Eclaire Lite Lamp 30cm, Rechargeable LED, Grey Aluminium

For a room in concrete, steel and cool tones, where white stands out too much and bronze is out of place. Grey is the finish that disappears: on a stone top, on dark laminate, next to a steel ice bucket. In venues with the bar on show the same lamp moves from the tables to the spirits shelf, where a cable cannot be run.

It also serves hotels and caterers, who set up in a different place each time. An Eclaire Lite lamp goes in the crate with the linen and is put down where it is needed: the garden buffet, the wine table, the welcome desk.

At home the Eclaire Lite lamp is the light for the balcony table and the bookshelf. It goes where you sit.

From 7pm to 1am is six hours. The stated battery life, over 7 hours, covers dinner with an hour in hand. An event that starts with drinks at 6pm and ends at 2am lasts eight, and there the margin is gone: lower the brightness or plan a second round of charged lamps. The supplier does not say at which of the three levels the figure is measured. The test is done before the event, not during it.

Three brightness levels from the button

One press, one level. Three fixed levels give every table the same light without setting them by eye: whoever sets up puts them all on the same one and moves on.

No sockets and no cables

The cable between tables is the friction of every room: it shows, it gets trodden on, it decides where the tables go. The battery removes it. Move a table and the light goes with it. On the terrace, where there is no socket, the lamp is put down and switched on.

IP54: what it covers and what it does not

The IP54 rating has two digits and each says one thing. The 5 is about dust: some can get in, but not enough to stop the lamp. The 4 is about water: the lamp withstands splashes from any direction. At the table that means light rain arriving while the terrace is being cleared, a knocked-over glass, a damp cloth wiped over the body.

IP54 does not cover a water jet and does not cover immersion. The lamp is not hosed down with the terrace floor, does not stay out in a storm and does not go in the sink. At the end of the night it comes in with the tablecloths.

Charging after service

The USB cable is in the box. A wall adaptor is not listed in the stated contents: a USB socket or a multi-port charger is needed. At close the lamps come in and go on charge in the back of house. Charging time is not stated, so the first time leave them plugged in overnight.
