Flextail says:
VILLA LANTERN, also known as the City of Light, was inspired by old televisions. Composed of 64 parts, the housing is fully CNC machined metal. Combined with a minimalist and contemporary design, VILLA LANTERN is a unique retro lantern on the market.By turning the knob on the right, you can easily switch from bright lights for working outdoors at night to soft lights that create a calming atmosphere. On the other hand, by turning the knob on the left, you can choose between white and warm light depending on the scene and mood. The reason we use knobs instead of buttons to adjust brightness and color temperature is because we want you to light up your favorite lights nostalgicly and intuitively.
