The LED sits under that saucer, so the light falls onto the table and not into the eyes of the people sitting around it. Below the saucer a slim stem, knurled over its lower half so it can be picked up with one hand, drops into a short stacked base that holds the battery. The whole lamp stands 27.9 cm high on a base only 9 cm across. There is no cord, no mains plug and no bulb to fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEverything is set on the lamp itself. A short press on the raised button steps through three colour temperatures, from warm 2700K through neutral to cool 6000K, and a long press dims the light steplessly from a full reading glow down to a candle. The 4000 mAh battery charges through the USB-C port in the side of the base and the manufacturer rates it at 8 to 30 hours of light per charge, depending on how bright it is run. The manufacturer also rates the body IP54, so it can be carried out to a covered terrace or a balcony table for the evening. Two finishes are stocked: electroplated warm gold and matte black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompletely cordless:\u003c\/strong\u003e a built-in 4000 mAh rechargeable battery rated by the manufacturer at 8 to 30 hours per charge, so the lamp needs no power point, no cord and no mains plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRated IP54 by the manufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e protected against dust and splashing water, which is what lets the same lamp move from a dining table to a covered terrace or a balcony\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree colour temperatures and stepless dimming:\u003c\/strong\u003e a short press on the raised button steps through 2700K warm, neutral and 6000K cool light; a long press takes the brightness anywhere between full and a candle glow\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRa 97 or higher:\u003c\/strong\u003e the manufacturer rates the LED at a colour rendering index of 97 or above, so skin, food and timber keep their real colour under it\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMachined metal, not plastic:\u003c\/strong\u003e an aluminium saucer, stem and base, the gold electroplated and the black a matte coating, with a knurled anti-slip grip on the stem and an anti-slip pad under the base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSizes and options\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne size: 27.9 cm high, with a saucer shade 12.7 cm across and a round base 9 cm across. \u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold or Black.

Charge the lamp through the USB-C port in the side of the base from any standard 5 V USB charger, laptop port or power bank, stand it on a flat surface and press the raised button in the centre of the saucer. A short press steps through the three colour temperatures; holding the button down dims the light. Because the lamp runs from a USB port and has no mains plug, there is nothing to adapt for Australian power points and no electrician is involved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe the metal with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid solvents, polishes and abrasive cleaners, which dull an electroplated and a coated finish alike. Keep the USB-C port dry and free of dust, and wipe the base dry before charging if the lamp has been outside. Keep the lamp away from heat sources and recharge the battery every few months even when the lamp is not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eQuick answers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow big is the Saucer Shade Aluminium Cordless Outdoor Table Lamp?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt stands 27.9 cm high, which is a little shorter than a 750 ml wine bottle, on a round base 9 cm across. The saucer shade is 12.7 cm across, so it takes up less than half the width of a dinner plate and almost no room on a laid table. The manufacturer quotes the three figures in inches, as 11 in high with a 5 in shade and a 3.55 in base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it come with a plug or a charger?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no mains plug at all, and that is the point. The lamp charges at 5 V through the USB-C port in the side of the base, from any phone charger, laptop port or power bank, so nothing has to be adapted for Australian power points. The manufacturer quotes 4 to 5 hours for a full charge and 8 to 30 hours of light from it, depending on the brightness. It does not say what is packed in the box, so a USB-C cable already in the house is worth having to hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do the three colour temperatures and the dimming work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are set on the lamp, not chosen when ordering. A short press on the raised button in the centre of the saucer steps through warm, natural and white light, quoted by the manufacturer as a 2700K to 6000K range. Holding the same button down dims the light steplessly, so the brightness can be set anywhere between full output and a candle glow rather than in fixed steps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it really be used outside?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder cover, yes. The manufacturer rates the body IP54, which means it is protected against dust and against splashing water from any direction, so a covered terrace, a balcony table or a veranda in ordinary weather is within what it is built for. IP54 is not a rating for immersion or for standing out in heavy rain, so the lamp should not be left in a downpour, hosed down or placed where it can fall into water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it bright enough to read by?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is an atmosphere light first. The LED draws 3 W and the saucer spreads it downwards over the surface, which lights a place setting, a bedside table or a bench without lighting the room, and at full brightness it is enough for a page close to the lamp. The manufacturer publishes no lumen figure. For long reading sessions a dedicated reading lamp is the better tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy do so many of these turn up in pairs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the lamp lights the surface it stands on rather than the room, and a long table, a wide console or a pair of bedside tables needs more than one pool of light to read as finished. Two of them 1.5 to 2 metres apart cover a six-seat dining table; one at each end suits a hallway console; one on each side suits a bed. Both finishes are the same size, so a gold and a black one can be run together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"LumePorch","offers":[{"title":"Gold","offer_id":68078877114688,"sku":"LP-TBL090-GD","price":169.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":68078877147456,"sku":"LP-TBL090-BK","price":169.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/6252\/7808\/files\/saucer-shade-aluminium-cordless-outdoor-table-lamp-01.jpg?v=1794322497","url":"https:\/\/lumeporch.com\/products\/saucer-shade-aluminium-cordless-outdoor-table-lamp","provider":"LumePorch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
