LumiLoop Rechargeable Pendant

A circular aluminium frame with a shade suspended inside it, running on a rechargeable battery rather than mains wiring. That combination is unusual: most pendants need a ceiling rose and an electrician, and this one needs a hook.

Cordless changes where a pendant can go. Over a garden table, on a balcony, hung from a branch for an evening, above a dining table in a rented flat with no ceiling point in the right place. It carries an IP54 rating, so light rain and damp air are not a problem when it is used outside.

Touch dimming on the frame adjusts brightness without a switch or a remote, so it can be set low for a meal and brighter for clearing up afterwards. Black is the more graphic finish and reads as a drawn circle against a pale wall; white is quieter and disappears more readily. Bring it indoors to charge, and expect a full evening from one charge. The battery sits inside the frame rather than a separate pack, so there is nothing dangling below the shade, and a full charge typically lasts through a long evening of entertaining outdoors. Wipe the aluminium frame with a dry cloth, avoid submerging it, and bring it inside during heavy rain despite the IP54 rating.
