Place the lamp where the work happens: with no cable or plug, it sits on the worktop, the bedside table or a shelf, then moves from one room to another. All the rechargeable desk lamps in this collection light in warm white (2700 to 3500 K), are dimmable and stay IP44 protected, including outdoors.

What light does a rechargeable desk lamp give for a desk?
Expect a warm white between 2700 and 3500 K, dimmable: that is the light given by the lamps in this collection. This hue leans towards soft yellow rather than cold blue, which limits the harsh contrast between screen, paper and the rest of the room.
Which light colour for a living room or a desk?
For seated work, you generally stay around 3000 K: bright enough to read a note, warm enough not to break the mood in the evening. A colder white, towards 4000 K and above, accentuates reflections on the screen. To compare sources, browse the LED models for the desk.
What is the dimmer for day to day?
It lets you go from working light during the day to accent light in the evening without changing lamp. You lower the intensity for quiet reading or to light a corner of the sofa. See also the adjustable lamps if you like directing the beam.
Where to place a rechargeable desk lamp when there is no socket?
With no cable, the lamp sits where the work happens: corner of the worktop, bedside table, end of the sofa. The IP44 rating also allows outdoor use, on a terrace or balcony, provided it is not exposed to water jets or immersion.
| Use | What matters | Format to favour |
|---|---|---|
| Wide desk or corner unit | Height and presence above the surface | Tilted shade 22 x 40 cm |
| Small secretary desk, shelf | Reduced footprint | Dome 16.5 x 25.5 cm |
| Bedside table | Small footprint, moderate light | Dome 16.5 x 25.5 cm |
| Sheltered terrace or balcony | Protection against water splashes | Either one, IP44 in both cases |
| Room where it moves often | Easy to pick up and light weight | Dome 16.5 x 25.5 cm |
Desk, bedroom, living room: a lamp that follows the workspace
On a corner desk, it lights the keyboard without lighting the whole room. On a bedside table, it replaces the fixed lamp when the socket is already taken. In the living room, it ends up as an accent lamp on a low unit, as the design lamps for the living room show.
What IP44 allows outdoors
IP44 covers water splashes and small solid bodies: a sheltered terrace, a balcony under an awning, light rain are no problem. No puddles, no direct watering, no immersion. For night rooms, see the LED bedroom lighting.
Which format to choose between 22 x 40 cm and 16.5 x 25.5 cm?
The 22 x 40 cm model, with its tilted shade, takes up a wide desk and stands out in the room. The 16.5 x 25.5 cm dome fits on a narrow top, a shelf or a bedside table. The first takes space, the second goes unnoticed.
| Model | Stated dimensions | Shape | Colours | Material | Protection rating | Light temperature | Adjustment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rechargea | 22 x 40 cm | Tilted shade | White, anthracite | Metal | IP44 | Warm white 2700-3500 K | Dimmer |
| Elioreno | 16.5 x 25.5 cm | Dome | White, black | Not specified | IP44 | Warm white 2700-3500 K | Dimmer |
The large tilted shade of 22 x 40 cm
Its 40 cm height makes it a visible light point above the worktop, with a tilt that sends the light forward. The metal gives it a stronger line, close to the metal desk lamps. Model shown: the Rechargea with tilted shade.
The compact dome of 16.5 x 25.5 cm
25.5 cm high, a reduced base: it slips between a screen and the edge of the top, or onto a shelf without filling it. This is the format for small workstations and design bedside lamps. Model shown: the Elitoreno dome.
Clamp lamp or table lamp?
A clamp lamp attaches to the edge of the top to free the surface, but it stays fixed to the furniture. The models here are table lamps: you move them without tools, including outdoors. If your top is thin or has no edge, the clamp is not an option.
How to match a rechargeable desk lamp to the room's decor?
The models in the collection are contemporary in style, in white, black or anthracite for one, white or black for the other. On a desk, a discreet white blends into the wall, a black or anthracite underlines the worktop. The metal of the large format brings a stronger line.
Rechargeable desk lamps for a design desk: white, black or anthracite?
