Becrux Crystal Cordless Table Lamp

It charges through USB using the 100cm (39.4") cable and the matching plug that come with it. The charger works on 110 to 240V, so with a suitable plug adapter it can be used in most countries. Give it a full charge before the first use. Once it's charged, it's cordless, so you can move it from the dinner table to a nightstand to a shelf without thinking about outlets. It turns on and off with a touch control, so there's no switch on a cord to find.

It's listed for indoor use, so we can't promise it will cope with rain or damp. A covered terrace or a dry, sheltered table on a calm evening is a reasonable place for it. Bring it inside if rain is expected, and don't leave it out overnight in humid weather. The base and top include wood, which doesn't like standing water or heavy moisture. If you need a light for fully exposed outdoor spaces, choose one that has a proper waterproof rating.

It gives a warm, gentle light at 3000K, similar to a soft household bulb. The LED is built in, so there's no bulb to replace. The cut pattern on the glass catches and scatters the light, so the lamp looks like a small decorative piece even when it's on. It creates a soft glow on a table or shelf and suits dinners, a nightstand, or a quiet corner. It's an ambient light, so for reading in depth or detailed work, add a stronger task lamp.

It's glass, so treat it as you would a vase. Pick it up with a hand around the body or support it from underneath rather than lifting it by the top. Set it down on a flat, stable surface, away from the edge of a table and out of the way of elbows and sleeves. If you have small children or pets, a high shelf or a protected corner is the safer place for it. For travel, wrap it well and keep it upright.

There are three finishes: walnut color, wood color, and clear. Walnut is deeper and richer and suits darker or more traditional rooms. The lighter wood color works with Scandinavian and natural interiors, and it pairs nicely with light furniture. The lamp is 15cm (5.9") across and 29cm (11.4") tall, so it's small enough for a dinner table, a nightstand, or a shelf. Compare the finish photos on the product page against your furniture before you decide.

Switch the lamp off first. Wipe the glass with a soft, dry microfiber cloth, or a slightly damp one for fingerprints, then buff it dry. For the wooden top, use a dry cloth and avoid sprays or wet cloths, which can mark the finish. Keep water away from the top and the charging area, and don't put it in water. Store it in a dry place if you won't use it for a while.
