Operating on rechargable AA “eneloop” batteries, Sanyo’s new Eneloop Lamp based on high-luminance LED technology can be situated anywhere in the room since no cords constrain the placement.

It also uses a contactless charging system and has no metallic contact on the product body interrupting the design. The batteries are recharged by putting the lamp unit on the charging stand.

In low-white-light mode, one 12-hour charge lasts an impressive 45 hours, but on high output it only lasts 3 hours.

The Eneloop Lamp also features a blue lamp “Healing Light” mode that according to Sanyo “creates a healing ambience.” We don’t know exactly what the lamp will heal, nor have we seen any scientific data confirming this claim.

Finally, when the body is tilted 90 degrees or more, “a built-in acceleration sensor” turns the lamp into a flashlight that lasts up to six hours on one full charge. Sanyo suggests the flashlight be used in an emergency situations like a midnight earthquake or for more frequent day-to-say use as a handy portable light.

There has been no official price about the new desk light goes on sale in September 11 yet.
