A Lamp that Moves when Being Closed

Muktzeh

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.
