One of the most common frustrations with outdoor table lighting is the cable — or rather, the lack of anywhere useful to put it. Extension leads, exposed sockets, and proximity to water are a trio nobody wants to manage. Add in guests, an evening that runs long, and a terrace with no convenient power point, and the whole thing becomes more hassle than atmosphere.
Portable rechargeable lamps solve this elegantly, but the specification still matters. Battery life, dimming behaviour, waterproofing, and light quality all vary enormously between products. IP55 means the lamp is protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction — suitable for outdoor use in most exposed settings, though not submersion. CRI 96 means the colour rendering index is very high: colours look accurate and natural under this light, not washed out or flat.
The In-Lite SWAY TABLE is a cordless, rechargeable outdoor and indoor table lamp from the Dutch brand's SWAY concept. Rated IP55 and delivering a CRI of 96, it uses Human Dimming — a touch-activated, hand-gesture control that steps through four brightness settings as you dim, with the light becoming progressively warmer at lower levels. This dim-to-warm behaviour mimics the natural shift of candlelight, making lower settings feel genuinely inviting rather than simply less bright. Runtime is 20 hours at full brightness and up to 70 hours at the lowest setting, with recharging via the included USB-C cable.
Built from metal in a matte black finish, the SWAY TABLE has an architectural, minimal silhouette: a weighted disc base, an exceptionally slender stem, and a flat shade that directs light downward to keep glare to a minimum. The result is a lamp that looks considered rather than incidental — at home on a dining terrace, a poolside table, or a lounge corner indoors. No finish variants are listed; the lamp is offered in its signature matte black form as part of the wider SWAY family, and integrates naturally with other In-Lite SWAY fixtures if you're running the In-Lite outdoor system.
No driver, transformer, or external wiring is required — the lamp is fully self-contained. Charging is via the included USB-C cable. The IP55 rating makes it appropriate for sheltered and semi-exposed outdoor positions; avoid submerged or fully exposed high-rain environments. The touch-sensitive dimming control is located at the base of the stem.
At Lightsource Mallorca, we include products like the SWAY TABLE precisely because good outdoor lighting shouldn't depend on your socket layout. It's a genuinely specification-worthy portable — not a compromise, but a considered choice. Whether you're furnishing a single terrace table or coordinating it within a wider In-Lite garden scheme, we can help you get the placement, the pairing, and the timing right.
