From butt-lifting leggings to tea that tastes like "liquified cake," TikTok has become one of the best places to discover unusual yet amazing products that you never knew you needed. And users on the app can't get enough of one affordable home upgrade — sunset projection lamps.
The light, which projects a golden hour-like effect onto walls, has gone viral. TikTok videos featuring the product have more than 296 million collective views. One user called theirs a "game-changer" while another posted a video saying, "this lamp is the best thing I own." Social media users on Twitter and Instagram also can't get enough of the eye-catching glow.
It's not particularly surprising that people are loving this product. With the continuing cold weather and the notion of being cooped up at home during chilly days, bringing a permanent dose of sunshine into your room seems like just the remedy to help cure any stay-at-home fatigue.
They're affordable, too. Sure, you'll find some that come at a high price tag, like the sleek Halo One which will cost you over $1,000, but there are also plenty of wallet-friendly options that you can find on Etsy, Amazon and other similar retailers. Below, we rounded up five lamps that will brighten your space with their stunning colors and sunset-like effects.
