A Lamp that Moves when Being Closed
Question
I have a special Shabbos LED lamp. Is it permitted to move it when it is lit? It is simply impossible to cover it with its cover without its moving.
Answer
Shalom!
It is permitted to close the cover, and if the lamp moves by itself there is no prohibition.
