Pros and cons

What we like

  • Instantly recognizable Pac-Man and ghost shapes
  • Works as a collectable figure and a light in one
  • Sits on a shelf or desk as decor
  • Retro arcade look suits a game room

What may bother

  • A decorative glow, not a task light for reading
  • Strongly themed, so it fits a game room or fan's desk better than a neutral room

Our verdict

84 / 100

Retro arcade fans will recognize it instantly and likely give it a spot on the desk. Think decor, not utility: it will not light a workspace. Skip it for a recipient who prefers understated decor or never played the classics.

Best forRetro arcade gaming fans
Best occasionBirthday, Christmas
Avoid ifSkip it if the recipient wants a lamp bright enough to work by, or has no interest in retro games.

How we score

The CTG score out of 100 is the weighted average of five criteria rated for every product: proven reliability (36%), perceived value (18%), bond and memory (18%), originality (14%) and novelty (14%). Each criterion has its own published scale, identical for every product: it rates generously, because every product in our selection is already good. The score does not depend on the guide. 60 to 69: average gift. 70 to 77: good pick. 78 to 85: safe bet. 86 to 89: favorite. 90 and above: the perfect gift, a label reserved for excellent products that customers like, one winner per occasion. In a guide, the score for the recipient combines this score with the place in the ranking. The budget is an indicative range: the exact price is shown by the store at checkout.
