"Mood lighting is always in high demand - and when the internet finds it, social media is quick to blow it up for everyone to obsess over. That's the case with this now-viral HomeGoods lamp, where one shopper just stumbled upon the "mother lode" of mood lighting. It's a vintage-esque lamp that resembles other centuries-old styles, and although she found the last one at her HomeGoods location, you can snag a similar one online."
"The banker's lamp dates back to the early 20th century, and as the name suggests, was primarily used in banks at the height of its fame. The original lamp design was actually dubbed the "Emeralite " because its shade was most commonly emerald green. Green was a favorite among financial institutions because, when turned on, the light emitted was a warm, soothing hue that was thought to promote concentration and focus."
"In the comments section of Herde's post, one TikTok user shared that they found an Emeralite look-alike on Amazon. Although this one looks like a classic vintage piece, it comes with a touch-activated base and two charging ports for your electronics. It's a bit more expensive than the HomeGoods version, but with its modern features embedded, a $60 price tag still feels like a steal."
A HomeGoods shopper discovered a vintage-style banker's lamp on clearance for $32, described as the 'mother lode' of mood lighting. The lamp resembles early 20th-century Emeralite designs and features a deep burgundy shade rather than the classic emerald green. The banker's lamp was traditionally used in banks because its shaded light produced a warm, soothing glow believed to aid concentration. Emeralite lamps were produced in various colors. An online look-alike on Amazon offers modern updates including a touch-activated base and two charging ports, priced around $60, making it pricier than the clearance find but still affordable for the added features.
