FAQ
How does the lamp know when the moon is visible?

It uses custom-designed electronics and algorithms that sync with your location and time to track the moon's real phases, illuminating only when the moon is actually visible.

Is each lamp unique?

Yes, because it is carved from natural alabaster, a stone with its own veining and pattern, so no two pieces look exactly alike even within the limited edition of 250.

Can I customize this lamp?

Yes, this piece can be customized upon request — use Chat with the maker on this page to discuss options.

What is the lamp made of and how should I care for it?

It is hand-carved from natural alabaster using a stone carving technique; for specific cleaning or care instructions, the maker can confirm — use Chat with the maker on this page.

Can I return this piece if I change my mind?

This lamp is made to order, so it is excluded from the standard 14-day return policy.

How is the lamp powered, and will it work with my outlet?

The piece includes custom-designed electronics, but specific details on power source and plug adaptation for your country are best confirmed with the maker — use Chat with the maker on this page.

Does this lamp come with a certificate of authenticity?

Yes, a certificate of authenticity is included with every purchase.
