Humble Bug Cordless Smart Table Lamp

Humble’s largest cordless lamp: up to 90 hours per charge, IP65, and smart-home control over Zigbee 3.0.

The Humble Bug is the largest member of the family, with a wide dome shade and a soft presence. It switches between candle, ambiance and work modes, charges on a Qi pad or with the included USB-C cable in four to six hours, and is rated IP65. It also pairs with smart lighting over Zigbee 3.0 (Philips Hue, IKEA Trådfri, Tuya; a bridge is required), so you can control it by phone, voice, switch or motion sensor.

Who this is not for

• Anyone expecting app control without extra hardware: smart-home control needs a Zigbee bridge.
• Anyone wanting a cheaper look-alike: this is the original Humble.

Why we carry it

We’ve been curating design-led lighting since 2009. Humble designs its cordless lamps in Amsterdam for hospitality, with replaceable parts so they last. According to Humble, its lamps are used by hotels and restaurants including Four Seasons, Mandarin Oriental, Rosewood, The Savoy and the Cunard cruise line.

Buy once: durability and care

Wipe with a soft cloth dampened only with water while the lamp is off; don’t use cleaning solvents on the base, bulb or shade, and let it air dry thoroughly. The battery, LED and other parts are replaceable, according to Humble, so a worn part doesn’t mean a new lamp.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the Humble Bug run on one charge?

Up to 90 hours (Humble: 75–100 h on candle, 36–48 h ambient, 18–25 h work). The brighter the setting, the shorter the run time.

How do I charge the Humble Bug?

Set it on a Qi wireless charger, such as the Humble wireless chargers or the Charging Dock Six, or plug in the included USB-C cable. A full charge takes about 4–6 hours. The wall adapter isn’t included; Humble recommends a 5V 2A (10W) USB adapter.

Can the Humble Bug stay outside?

Yes. It is rated IP65, which protects it against rain, so it works on a terrace or a garden table. Charge it indoors and keep it out of standing water.

Is the Humble Bug bright enough to read by?

It is a mood light, not a reading lamp: about 81 lumens at 2500K, according to Humble. For desk work, pair it with a brighter lamp.

Does the Humble Bug work with Philips Hue?

Yes. It runs on Zigbee 3.0 and is compatible with Philips Hue, IKEA Trådfri and Tuya. You need a bridge for those systems (not included); without one, use the switch, the touch control or the RF remote.
