Capullo Portable Cordless Table Lamp

The owner's take on the Capullo

Capullo is a small battery lamp with a rounded shade sitting over a matching base, in colours strong enough that it works as an object on a shelf even when it is off. It is the portable take on a shape that is usually hard-wired, so you can stand it on a windowsill, a dinner table or a bookshelf with nothing plugged in. Inside is a 3800 mAh battery that charges over USB. Touch the base to switch it on and to move through the brightness, and it carries three light tones: a warm 3000K, a neutral 4000K, and a cooler 6000K when you want more of a working light.

Where it is not the right tool: it is rated IP20, so it is an indoor lamp only, and the small shade lights one zone rather than a room. As a colour accent on a desk, a shelf, a dining table or a bedside, it is well judged, and it is light enough to carry between them without thinking about it.

Why you will love the Capullo

• Colour without a cord. Signal Red and Mustard are meant to be seen, and there is no lead running across the floor to a socket.
• 3800 mAh battery, USB charging. A real evening of light per charge, topped up with a common cable.
• Three light tones. 3000K, 4000K and 6000K from a touch on the base, warm to near-daylight.
• Steel and acrylic build. More solid than the price suggests, and it does not slide around on a shelf.
• Four finishes. Chrome and Warm White blend in. Signal Red and Mustard are the reason to pick this over a plain lamp.

Why a portable colour lamp is worth it

Colour has come back into Australian rooms over the last year or two, and a small bright lamp is a low-commitment way to bring some in: no repaint, no reupholster, and you can move it or put it away. Capullo runs on a low-voltage USB battery, so it also skips the 240V electrical approval that holds up imported plug-in lamps at the Australian border. Backed by our 60-day guarantee.

How long does the battery last?

The 3800 mAh cell gives a full evening at a usable brightness and much longer on the low warm setting. Runtime drops as you turn it up and add the cooler tones. Most people treat it like a phone: charge it once or twice a week, off the base at night. We go through the trade-offs of rechargeable lamps in our guide to the best cordless table lamps in Australia.

Where does the Capullo work best?

On a dining table as a pop of colour instead of a centrepiece, on a desk beside a monitor, on an open shelf between books, or on a bedside table. It is an indoor lamp, so keep it dry. For a warmer, quieter option in the same size, see the Nocturna.
