Light Affection - Review and Giveaway

If you are looking to create a photo gift that's one-of-a-kind, I highly suggest Light Affection.  The company offers personalized compact lamps and night lights using a porcelain engraving that comes alive when illuminated.  The varying thickness of the translucent maerial creates the illusion of the original image.  Based on your photo, a piece is carved using a special technique and created into a personalized compact lamp or night light.  Each Light Affection piece is carved based on a personal photograph and each original has its own unique serial number. 


I was blessed to receive a personalized night light for review.  I submitted a couple of photos and was immediately contacted by email about image size or quality.  I like that the company wanted to ensure I had a quality photo I could use to get the best final product.  I ended up choosing a photo of my teenage daughter during Homecoming night last year.  I was emailed back with a sample image of what the overall photo would look like.  Within a couple of weeks, I received my final product and was quite pleased.  Normal production time for each Light Affection piece is ten workdays.

When turned off, the night light looks like a wooden frame with a white etched photo inside.  When turned on, the night light illuminates the photo, giving a beautiful glow.  Seeing the etched photo be transformed into an illuminated light is mesmerizing.  The included light bulb is an energy efficient bulb that is long lasting and doesn't get hot.  There's a switch on the front so you can turn the light on and off at will.  The night light is set up to fit outlets that are positioned up/down on a wall.  It will work for a sideways outlet but the picture won't be upright.  The quality of the night light is superior and I'm wowed by the final product.

Win It!

One person will win a gift certificate for a free personalized Night Light from Light Affection.

I learned
If I send a photo, will I get it back ?
All we do with the phonograph you send us is scan it on a flat scanner. It will be returned to you unharmed with the final piece. Make sure you send it to us in a hardcover envelope so that it isn't bent in the mail.
