Estalacta 2 Light Outdoor Table Lamp - Silver/Opal White

The Estalacta is a 660mm outdoor table lamp built around two opal white polyethylene tubes of different heights (660mm and 510mm) rising from a circular silver-finished base. Each tube houses a GU10 bulb fitting at its base, with light travelling up through the translucent white material to produce soft ambient illumination. The IP44 rating allows the lamp to sit on outdoor tables, terraces, poolside surfaces and covered patios where it will encounter rain and splashing.

Designed for outdoor evening use rather than task lighting, the Estalacta provides low-level ambient light to define outdoor dining areas, side tables on a terrace, or decorative accents along a pathway edge. The two tubes of staggered height create visual interest without symmetry, and the opal white material diffuses the upward light evenly to avoid harsh pooling or glare. The silver base sits flat on any level surface and provides ballast for the 2kg overall weight.

The white polyethylene construction resists UV degradation and temperature cycling better than glass or acrylic, and the IP44 rating means both the electrical components and the lamp body can handle outdoor British weather from April through October. The GU10 fittings accept any standard GU10 LED or halogen bulb up to the maximum wattage stated in the specification (bulbs sold separately), and dimmable GU10 LEDs allow brightness control when paired with a compatible outdoor dimmer system.

What does the IP44 rating mean for outdoor use?

IP44 means the lamp is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and water splashing from any direction. It can handle rain, poolside splashing and damp conditions, but should not be submerged or left in standing water. For British outdoor use it is suitable on covered and open terraces, patios and balconies.

What bulbs does it take?

The Estalacta takes two GU10 bulbs (sold separately). Most users pair it with warm-white GU10 LEDs between 3W-5W and 2700K-3000K for ambient outdoor lighting. Maximum wattage depends on the specification. Check the table above before fitting higher-output bulbs.

Can it be left outdoors year-round?

The polyethylene construction and IP44 rating allow the lamp to sit outdoors during the main use season (April-October in the UK). For winter storage, bringing it indoors or into a garage extends the lifespan of the electrical components and reduces UV exposure during the off-season.

Is the lamp dimmable?

Yes, but only when paired with dimmable GU10 bulbs and a compatible dimmer. The lamp itself has no onboard dimming. Dimmer control must come from the circuit or a plug-in dimmer module if the lamp is plugged into a socket rather than hard-wired.
