Rechargeable cordless lamps

Cordless lamps run on a rechargeable battery, with no cable and no need for a socket: they move freely from room to room, from the bedside to the dining table, from the terrace to the garden. They charge via USB, with a runtime ranging from 5 to 48 hours depending on the model and the brightness setting. At AGOF Store you'll find original designer models from the leading names in lighting, each covered by the manufacturer's official warranty. We are an authorised retailer for every brand in our catalogue.

How to choose a cordless lamp

Runtime and charging

This is the parameter that makes the difference in everyday use. Quality models offer between 8 and 48 hours on a single charge, depending on the brightness setting. Charging is almost always via USB or USB-C; some models include a dedicated charging base. Check the stated runtime in each product's technical sheet.

Indoor or outdoor use

For use on a terrace, in the garden or by the pool, you need a model with an IP rating suited to moisture and the elements. For indoor use only, this isn't necessary. The IP value is listed in the technical sheet.

Dimmer and colour temperature

Almost all cordless models include a dimmer to adjust the brightness, often across several levels. For the home, warm white light (2700–3000 K) is preferred, creating atmosphere on the table or bedside.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the battery of a cordless lamp last?

It depends on the model and the brightness setting: design models generally offer between 8 and 48 hours on a single charge. The Bellhop by Flos, for example, is rated for up to 24 hours. The exact runtime is listed in each product's technical sheet.

How do you charge a cordless lamp?

Almost all models charge via a USB or USB-C cable, included in the box. Some have a dedicated charging base to rest the lamp on. A full charge generally takes a few hours and covers an entire evening of use.

Can cordless lamps be used outdoors?

Only models with a suitable IP rating. For terraces, gardens and poolsides you need an IP rating that protects against moisture and rain; for indoor use only it isn't necessary. Always check the IP value in the technical sheet before buying.

Are cordless lamps suitable for the bedside?

Yes, they are one of the most practical solutions when there's no convenient socket next to the bed. Compact models like the Bellhop by Flos combine the freedom of cordless use with a design suited to the bedroom.
