Pablo Bola Lantern Cordless Table Lamp, Rechargeable, Up to 400 Hours, Dim-to-Warm

A rechargeable lamp that moves with the evening: carry it from the dining table to the patio rail, then plug it in to recharge.

We curate the Bola Lantern for rooms and venues where an outlet is not where the light is needed. A built-in battery runs from 10 to 400 hours depending on brightness, the leather handle makes it easy to carry, and the opal glass globe gives a soft warm glow that dims from 2700K down to 1800K. Restaurants use portable lamps like this on tables, homes use them on shelves, nightstands and covered terraces, and a spare lamp can charge while another is in use.

• Covered patios (dry weather): carry it out for the evening, then bring it in

Installation & planning

• Plan one charger outlet per lamp for hospitality use, or rotate lamps through a charging station.
• IP20 means indoor, dry locations; bring it in before rain.
• Battery run time depends on brightness, from about 10 hours at full output to about 400 hours at the lowest.

Frequently asked questions

How long does one charge last?

Pablo lists 10 to 400 hours depending on brightness. At low settings it can run for days; at full output expect the shorter end of that range.

What do I need to charge it?

A 10 W power plug, which is not included. Charging takes about 6 hours and uses a 6 ft cord.

Can I leave it plugged in?

Pablo lists a 120-240 V input and a 6 ft charging cord, so it can be used while charging. Check the user guide for the manufacturer's charging recommendations.

Is it okay on a covered patio?

Only in dry weather. The IP20 rating is for indoor, dry use, so bring it inside when it is damp or raining.

How do I turn it on and dim it?

A mechanical push button controls power and brightness. The color warms from 2700K to 1800K as it dims.

Which disc and handle finishes combine?

We offer Chrome with Tan, Black with Black, Black with Tan, Brass with Black and Brass with Tan. The leather is vegetable-tanned in the Tan option, per Pablo.
