FAQs

What is the expected battery life of the Snowball lamp?

The battery life ranges from 8 to 12 hours on a single charge, depending on the selected brightness setting. Lower brightness levels will extend the battery life.

How long does it take to fully charge the lamp?

The lamp takes approximately 5 hours to fully recharge from a depleted state using the supplied USB charging cable.

Can I use the lamp while it is charging?

Yes, you can use the lamp while it is charging. The charging indicator will show its status.

Is this lamp suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the Snowball lamp has an IP44 rating, making it suitable for use on patios or balconies where it may be exposed to light splashes. However, it is not designed for heavy rain or extreme weather conditions.

How do I adjust the brightness?

The brightness can be adjusted using the touch-sensitive dimmer located on the lamp. Simply touch the control to cycle through the 3-step dimming levels (30%, 60%, 100%).

What type of light source does it use?

The lamp uses a built-in, replaceable LED light source.

What are the dimensions of the lamp?

The lamp measures H 122 cm. The base has a diameter of Ø 15 cm, and the glass sphere has a diameter of Ø 7 cm.

Troubleshooting

Lamp does not turn on

Ensure the lamp is fully charged. Check the charging indicator light. If it's not charging, try a different USB cable or power adapter. Ensure the touch sensor is clean.

Lamp is not charging

Verify the USB cable is securely connected to both the lamp and the power source. Try a different USB power adapter or USB port. Ensure the charging port on the lamp is free of debris.

Dimming function not working

Ensure the lamp has sufficient battery charge. Try turning the lamp off and on again. If the issue persists, perform a full recharge.

Reduced battery life

Battery life is directly related to brightness. Using the lamp at 100% brightness will result in shorter runtime. Ensure the lamp is fully charged before each use. Over time, battery capacity may naturally decrease.

Uneven light distribution

Ensure the glass sphere is clean and free from smudges. Check that the LED source inside is properly seated (if accessible and safe to do so, otherwise contact support).

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers complete freedom of placement due to its cordless design.
  • Provides a soft, ambient light that enhances any space.
  • Versatile for both indoor and outdoor use with its IP44 rating.
  • Adjustable brightness settings to match different atmospheres.
  • Modern, minimalist aesthetic complements various decor styles.

Cons

  • Battery life is dependent on the selected brightness level.
  • Requires manual recharging, unlike plugged-in lamps.
  • The light sphere, while beautiful, may be susceptible to damage if dropped.
  • Recharge time can be significant if the battery is fully depleted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack the lamp carefully, ensuring all components are present.
  2. Connect the supplied USB charging cable to the lamp's charging port.
  3. Plug the other end of the USB cable into a compatible USB power adapter or port.
  4. The charging indicator light will turn red during charging and green when fully charged.
  5. Once fully charged, disconnect the cable. The lamp is now ready for use.

Compatibility:

  • The lamp uses a standard USB Type-C port for charging. You can use most standard USB power adapters (5V output recommended) or computer USB ports for recharging.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Shade: Gently wipe the mouth-blown glass sphere with a soft, dry, or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
  • Cleaning the Frame: Wipe the steel frame with a soft cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying.
  • Battery Care: For optimal battery longevity, avoid exposing the lamp to extreme temperatures. If storing for an extended period, ensure the battery has some charge (around 50%).
  • Protection: While IP44 rated for splash resistance, avoid prolonged exposure to direct rain or harsh weather conditions. Store indoors when not in use for extended periods or during adverse weather.
