Rechargeable LED Lamp Eclaire Lite 30cm, Warm Light, Bronze Aluminium

For venues that work with wood, iron and low light: wine bars, cocktail bars, bistros. Bronze does not stand out on a dark table, and the warm light keeps the tone of the room. A cold light on a walnut table changes the colour of the red wine in the glass and of the food on the plate, and the guest notices even without being able to say why.

It also suits venues with high tables and drinks ledges where no cable can run. Thirty centimetres sits below the eye line of someone standing with a glass in hand, so the lamp lights the surface without glare.

At home the rechargeable LED lamp is the light for the bar corner of the living room or for the side table on the terrace. Switch it on when the guests arrive and recharge it the next day.

Outdoors there is no socket, and an extension lead across the pavement is a hazard for passers-by and for the staff. A rechargeable LED lamp is simply put down. When the terrace grows at the weekend, tables and lamps are added together, without calling an electrician. At the end of the season the lamps come inside and do the same job indoors.

Over seven hours on one charge

A service from 7pm to 1am runs for six hours: the stated battery life, over 7 hours, covers it with an hour in hand. For a double shift, recharge in the afternoon. The supplier does not say at which of the three levels the figure is measured, and at the highest the charge lasts less. The real sum is done in the room, on one evening, at the light that will be used.

Three brightness levels from the button

Each press changes level. With three fixed levels the room is set by word of mouth: “all on the second” is an instruction that whoever lays up can follow without comparing tables by eye.

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 each rechargeable LED lamp comes in with the table settings and is plugged in in the back of house. Charging time is not stated.
