Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Tetris is one of the most popular games of all time, a deceptively simply yet completely addictive game in which players must fit falling blocks together. The Tetris Constructible Light is an interlocking light with 7 interlocking pieces. The neon magic-cube design is sure to bring fun and style to your desktop. The 7 interlocking tetromino pieces can be stacked in any combination. The light turns on when the pieces are stacked together, and it turns off when dissembled.

I pre-ordered this neat lamp because I have been a fan of TETRIS since before I could walk! This light is great, and is appropriately priced for what you get. The packaging was very protective, and the box arrived inside a shipping box which means the actual product box is pristine for gift-giving. Each piece is wrapped in a protective baggie.
The pieces are plastic with thin metal borders. I was under the impression the pieces had magnets and would "stick" together when they stacked - this is not the case. When you put the lamp together, in whatever shape you choose - do so on a level surface that will not be approached by pets or children. The pieces are not magnetic and do not stay together on their own, they just require a lot of gravity in the area they'll reside. (Alternatively, hold the "down" on the D-pad to keep the pieces connected.)
The blue block is the base. It will receive the power, so you must like blue since it will always be on whenever your lamp is. There is an on/off switch on the back of the blue brick so you needn't unplug it or hunt for a cord switch every time you want it off. All you need to do to turn the others on is touch them to the blue base when it is switched on and plugged in. The colors are pretty vibrant, but the light behind them is not a "general glow;" it has a focal point as most LED lamps tend to have. The lamp should not be used for task lighting, since it is not bright enough. It would make a decent ambient, mood light, or to have on while watching TV or playing TETRIS so you don't get a headache.
All in all, this is a great light! I bought another for myself so now my whole family can bask in the glow of old fashioned video games without actually playing.
Edit: I purchased this light when it was around 45 dollars, but since the review went live the price has changed. I would not buy this lamp for the current price of 80 dollars unless novelty lamps is your "thing" that you are super into. If I had spent that kind of money, I would be disappointed both in the fact that it can be found much cheaper elsewhere and that the construction doesn't live up to that price. Also, I have amended the educational rating of the lamp, since I had to explain conduction to someone who asked how it powers the other lights. I suppose... that oughta be filed under educational, too, oughtn't it?

I bought these for my desk at work and everyone loves to stop by and play with them. Our favorite variation is to play tetris-jenga in which we build these tall, precarious structures that just barely stay together. We don't get much work done anymore.

The plug does not fit into a standard (2- or 3-prong) American outlet. There is no adapter included.
They shipped it from Belgium.
It looks to be a cool product, so it's too bad it's not working. Bummer.
BTW, if you order: the box arrived rather battered. It doesn't appear to be damaged (can't check though...), though. But if you want to give this as a gift, reconsider. If you buy it for yourself, then the packaging isn't as important.
I will update this review if I hear back from the seller. I contacted them about the missing plug information, let's hope they respond.

Really Cool
This lamp is really cool but if you are buying it from the US, know that you need an adapter since the lamp is made in the UK.

Not worth the money
Very light weight so the pieces don't stack very nice and don't light up as easily as they should. Very frustrating for my son to play with.

Not a good purchase.
I have twins that wanted this for their birthday, so I purchased two. Pricy for what you get - poor quality, tricky to get it to work, slow shipping, but cool idea.

Great but, beware
My son loves the Tetris cube light but, buyer beware! Seller doesn't tell you it is a 110-220 volt with a 220 plug. You have to buy an $20 adapter! Overall very happy

Funky but not superior quality
The pieces are made of plastic and it can be tricky to line them up to get the lights to work at full brightness (the purple can be a bit dim if it's a shifted a bit). Read more

A bit pricey for the product!
The light itself is quite unique. Comes fully assembled. Just plug in the base and stack the other pieces as you like. A bit pricey for what you're getting.
