Huevo Ball 1 Light Small Outdoor Table Lamp - Opal White

The Huevo Ball is a 350mm opal white polyethylene sphere designed as an outdoor table lamp, taking a single E27 bulb (sold separately). The sphere sits directly on flat surfaces without a separate base, functioning as both light fitting and diffuser. The polyethylene construction is rated IP65, protecting the internal lampholder from water jets and dust ingress for year-round outdoor placement.

Designed for patios, garden tables, decking edges and pathway lighting, the 350mm diameter gives the sphere enough presence to sit on its own or in multiples along a larger outdoor dining table or terrace edge. The opal white finish diffuses the light output evenly across the entire sphere surface, creating ambient rather than directional light. The smooth polyethylene shell resists UV degradation and temperature variation better than glass equivalents, making it suitable for exposed outdoor positions.

The E27 lampholder accepts any standard E27 LED, halogen or filament bulb up to the maximum wattage specified (refer to the Specification table). Most users pair the Huevo Ball with a warm-white LED between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K to create soft ambient light without glare. The sphere weighs 1.6kg when empty, giving it stability on flat surfaces in moderate wind without needing to be anchored. Dimmable bulbs can be used with a compatible dimmer to adjust light levels for different times of evening.

What does the IP65 rating mean for outdoor use?

IP65 means the lamp is dust-tight and protected against water jets from any direction. This makes the Huevo Ball suitable for year-round outdoor placement including exposed patios, decking and garden tables. It can handle rain and spray from hosepipes but should not be submerged in water.

What bulb should I use?

The lamp takes a standard E27 bulb (sold separately). Most users choose a warm-white LED between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for soft ambient outdoor lighting. The opal polyethylene diffuses the light evenly, so filament-style decorative bulbs are not necessary unless preferred.

Can it be left outside all year?

Yes. The polyethylene construction resists UV degradation and temperature variation. However, if the lamp will be unused for extended winter periods, bringing it under cover or into a shed will extend the material lifespan and keep the fitting cleaner.

Is it stable in wind?

The 1.6kg weight gives the sphere stability on flat surfaces in moderate wind conditions. On exposed decking or balconies subject to strong gusts, the sphere may benefit from being placed against a low wall or within a table recess to prevent rolling.
