FAQ

Both lamps share the exact same shape, height and construction, a 100cm acrylic floor lamp on an 18cm base, weighing around a kilo, needing no assembly. The difference is entirely in colour and price. The Barbie version glows pink and white and costs £249, while the Marlboro version glows orange and white and is currently £149, reduced from £179.

The colour difference isn’t just cosmetic when it comes to picking one for a specific room or venue. Pink suits bedrooms, vanities, salons and Barbiecore-styled events, while orange and white suits home bars, gaming setups and retro Americana venues. If you’re buying for a space that’s already leaning one way in its colour palette, that’s usually the deciding factor rather than price.

Both ship worldwide with GBP, USD and EUR pricing shown at checkout, and both allow the branded text to be added or removed via checkout notes if you’d rather have a plain version.

Full specifications for each are on the Marlboro Cigarette LED Lamp and Barbie Cigarette LED Lamp product pages.

Not as a full bespoke redesign, since it’s sold as a fixed novelty shape and colourway. There is a small amount of flexibility though, you can add or remove text like the “Marlboro Lights” branding via the notes field at checkout, so if you want a completely plain version with no wording, that’s a request you can make before it ships.

If what you actually want is a similar glowing, eye-catching statement piece but with your own business’s logo or colours on it, that’s a different product category entirely, and one we can properly personalise. A Custom LED Signs piece or a Bespoke LED Cube Light Box gives you the same “people stop and photograph it” effect, but pointed at your own branding rather than a fixed novelty design.

Worth being upfront that these are genuinely different products built for different jobs, the cigarette lamp is a finished consumer piece, the lightbox range is built specifically for branding. If you’re not sure which fits what you’re picturing, it’s worth talking it through before ordering either.

Yes, it’s become a fairly popular hen do and pink-themed party piece, usually positioned as a photo-op corner rather than functional lighting for the whole event. Its size means it reads well in photos from across a room, which is exactly what most people want from an event centrepiece, something that looks good in the group photo everyone takes.

For a full pink-themed table setup rather than one standalone piece, it pairs well with smaller personalised items like a Custom Circle LED Table Lamp with the bride’s name or the date on it, giving you one large statement piece plus smaller personalised touches across the tables.

One thing worth flagging honestly, at 100cm tall and needing a stable floor position, it’s better suited to a venue with fixed space for it rather than a marquee or outdoor setting where it might need moving around during the event. Check the venue layout before committing to it as your main centrepiece.

The Marlboro Cigarette LED Lamp stands 100cm tall with an 18cm diameter base, and weighs around a kilo. That height puts it roughly at hip to waist level for most adults when it’s standing on the floor, which is the size it’s designed to be seen and photographed at rather than tucked away as a small accent piece.

It’s genuinely freestanding, no wall fixing or separate stand needed, and the base is wide enough relative to the height that it won’t tip over from a light knock, though we’d still avoid putting it somewhere with heavy foot traffic right past it, like directly inside a doorway.

For scale, that’s taller than most table lamps and shorter than a standard floor lamp, sitting in its own category really, since the shape means it needs floor space rather than a shelf or side table. If you’re planning where to put it, measure a 100cm clearance vertically and leave a bit of breathing room around the base so it doesn’t get knocked while someone’s moving around it.

Full specifications are on the Marlboro Cigarette LED Lamp page, including the exact base weight and materials used.

The lamp’s design references the classic cigarette lamp shape, and by default that can include text similar to “Marlboro Lights” styling in keeping with the novelty aesthetic. If you’d rather not have any branded text on it at all, you can request that it’s removed via the notes field at checkout, and it ships as a plain pink and white lamp with no wording.

This comes up most from people buying it as a gift or for a shared space where the cigarette branding reference feels like the wrong note, even though the lamp itself has nothing to do with smoking, it’s purely a shape and colour reference. Removing the text keeps the same silhouette and glow without that specific detail.

Worth knowing this is a checkout note request rather than a fully separate product listing, so make sure to add the request clearly when you order rather than assuming it’s automatic.

If you want a genuinely different branding option instead, personalised with your own text or logo, that’s a different product line, best explored through the Custom LED Signs range instead.

The Barbie Cigarette LED Lamp costs £249 GBP, with USD and EUR pricing also available at checkout for anyone ordering from outside the UK. That price covers the full 100cm lamp, ready to plug in with no assembly required, delivered worldwide.

