Outdoor dining tables and lounge areas deserve proper light — but running a cable to every surface is rarely practical, and cheap battery lanterns rarely deliver the quality of light that a considered outdoor scheme deserves. The challenge is finding a portable light that performs well enough to sit alongside a designed scheme rather than undermine it.
For portable outdoor lighting, the two things that matter most are battery endurance and light quality. Battery life determines whether the evening ends on your terms or the lamp's. Light quality — measured by CRI, or Colour Rendering Index, a score out of 100 indicating how accurately colours appear under the light — determines whether your food, your table setting, and your guests actually look good. IP55 is an ingress protection rating confirming the fitting is dust-tight and can withstand jets of water from any direction, making it genuinely suitable for outdoor use.
The In-Lite SWAY TABLE is a cordless, rechargeable outdoor table light from the Dutch brand's SWAY family. It delivers up to 60 hours of continuous use on a single charge, achieves a CRI of 96 — exceptionally high for a portable lamp — and carries an IP55 rating for reliable outdoor performance. Four dim settings allow you to adjust the warmth and intensity of the ambience across the evening. Recharging is straightforward via the included USB cable.
The SWAY TABLE is built from metal throughout, with a slender vertical stem, a weighted circular base for stability on any flat surface, and a domed shade with a distinctive hammered texture in a deep forest green. A matte black base and stem complete the aesthetic — modern in line, artisanal in finish. A mounting clip on the stem adds a practical flourish for holding a menu card or phone. No options variants are currently listed, so the configuration shown is as specified.
No driver, transformer, or external wiring is required — the lamp is entirely self-contained. IP55 protection covers covered outdoor areas, terraces, and sheltered garden tables. The SWAY TABLE can operate as a standalone piece or integrate visually within a broader in-lite SWAY system if you are running one. Installation, in the traditional sense, is simply a matter of placing it where you need light.
At Lightsource Mallorca, we source portable and architectural outdoor lighting to complement fully specified schemes — or to solve a single table's lighting problem without overcomplicating the brief. The SWAY TABLE earns its place in a curated outdoor setting through genuine technical merit: the CRI 96 output and 60-hour endurance are not marketing figures to gloss over. If you are coordinating a wider outdoor lighting project, we can align lead times and delivery across all components so nothing arrives out of sequence.
