Faro Cordless Rechargeable Reading Floor Lamp
The owner's take on the Faro
Faro is a slim black floor lamp for the side of a chair, and the useful part is the top: a small rechargeable reading light that pulls straight off the stem, so you can take it to the kitchen bench, the bedside table or the balcony and put it back when you are done. Both parts run on the same battery. The light is warm at 2700K and dims with a touch on the top: tap on or off, or hold your finger there to run the brightness up and down and stop where you want. There is no cord to the wall; it charges over USB-C, roughly four hours to full and about four hours of light per charge.
Where it is not the right tool: the runtime is built for evenings, not all-day use, so it is a lamp you top up between sittings. At about 120 cm the reading light lands over your shoulder in a chair, which is right for reading but low for lighting a whole room. Indoor use.
Why you will love the Faro
- The light lifts off. A proper reading light by the chair, plus a small lamp you carry to the kitchen or the bedside.
- Warm 2700K reading light. 200 lumens aimed at the page, comfortable rather than clinical.
- Stepless touch dimming. Hold the top and land on any brightness, no fixed steps.
- No power point needed. Stands in the middle of a room with no cord to trail or tape down.
- Slim and steady. Powder-coated matte black metal on a small round base, easy to move room to room.
Why a cordless reading floor lamp is worth it
Most floor lamps light one spot and stay wired to it. Faro gives you the reading light by the chair and a detachable lamp you can carry off, with nothing plugged in. It runs on a low-voltage USB-C battery, so it also skips the 240V electrical approval that slows imported plug-in floor lamps into Australia. Backed by our 60-day guarantee.

How long does the Faro run per charge?
About four hours of light per charge, and roughly four hours to fill over USB-C. It is built for evening reading, so you top it up between sessions rather than leaving it on all day. Runtime is at a usable reading brightness; keep it low and it lasts longer.
Are floor lamps like this still in style?
Yes. The current floor lamp is slim, warm and often cordless, used as the reading layer beside a chair rather than a bright uplighter. We cover it in Are floor lamps still in style in 2026?
