The biggest frustration with decorative table lamps outdoors — or in spaces without a convenient socket — is the cable. It limits where you can actually place the lamp, and often rules out the best spots entirely: a bistro table on the terrace, a mantlepiece without nearby power, a corner of a poolside lounge.
Rechargeable cordless lamps solve this by integrating a battery directly into the base, allowing placement wherever it looks right rather than wherever the cable reaches. IP22 means the lamp carries a degree of protection against dripping water — suitable for covered outdoor areas and indoor use, though not exposed to direct rain.
The Visual Comfort Blaze Rechargeable Table Lamp, designed in collaboration with Waterford, combines a slender metal stem and low-profile circular base with a truncated conical shade in faceted clear crystal. The deep vertical and radial faceting refracts the integrated LED light source into decorative patterns on surrounding surfaces — delivering atmosphere as much as illumination. At approximately 12 inches tall, the slim profile fits comfortably on narrow surfaces where a bulkier lamp simply wouldn't.
The Blaze is available in two sizes — Small and Large — and three metal finishes: Bronze, Polished Nickel, and Natural Brass. The contrast between the minimal, modern metal base and the ornate crystal shade is the defining design move here: quietly architectural from a distance, intricate up close.
As a rechargeable lamp, no external driver, transformer, or hardwiring is required. The integrated LED and battery are self-contained. IP22 protection makes it suitable for covered terraces and sheltered outdoor dining areas, as well as any indoor application. Always check the recharge method and battery duration in the product datasheet before specifying for high-turnover hospitality settings.
At Lightsource Studio, we help you match the right product to the right space — whether that's a private terrace in the hills or a boutique hotel dining room. The Blaze sits within a curated portfolio of design-led pieces where specification confidence matters as much as aesthetics. If you're unsure which size or finish suits your scheme, we're here to work through it with you.
