunset will appear.

Usually, small sized tabletop lights, sunset projection lamps tend to feature LED bulbs and colourful hued covers (it’s these that are responsible for creating the colour washed look). When turned on, sunset lamps cast a red, orange, and yellow hued circle of light onto nearby surfaces in a sunset-like pattern.

Sunset lamps come in different sizes so they can be used as table lamps, desk lamps or floor lamps – and the majority are dimmable to tailor your mood lighting to your preferences. Some are mains powered, while others are rechargeable via a USB port. We’ve featured a plethora of high quality best sellers down below which you can add to your checkout.
