Nova Rechargeable Desk Lamp

The Nova Rechargeable Desk Lamp is designed for people who work in more than one spot. It charges over USB and then runs unplugged for hours, so it can move from a desk to a kitchen table to a balcony without hunting for an extension lead. The arm and head both adjust, letting you aim light onto a keyboard, a page or a sketchpad rather than into your eyes.

Brightness steps through several levels and the colour temperature shifts between a cool tone for focused work and a warm one for evenings. The LED panel is wide rather than a single point source, which softens shadows across a page instead of drawing a hard line across it. Velleora Home Decor built the driver for low flicker at every brightness level.

Its energy draw is a fraction of a filament desk lamp, and there is no bulb to replace over the life of the fitting. Fold it flat to slide into a drawer or a bag. Charge with the supplied cable and avoid leaving it in direct sun on a hot windowsill, which shortens battery life.
