Cool 2 Light Outdoor Table Lamp - Opal White IP65

The Cool is a 540mm outdoor table lamp made from opal white polyethylene with a white epoxy-coated metal base, housing two E27 bulbs that light both the upper mushroom-shaped shade and the lower stem. The IP65 rating seals the lamp against rain and dust, allowing it to sit outdoors year-round on patios, terraces, balconies and poolside tables without needing to be brought under cover.

Designed for ambient rather than task lighting, the Cool casts a 360° glow through the translucent polyethylene body, turning the entire lamp into a soft diffuser. The dual bulbs create a balanced spread of light from top and bottom, avoiding the single-point glare typical of overhead garden lights. The 380mm diameter footprint is stable on outdoor dining tables, low walls and planter edges without tipping in moderate wind. The lamp is also dimmable when paired with appropriate E27 dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer, allowing brightness to be adjusted for early evening dining or late-night ambience.

The opal white polyethylene shell is UV-stable and resistant to fading, cracking and discolouration from prolonged sun exposure. The smooth matte finish hides fingerprints and smudges better than gloss surfaces, making it practical for outdoor use where hands frequently move furniture and lamps around. The white epoxy coating on the metal base prevents corrosion in coastal and high-humidity environments. At 3.2kg, the lamp is light enough to be repositioned easily but heavy enough not to blow over in typical garden conditions.

What does the IP65 rating mean?

IP65 means the lamp is fully sealed against dust and protected against water jets from any direction. It can sit outdoors in rain, but should not be submerged in water or positioned where water pools around the base.

What bulbs does it take?

The lamp takes two standard E27 (Edison screw) bulbs, sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED bulbs at 2700K-3000K and 6-10W each for ambient outdoor lighting. The lamp is dimmable if you use dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer.

Can it stay outside all year?

Yes. The IP65 rating, UV-stable polyethylene body and epoxy-coated metal base allow it to remain outdoors year-round in typical UK weather. In extreme conditions (heavy snow, prolonged freezing) bringing it under cover extends the lifespan, but it is not required.

How is it cleaned?

Wipe the polyethylene surface with a damp microfibre cloth and mild detergent if needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the matte finish. The smooth surface sheds most dirt and pollen naturally with rain.
