Osculati offers a practical solution for this: an LED lamp that can be flexibly attached anywhere on the canopy using a magnetic clamping system. Thanks to the magnet and counterpart, the small clamp adheres securely, even when the cake stand is closed. The lamp has an operating time of up to twelve hours. It is charged via a USB cable; a battery indicator shows the charge status. The light intensity can be regulated. Switches on/off using a motion sensor.
