Cordless tableside light
The lamp that doesn't tether, so the late hours go where you want them
No cord, no compromise
A 2000 mAh rechargeable battery means it sits wherever the work happens: the writing desk, the credenza, the reading nook. Move it without thinking about an outlet.
One dome, every control
A single tap wakes it, a longer touch dims it, a third tap shifts the color. There is nothing on the cord and no side dial breaking the line.
A clean disc of light
The recessed LED ring sits flush beneath the shade and casts a tidy circle onto whatever lies below: a manuscript, a pour, a closing email.
3 finishes
Which one is yours
A swatch tells you the colour. This tells you the room it belongs in.
Candela in Gold
Warmth, in a deliberately small dose
Gold works on the light a room already has rather than adding any of its own. Keep it to one piece per surface and it reads considered. Put three on the same desk and it reads like a showroom.
Candela in Bronze
Aged warmth, with weight behind it
Bronze is the finish that looks like it has been in the room longer than you have. It suits a desk with some history to it and softens a space that has gone too far toward new and white.
Candela in Silver
Machined, not decorated
Silver belongs on a desk that is already laptop, glass and metal. It keeps company with the hardware instead of competing with it, which is why it is the safe answer for a setup you did not design so much as accumulate.

Questions
Good to know before you equip.
Is this really cordless, or does it need to stay plugged in?
It runs off a 2000 mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery and charges over DC, so it works untethered once charged. There is no switch on the cord and no side dial; you recharge it when needed and use it cord-free at the desk, credenza, or reading nook.
How do I turn it on and dim it?
Everything is a touch on the dome at the top. One tap wakes it, a longer touch dims it through a stepless range rather than fixed clicks, and a third tap shifts the color temperature. There are no buttons or dials on the cord or the side.
What are the three light tones for?
The three tones run from warm candlelight to neutral to a cooler reading white, so you can match the light to the moment, softer in the evening, whiter for focused reading. The warmth and the brightness are controlled separately, so you can dim any tone independently.
How big is it and will it crowd a small desk?
It measures 4.13 x 11.02 in (10.5 x 28 cm), so it is a slim tableside lamp with a turned-metal cone on a weighted base. The small footprint suits a writing desk, an office credenza, or a reading nook without dominating the surface.
What does each color finish actually look like?
There are three finishes, each on hand-finished iron. Gold is a brushed brass, Red is an antique bronze, and Silver is a polished chrome, so the color names map to a specific metal tone rather than a painted coat.
How is the light cast, and is it harsh?
A recessed LED ring sits flush beneath the shade and casts a clean disc of light straight down onto whatever is below, a page, a pour, a closing email. Because the ring is recessed you get the pool of light rather than a bare bulb in your eyeline.
How long does the battery last on a charge?
The lamp carries a 2000 mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery and recharges over DC, but the description does not state a runtime in hours. Expect that to vary with how bright you run it, since the stepless dimmer and lower tones draw less than full output.
