An oil lamp, minus the oil
The old silhouette, a 2000mAh battery, and 36 hours of light between charges.
The battery
A built-in 2000mAh lithium cell runs 36 hours on low and 12 on high. Charge it over Type-C for 4 hours and it is done asking for anything.
The touch
Tap the metal body and the light steps through three brightness levels. No switch to find in the dark, no dial to knock over.
The ring
The finger ring on the base is not decoration. Hook a finger through it and carry the lamp from the dinner table to the tent to the nightstand.
4 finishes
Which one is yours
A swatch tells you the colour. This tells you the room it belongs in.
Lucerna 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.
Lucerna in Black
The one you do not have to think about
Black recedes into a desk and lets the work be the loudest thing on it. It is the finish that photographs cleanly on a call, holds up against every wood tone, and is almost never the decision anyone regrets.
Lucerna 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.
Lucerna in White
Reads as light, not as furniture
White keeps a small desk feeling larger than it measures. Against plaster, paper and pale wood it stops registering as an object at all, which is exactly what you want from something that lives in front of you eight hours a day.

Questions
Good to know before you equip.
How long does the battery last?
36 hours on low, 12 hours on high, from the built-in 2000mAh lithium battery. A full recharge over Type-C takes 4 hours, and the cable is in the box.
How do the brightness levels work?
There are three, and you tap the body to move through them. Low is a soft ambient marker, high is enough to read by. There is no dial and no app, just the touch sensor.
Is the light comfortable at night?
That is what it is built for. The LED is full spectrum with high color accuracy, low blue light, and no flicker, so it reads as warm lamplight rather than a phone screen on a stick.
Can I use it outdoors?
On a covered patio table, a balcony, or a camp table, yes. It is splash resistant, so a spilled drink or damp air will not bother it. It is not rated for rain or submersion, so bring it in when the weather turns.
How do I carry it?
By the finger ring on the base, the same way an oil lamp was carried. At 30 cm tall it moves from dinner table to nightstand in one hand, no cord trailing behind.
What do I charge it with?
Any USB power source, through the Type-C port. The USB cable is included. Four hours takes it from empty to a full 36 hours of low-light runtime.
Does volume pricing apply for hotels and restaurants?
Yes. Bars, hotels, and restaurants run these as cordless table lights, and per-unit pricing drops from the second unit onward, with the best rate at 100 or more. The 36 hour runtime means one charging rotation covers a full service week on low.
