"Not that impressive"
Have YOU tried perfectly balancing magnets to the point you achieve pure magnetic levitation? Just balancing the magnets is hard enough, let alone forming it into a consumer product, let alone having it be so stable it can support the variable weight from placing objects or hands on top of the bulb.
This mechanism behind it is simple, but the execution is very much not.
Honestly the only unimpressive part is how inefficient it would be for a light bulb due to losses from the wireless power coil. Assuming it uses one and isn't battery powered, which would also be a downside.
@aphelion The LED bulbs are powered by induction and I believe the levitation is a product of both permanent and electromagnets, since a selling point is that during a power failure the light bulb component will jump up and stick to the main lamp to prevent breaking the bulb.

Though they were different strengths so :/
