Description
This solar LED table lamp is a lantern shape in black and gold: a rounded, bulb-like body of twisted black steel strips with a gold inner surface that shows through every gap. It stands 27cm tall and 17cm in diameter, so it sits comfortably on a garden table without crowding it, and it weighs just 0.45KG. The light is an integrated LED in a warm white of 3000K, and the solar panel sits in the black cap on top. It is rated IP44, which means it is protected from splashing water, so it can live outdoors on a patio, a balcony or in the garden.
Because it needs no mains supply, you can put it wherever you want a soft glow after dark: an outdoor dining table, the edge of a deck, beside a garden bench or at the top of the steps. The rope handle makes it easy to carry from one spot to the next, and it can hang from a sturdy branch or hook as readily as it stands on a flat surface. After sunset the light glows through the gaps between the twisted strips, picking up the gold lining, and it suits anyone who likes to linger outside on a summer evening.
The body is steel, a strong, rigid metal, finished in black on the outside and gold on the inside. The panel charges the lamp from daylight, and as a general guide it does best in an open, sunny spot rather than in deep shade. It runs on one AA NiMH battery of 200mAh at 1.2V, and an on/off switch lets you choose when it shines. On a practical note, keep the panel clear of leaves and dust, since anything lying on it cuts the daylight it needs.
