About

The light a room comes with is almost never the light it needs. One fixture, dead centre in the ceiling, pointing straight down. It flattens everything underneath it and leaves the corners dark.

Mori & Lys is for the light you add afterwards. Everything we sell plugs in or runs on a battery.

What that rules out

A great deal, deliberately. No chandeliers. No recessed work. Nothing hardwired, nothing that wants a ceiling rose, an electrician and a free weekend.

What is left is the part of a room you can actually change. A bedside, a desk, a stretch of empty wall. A couple of screws or simply a flat surface, which means nothing here asks permission. No landlord to convince, no installer to book, no deposit at risk.

Light at more than one height

A room wants light at several heights. Something low on a table beside you. Something at eye level on a wall. Get those right and most evenings you will not reach for the overhead at all.

That is the whole reasoning behind a short list of table and wall pieces rather than a broad catalogue of everything.

What we are

A small independent shop with a deliberately short list. We are not a factory and we do not claim to be. We select lamps from manufacturers' catalogues, and we drop anything we cannot supply reliably.

We are based in Indonesia. Our lamps ship from our supplier's warehouse in China, and every product page gives its own delivery time, door to door. We would rather say that plainly than let anyone assume otherwise.

The numbers are on the page

Dimensions, materials, power source, switch type, delivery time and what is in the box sit on every product page. Those are the things that decide whether a lamp actually works where you want to put it.

Most of our lamps are rechargeable and charge from a USB cable, so they work with any US charger. The corded ones are rated for 110 to 120 volt North American outlets. All of it is for indoor rooms in dry locations. If a figure is missing, write to us and we will go and find out rather than guess.
