Shadow Animation Lamp
It's a spining lamp with patterns that, when lit by a flashing light, makes moving shadow animations - like old cartoons made with light.
It used metal or plastic to make the shapes,and a motor to spin them. A flashing LED light makes the shadows move like animation.
It’s like a mix of old shadow shows and animation toys. It tricks your eyes into seeing movement and turns light into art.
