Description
Mini Stepp is a table lamp in terracotta. A wide shallow terracotta disc carried on a terracotta conical hub, with a slim stem running down to a low round base in the same colour. Brass shows in two places only: a small crown of brass fins at the very top of the hub, visible above the disc, and a turned brass collar where the stem meets the base. The disc is flat and broad and shields the lamp completely from above, so what reaches the room is bounced off it. The terracotta is a warm earthy orange, matt and even over every part. The lamp is small and low and sits on a table like a parasol. It measures 23cm tall, in metal.
It is a lamp to carry: a side table indoors, then a garden table, a balcony rail or a step by the back door once the evening is warm enough to sit out. Rated IP44, it will take rain and splashing while it is out there, though it is meant to come back in rather than be left through the winter. Running off its own battery is what makes that possible: there is no flex to find a socket for and nothing to trip over on a terrace.
The LED is built in at 1.8W, so there is no bulb to buy and none to fit. It has 3 brightness settings, changed by switching off at the wall and straight back on, so no dimmer is needed. It carries an F energy label. It runs on a 1600mAh battery and charges in about 3-4 hours, so it can be carried from room to room.

Frequently Asked
Do I need to buy a bulb?
No. The LED is built into the fitting, so there is nothing to buy and nothing to fit.
What happens when the LED fails?
The fitting is replaced rather than relamped. At 1.8W and normal domestic use that is many years away.
How do I change the brightness?
Switch off at the wall and straight back on. Each flick moves it to the next setting. No dimmer is needed.
Will it work on a dimmer?
It does not need one, and it should not be fitted to one. Brightness is controlled from the wall switch instead.
Can it be used outside?
Yes, in a sheltered spot. It is rated IP44, so it will take rain and splashing water, and it is meant to be carried out and brought back in rather than left out through the winter.
