If this all sounds too much, you may be better off purchasing an all-in-one table light to fulfill your illumination needs. Lumio, the maker of the aesthetically pleasing—and downright interesting—Lito book lamp, offers just that. Right now, the Lito Classic Portable Light is on sale for up to 60 percent off at Nordstrom (depending on the color). If the Lito looks familiar, you aren’t imagining things. In 2015, the founder of Lumio, Max Gunawan, made his elevator pitch on Shark Tank. His products, including the book lamp, were so well-received that multiple sharks put in offers to secure stake and grow Lumio. Today, Lumio is one of the most successful Shark Tank products. To buy: $80 (was $200); nordstrom.com. Lumio’s normally $200-plus light (now $80) is modeled after a book, with the light portion existing between the “pages.” This makes the product one-of-a-kind as is, but what takes the Lito up a notch is its portability and ability to transform into two additional lights. Open the book and the pages expand to create an even greater light source. You can lay the book flat or pull the front and back covers down further to create a stunning circular paper lamp that resembles a stretched-out accordion. The durable Tyvek pages remain upright in both configurations. The Lito’s versatility can be styled to suit multiple places in your home, acting as an eye-catching bedside lamp, luminous desk light, and more. Make the Lito light mobile by utilizing the product’s magnet attachments to carry the circular configuration around like a purse. Take this portable LED light outside to use as a night light for your outdoor space. It could also be an additional source of light while entertaining outside or act as a companion during a nighttime walk. Plus, if the power ever goes out, this is a chic alternative to your basic flashlight. To buy: $120 (was $200); nordstrom.com. Fully charged, the Lito’s built-in LED light can last up to eight hours and features a brightness level that is a little lighter than a 40-watt bulb. You can easily charge the Lumio book lamp with a USB cable (which comes with the purchase, but not a corresponding wall plug). The Lito Classic Portable Light in yellow/grey is available for 60 percent off and you can also get the wood version of the light for 40 percent off.
