The Jellyfish Mood Lamp, manufactured in Japan, is a novelty desk lamp or night light that holds water and several plastic jellyfish. The LED lights in the tank's top rotate through several colors and allow the user to stop the rotation at any color that suits his mood. Depending upon the size of tank ordered, the Jellyfish Mood Lamp comes with three to five jellyfish, an adhesive backing for the tank, the lights and a motor. The motor shuts off automatically after one hour. A common problem with the Jellyfish Mood Lamp is that bubbles adhere to the fish, causing them to gather at the top of the tank and not "swim."
