Its slim profile takes up very little space, while the downward-facing light gently illuminates the surface below, making it suitable for tables, shelves and shared settings. An integrated magnet in the base allows the lamp to attach directly to metal surfaces, while a flat steel base is included for use on non-magnetic materials such as wood or ceramic. Lightweight and cordless, the lamp is rechargeable via USB C and can be easily moved between spaces. Sleep Mode can be activated for safe transport or when the lamp is not in use for extended periods. Host Portable 220 provides a minimum of 8 hours of light per charge, while Host Portable 300 offers a minimum of 16 hours before recharging is required. Available in a range of heights and colours, the lamp works well on its own or grouped together, and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use in private homes and office environments. This LED rechargeable table lamp combines modern design with high functionality. Made of aluminium and steel, it impresses with its robust workmanship and IP code 44, which also makes it suitable for outdoor use on patios or balconies. The integrated LED light source provides energy-saving, warm white light with 2,700 K, creating a pleasant atmosphere. Thanks to the included dimmer, the light intensity can be flexibly adjusted, making the lamp suitable for cosy evenings in the living room as well as productive hours in the dining room or bedroom. The olive green colour adds stylish accents and blends harmoniously into modern living concepts.
The HAY Host Portable Rechargeable Lamp is designed for individuals seeking a versatile, understated lighting solution for various indoor and outdoor settings. Its key benefit is the combination of cordless portability and adjustable warm white light, enhancing atmosphere and functionality without dominating your space. A potential caveat is the battery life, which varies by model (8-16 hours), requiring mindful recharging. This compact lamp features a slim profile, downward-facing illumination, a magnetic base, and an included steel base for versatile placement. It's rechargeable via USB-C, offers a dimmer for adjustable light intensity, and includes a 'Sleep Mode' for safe transport or extended storage.
