Pablo Designs Bola Lantern – Rechargeable LED Table Lamp, Leather Handle

Bola Lantern takes the Bola Sphere Table 8 and makes it portable: a rechargeable battery, a premium leather handle, an 8" opal glass globe and a mirrored disc base. Battery life runs from 10 to 400 hours depending on brightness, and the LED warm-dims from 2700K to 1800K. Winner of the 2022 European Product Design Award.

Specifications

Features

Room fit: where it works best

• Dining tables: a cord-free centerpiece that can move from the table to the terrace for dinner.
• Bedside and reading nooks: soft, low light without running a cord.
• Hospitality: restaurant and hotel tables where outlets are scarce.
• Brightness: 280 lumens, an ambient glow like a 25 W bulb rather than task light.

Placement guidance is our general design rule of thumb, not a Pablo specification.

Who this is not for

• Not a task or reading light: 280 lumens is ambient.
• Not waterproof: Pablo lists it as IP20, so bring it inside and keep it out of rain.
• Not the same as the plug-in Bola Sphere Table, which is brighter (800 lumens).

Why we carry it

Bola is one of the collections that made us fall for Pablo. We've been curating modern lighting since 2009, and Bola earns its place because the idea is so simple: an opal glass globe paired with mirror-polished metal, so the fixture seems to float and picks up the colors of the room around it. The integrated LED is 95 CRI and warm-dims like candlelight, which is rare at this price, and the family is broad enough to carry one look from the entry to the dining table to the bedside.

Buy once: longevity and care

• Leather that ages well: the vegetable-tanned handle develops a patina with use.
• Care: dust the globe and metal with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Mirror-polished finishes show fingerprints, so handle them with gloves or a cloth; avoid abrasive or ammonia cleaners.
• Warranty: 1-year Pablo Designs product warranty.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the battery last?

Pablo rates it at 10 to 400 hours per charge, depending on how bright you run it.

How do I charge it?

With the included USB charging cable.

Can I use it outside?

On a terrace or patio for an evening, yes, but Pablo lists it as IP20, so do not leave it out in rain or damp.

What does "warm dim" mean?

The light starts at 2700K warm white at full brightness and shifts toward a candle-like 1800K as you dim it, the way an incandescent bulb does.
