Burning halogen light bulb with reflections of a graphic image on an underlying tablet screen. The lamp 'floats' slightly above the tablet.

The warm-white glow of the coils contrasts beautifully with the dark background and the blue colours of the graphic image. By briefly exposing the lamp's screw thread separately from above, this part also contrasts beautifully with the dark background.

The wires soldered to the contact points, required for operating the lamp without using a socket, are not visible from the visible side.
