IonMax Negative Ion Inverter Desk Lamp Creates a Positive Working Environment

We’ve come across a number of seemingly pointless fusions of functions in a number of gadgets we’ve featured in the past – and still, of them all, the external MP3 speaker with integral pencil sharpener remains the undisputed king of that castle in this respect – but this IonMax Negative Ion Inverter Desk Lamp actually strikes us as being a fairly inspired dual function device.

Designed to be used as a desktop lamp, the IonMax Negative Ion Inverter Desk Lamp offers everything you’d expect from an adjustable poise lighting device except that its base also houses a light detection unit (which advises when surrounding lighting levels are less than 150LUX courtesy of a blue light that prompts you that, in order to avoid eye strain, the lamp should be switched on), as well as a built in Anion generator which will stream negatively charged ions into your immediate workspace.

Negatively charged ion production can be set to the required performance levels thanks to a ‘crystal horn’ style knob with the resulting stream of ions serving not only to clean the air of dust but also working to counteract electrostatic charges created by electrical equipment such as computers (as well as purportedly promoting a sense of well being).

Ideal for those of us who invariably spend a great part of our daily lives seated at a desk but who could use a little invigoration as the hours pass by, the IonMax Negative Ion Inverter Desk Lamp, which comes in either silver or blue and retails for AU$145 (approximately $126 / £61 / €85), could prove to be an ideal working companion.
