This special edition of the Staff of the Wizard Gandalf features an illuminated crown that glows just like the one wielded by Sir Ian McKellen in the motion picture The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaugª. Cradled by the crown's spindly, twisting faux-wood skeleton, a high intensity LED gleams brilliantly from behind a striking translucent lattice. Broken by the asymmetrical framework of the lattice, the vivid white light scatters into beaming, multidirectional rays - glinting and sparkling as the staff is turned. The light reciprocates by bathing the crystalline lattice in a warm golden glow. Activated by a hidden button, the 100-lumen LED boasts a 50,000-hour lifespan and shines for an impressive 20 hours on just a pair of AA batteries (not included).