White matches a light wall and a wooden top. Black contrasts and goes with the black colours for the desk, anthracite softens the contrast. For a lighter finish, see the white finishes for the desk and the modern lines on the worktop.
And for kitchen decoration?
On a kitchen worktop, a cordless lamp avoids running a line from the wall and sits near the hob or the food processor. It is a real practical point for modern kitchen decor, where you want accent light without building work. White goes anywhere, including in a very understated kitchen decoration; the LED lamps for the kitchen in the catalogue follow this logic. For the overall look, see design desk lamps.
Should you wire several lamps to a single power supply, or go rechargeable?
A rechargeable lamp needs no power supply at all: it is placed and switched on. For several fixed luminaires on the same circuit, the connection is a job for an electrician, because you do not multiply devices behind one socket without checking the circuit load.
How to wire several lamps to a single power supply?
The principle is an upstream connection, on a junction box or at the consumer unit, with a common supply and a take-off per luminaire. This avoids the cascade of extension leads, which says nothing about the real load. This work is entrusted to a professional, if only for switching off the circuit.
What a cordless lamp changes on a desk
No drilling, no cable routing, no trunking along the wall: the lamp arrives charged and is placed. A desk far from any socket becomes usable without building work, and you move the light to another workstation without unplugging anything. Recharging is done according to the model's instructions.
How to care for a cordless desk lamp and keep it clean?
A soft, slightly damp cloth is enough on metal as on white. IP44 protects against water splashes, not against a jet or immersion: you wipe, you do not rinse. Avoid abrasive products and let it dry before switching it back on.
Cleaning metal and white without damaging them
On metal, wipe the cloth in the direction of the finish and dry immediately to avoid marks. On white, a mild non-abrasive product and minimal rinsing limit fingerprints around the dimmer. For bedside shapes, see the black metal bedside.
What not to do despite IP44
No watering jet, no immersion, no pressure washer, even on a balcony. Outdoors, bring the lamp in during prolonged heavy rain and wipe it after exposure. The LED cannot be replaced: simply dust the diffuser surface.
How much to budget and how to buy a rechargeable desk lamp?
The budget depends on format and finish, not on the number of functions: the lamps in the collection share the LED, the warm white, the IP44 and the dimmer. The purchase therefore comes down to footprint and colour. Secure payment, tracked delivery, returns and Designix customer service accompany the order.
Rechargeable desk lamp cheap: the right trade-off
With equal functions, a small format is enough if the top is narrow; paying for a larger one only makes sense if you have the space above the worktop. Look first at the 22 x 40 cm and the 16.5 x 25.5 cm side by side, then the colour. The current price is shown on each product page, and the Designix lighting catalogue lets you compare.

Frequently asked questions
Is a rechargeable desk lamp with a clamp the same thing?
No. A clamp lamp attaches to the edge of the top to free the surface; the models here are table lamps, which rest on the desk, the shelf or the bedside table. The advantage of the table lamp is that you move it without tools, including outdoors thanks to IP44.
Can an IP44 lamp be left on a terrace or balcony?
IP44 indicates protection against water splashes and small solid bodies: the lamp withstands a sheltered terrace and light rain. It must not stay in a puddle, under prolonged heavy rain or under a watering jet, and you wipe it after exposure.
Is a socket near the desk needed for a rechargeable lamp?
Not while in use: the lamp runs on its battery and is placed where you want. Recharging, however, is done according to the model's instructions, and that is the only time a power source is needed. Check before buying if the desk is far from any socket.
Can these models be called Italian design table lamps?
No, no Italian origin is mentioned on these pages. The lamps are contemporary in style, with round or dome shapes and white, black or anthracite colours. If you are looking for that understated, compact line, these are the criteria to look at, not an origin label.
How to wire several lamps to a single power supply?
Several fixed luminaires on the same circuit are connected upstream, on a box or at the consumer unit, and not through a cascade of extension leads. This connection requires an electrician. A rechargeable table lamp gets around the problem: it works without a power supply and moves from one room to another.
