Flame 1 Light Large Outdoor Table Lamp - Opal White

The Flame is a 550mm outdoor table lamp moulded from high-grade polyethylene into a curved flame-shaped silhouette, finished in opal white. The single E27 bulb fitting (sold separately) sits inside the hollow form, casting diffused light through the translucent white material. The lamp carries an IP65 rating, making it weatherproof for outdoor use on patios, terraces and garden tables exposed to rain and dust.

Designed for both outdoor and indoor placement, the Flame suits terrace dining tables, poolside lounging areas, covered patios and large interior console tables where sculptural accent lighting is wanted. The 550mm height provides presence on a table without blocking sightlines across a dining surface. The epoxy-coated metal base gives stability on outdoor furniture and adds weight to prevent tipping in moderate winds. Power is supplied via a mains cable, so placement requires proximity to an outdoor socket or extension lead rated for outdoor use.

The opal white polyethylene diffuses the bulb's light evenly across the entire form, turning the lamp itself into the light source rather than projecting a beam. This creates ambient rather than task lighting, suitable for evening outdoor entertaining where mood matters more than working light. The polyethylene construction resists UV degradation, impact damage and temperature swings between summer heat and winter cold. At 1.1kg the lamp is light enough to be repositioned between outdoor zones but heavy enough to remain stable on a table.

Bulb choice controls light temperature and output. A warm-white LED E27 bulb at 2700K-3000K and 6-9W suits outdoor evening use, while a brighter daylight bulb at 4000K-5000K provides crisper light for reading outdoors. The lamp accepts dimmable bulbs when paired with a compatible dimmer switch on the mains circuit, allowing light intensity to be adjusted as daylight fades.

What does the IP65 rating mean for outdoor use?

IP65 confirms the lamp is dust-tight and protected against water jets from any direction. This makes it suitable for uncovered outdoor tables exposed to rain, though it should not be submerged in water. The polyethylene body and sealed E27 fitting protect the internal wiring from moisture ingress.

Does it come with a bulb?

No. The lamp takes a standard E27 bulb up to the wattage specified (check product packaging). Most users pair this with a 6-9W warm-white LED bulb for outdoor evening use.

Is it portable or does it need to be plugged in?

This version is mains-powered via a cable and requires connection to an outdoor socket. A separate battery-powered induction version of the Flame is available for cable-free portability, which is a different model.

Can the lamp be left outside year-round?

The polyethylene construction and IP65 rating allow the lamp to remain outdoors through rain and temperature variation. UV-resistant materials prevent fading and brittleness. However, storing the lamp indoors during winter extends its lifespan and keeps the white finish cleaner in areas with heavy pollution or algae growth.
