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. The HAY HOST PORTABLE LED table lamp combines modern design with functional versatility. Made of high-quality aluminium and steel, it impresses with its robust workmanship and IP code 44, which also makes it suitable for use on patios or balconies. The integrated LED light source provides a pleasant warm white light (2,700 K), creating a cosy atmosphere. Thanks to the included dimmer, the light intensity can be individually adjusted, making the lamp suitable for both relaxed evenings in the living room and productive hours in the dining room or bedroom. The compact design and anthracite-coloured surface make the lamp a stylish and functional companion in any living area.
The HAY Host Portable Rechargeable Lamp is designed for users seeking versatile, minimalist lighting solutions for various spaces. Its key benefit is its cordless, portable design with magnetic and flat base options, offering flexibility in placement. A potential caveat is the limited battery life on higher brightness settings for the 300 model. This compact, understated lamp provides a gentle downward light, ideal for tables, shelves, and even outdoor use, with features like USB-C charging, adjustable brightness, and a sleep mode for transport.