It’s priced £100 higher than the Marlboro version of the same lamp shape, which reflects the different production run rather than any difference in size or build quality, both use the same acrylic construction, the same 100cm height, and the same plug in simplicity.

For context against similar novelty and statement lighting, £249 sits in the middle of the market for a genuinely large, 100cm floor lamp, cheaper than most bespoke branded lightboxes but more than a standard table lamp, which makes sense given the size and the distinctive shape you’re paying for.

Full details and current pricing are always on the Barbie Cigarette LED Lamp product page, since prices can shift with stock and seasonal offers.

Completely safe. Despite the shape, there’s nothing burning inside it. It’s an LED light fitting, the exact same basic technology as a bedside lamp, just built into an acrylic shade shaped like an oversized cigarette. There’s no flame, no heat build up beyond a normal light bulb, no smoke, and no smell.

This question comes up most from parents checking before buying one for a teenager’s room, and from bar and venue managers checking before putting one in a public space. In both cases, the honest answer is that it carries no more fire risk than any other plug in lamp in the building. It doesn’t need special ventilation, doesn’t get hot to the touch on the shade itself, and doesn’t produce any residue that needs cleaning.

The one thing worth knowing is that it’s designed as a statement piece rather than a functional reading lamp. The glow is warm and atmospheric, not bright, so it’s better suited to setting a mood in a room than lighting it fully.

Full specifications for both colourways are on the Marlboro Cigarette LED Lamp and Barbie Cigarette LED Lamp product pages if you want to check dimensions before ordering.

Yes, it’s one of the most popular placements for it. At 100cm tall, it works best positioned in a corner or next to a dressing table rather than dead centre of the room, where the pink glow reflects nicely off a mirror without becoming the only thing you see when you walk in.

It suits rooms that already lean into a pink or warm colour palette better than a strictly neutral, minimalist bedroom, where the colour can feel like it’s fighting the rest of the decor rather than complementing it. If your room is more muted, it can still work as a deliberate contrast piece, just be aware it will be the focal point rather than blending in.

One practical thing worth knowing, the glow is soft and warm rather than bright, so it’s genuinely a mood lighting piece and not a substitute for a reading lamp or overhead light. Most people pair it with their existing lighting rather than relying on it alone.

For a smaller-scale version of the same pink glow on a bedside table instead of the floor, the Custom Circle LED Table Lamp comes in sizes small enough for a nightstand.

Yes, it’s a genuine product, not an edited photo or a one-off prop someone built themselves. The Marlboro Cigarette LED Lamp is a 100cm tall LED floor lamp with an acrylic shade shaped and coloured to resemble an oversized cigarette, glowing warm orange and white. It runs on ordinary mains power, needs no assembly, and currently costs £149, reduced from £179.

People usually ask this after seeing it on TikTok or in someone’s bedroom photos and assuming it’s been photoshopped or custom made by whoever’s showing it off. It isn’t. It’s a stocked item that ships worldwide, with GBP, USD and EUR pricing shown at checkout, so anyone anywhere can order the exact same lamp they saw online.

It weighs about a kilo and stands on an 18cm diameter base, stable enough for a bedroom, a bar, or a gaming setup without needing to be fixed to anything. There’s no flame or smoke involved at any point, it’s simply an LED bulb inside a shaped acrylic shade, the same underlying technology as any household lamp.

If you want to see the exact dimensions and current price before buying, the full listing is on the Marlboro Cigarette LED Lamp product page.

Gaming setups and streaming corners are the most common spot, since the warm orange glow reads well on camera without washing out a face the way a bright ring light does. Home bars and man caves are the other obvious fit, especially alongside other Americana-styled pieces like neon signage or vintage bar carts.

For venues rather than homes, we’ve seen it used well near a bar entrance or in a moody, dark-wood cocktail bar where the retro aesthetic already fits the room. It works less well in bright, minimalist spaces where the warm orange glow can look slightly out of place against cool tones and pale furniture, that’s more a job for a cleaner branded lightbox instead.

Retro American diners and speakeasy-style venues are a strong match too, especially paired with other period-appropriate signage. If your venue leans into that whole jukebox, neon, Americana look, this slots straight into it rather than needing to be the only statement piece in the room.

If you want the same look in a colourway to suit a pink or lighter space instead, the Barbie Cigarette LED Lamp uses the identical shape and size in pink and white.
