At last January’s CES, smart-bulb pioneers Philips Hue launched its range of actual light fixtures, and this tabletop blob, which the Verge likened to a “space jellyfish,” is our favorite offering. It features a whopping 50,000 different shades of light (from super warm to super cool), which can be adjusted via your smartphone or set in advance, so you can easily change up the vibe of your living room or bedroom, whether you’re throwing a toddler birthday party or looking to have a cozy night curled up on the couch. And while it does look a little jellyfish-y, it will go quite well with your mid-century-modern décor. (Note, there are a bunch of other Philips Hue products on sale right now, including this lighting starter kit, this ceiling lamp, and this other table lamp.)Original Price: $100
