Base

The base, made of red plastic, is the ring around the push lens on the multi LED table top light.  The base holds the push lens in place.  The base, made of a single piece of plastic, stabilizes the multi LED table top light.

 

Push Lens

The push lens, a white piece of convex semi transparent plastic, illuminates the area when hand pressure activates the push lens.  When hand pressure activates the push lens, different colors of LED lights also illuminate in various patterns to dazzle and amaze.
