The limited edition Lightbodies by Kilu lamps have a striking resemblance to the human form, and what's more, they become part of the atmosphere because of their life-like size and human features. There are four different designs in total, two for the female and two for the male. The one female lamp is standing up-right with a slight pose, while the other design has a bit more personality with the female sitting, and you can definitely make out her curves. Both male designs have the masculine bodies striking a fierce pose.
Each female lamp has a pink colored bulb and each male lamp has an orange colored bulb -- they're both akin to a life-sized Barbie and Ken doll.
