# Animal Lamps
> Animal night lights cut from real wood, for rooms that love the natural world
These are wooden night lamps with animal scenes cut into the wood. When the light is on, the design glows warmly. The range spans savannah wildlife, forest creatures and ocean life, so there is usually a design to suit any animal lover. Each lamp is laser-cut and hand-finished in our London studio, from responsibly sourced natural wood.

## How an animal lamp is made, in a small London studio
Artiviesta is a small studio in London, founded in 2024 by Marko Miholić. Every lamp is designed, laser-cut and hand-finished there, and each order is checked by hand before it is posted.
Each animal lamp starts as a piece of responsibly sourced natural wood. The scene is cut with a laser and the lamp is assembled by hand. Because it is real wood, the grain is never identical on two lamps, so yours is genuinely one of a kind.

## Choosing animal lamps: your questions answered
### What is a wooden animal lamp?
A wooden animal lamp is a small decorative lantern made from layers of laser-cut wood, with an animal scene cut through the front. A warm LED behind the layers makes the scene glow, so it works as a night light after dark and as a wooden picture in daylight.
### Which animal lamp should I choose?
Choose the animal that means something to the person: their own pet (see cat lamps and dog lamps), a favourite wild animal (lion, wolf, deer, owl), or a gentle character for a child (bunny, hedgehog, dinosaur). Our wildlife lamps guide groups the designs by room and person.
### Are animal lamps good for adults or just children?
Both. Children usually prefer friendly characters such as bunnies and dinosaurs; adults tend to choose calmer scenes such as a cat in a moonlit window, wolves, deer or safari sunsets, which read as décor in a bedroom, study or living room.
### Are animal night lights safe to leave on overnight?
Yes. The LED stays cool to the touch and runs on low-voltage USB, so the lamps are designed to stay on all night. Use a reputable USB plug and keep the cable out of reach of very young children and chewing pets.
### Do animal lamps make good gifts?
They are one of the few gifts used every evening. An animal that matches the person’s pet or passion makes it personal. See our cat lover and dog lover gift guides, or commission a custom pet lamp.

## Cut and finished by hand in London
- **1. Pick the wood** Every lamp is cut from responsibly sourced natural wood, so the material is a good one from the start.
- **2. Cut the design** A laser cuts the animal scene into the wood, keeping fine detail in ears, feathers and leaves.
- **3. Sand by hand** Every edge is sanded by hand until the surface feels smooth and pleasant to touch.
- **4. Finish and check** The lamp is sealed with a non-toxic finish, then checked by hand before it is posted.
## Runs on any 5V USB socket
Each lamp runs from any standard 5V USB socket, and the cable is included. A phone charger, a laptop USB port or a power bank all work, so you can put the lamp almost anywhere. There are no batteries to replace.

## Frequently Asked Questions
### 1. Can this lamp be left on all night safely?
Yes. The lamp stays cool to the touch and is safe to leave on all night, even in a child's room.
It runs on low-power USB, stays cool the whole time it is on and uses very little electricity, so leaving it on through the night is fine.
### 2. What wood is used to make the lamps?
The lamps are cut from responsibly sourced natural wood.
Each lamp is cut from real wood and finished by hand with a non-toxic sealant. Because it is real wood, the grain is slightly different on every single piece.
### 3. Do I need a special plug or adapter?
No. Any standard 5V USB socket works, and the cable is included.
A phone charger, a laptop USB port or a power bank all work, so you can run the lamp almost anywhere.
### 4. Can I power it from a USB power bank?
Yes. Plug it into any standard 5V power bank and it will run without a cable to the wall.
The lamp uses very little power, so a power bank is a handy way to use it somewhere without a nearby socket.
### 5. What is the return policy?
You have a 21-day money-back return policy, and UK dispatch is free and tracked.
If it is not right for you, send it back within 21 days for a refund. Every order is packed in protective, recyclable packaging.
