Lino Linen Shade Cordless Table Lamp

The owner's take on the Lino

Lino is a slim brass-finish stem that lifts a small drum of pleated white fabric about 27 cm off the table. The fabric turns the light into a warm circle over the surface and the person next to it, so it behaves like a shaded bedside lamp rather than a room light. There is no cord to a socket. It charges over USB and runs about 8 to 12 hours on a full battery, so one evening on the cable covers a week of dinners. You tap the base to switch it on and hold to dim through three levels, and you pick the white tone: warm 2700K for winding down, 3500K for reading, or 4200K when you want it closer to daytime. It stands 26.7 cm tall on a base about 9 cm across.

Where it is not the right tool: the shade is small, so one Lino lights one corner of a room. Close detailed work needs a proper task lamp. For a nightstand, a shelf or a side table it is nicely judged.

Why you will love the Lino

• No cord, just a USB charge. Move it from the bedside to the shelf to the table without finding a power point.
• Three white tones. 2700K, 3500K and 4200K from the same lamp, set with the touch control.
• Real pleated fabric shade. Stretched over a frame, so it holds its shape and the pleats catch a little shadow when lit.
• Tap and hold dimming. One tap on, hold to run the brightness down to a low glow.
• Three finishes. Gold and Matte Gold sit warm against timber and cream. Silver is the cooler, quieter option.

Why a cordless fabric table lamp is worth it

A shaded lamp usually means a cord down the back of the furniture and a spare power point. Lino gives you the same soft shaded light with nothing plugged in, on a battery that lasts most of a week of evening use. Because it runs on low-voltage USB it also skips the 240V electrical approval that slows imported plug-in lamps into Australia. Backed by our 60-day guarantee.

Is the Lino bright enough to read by?

For a book in a chair, yes, with the lamp set close and the tone on 3500K or 4200K. The fabric shade keeps the light soft and short-range, so it is made for atmosphere and comfortable reading rather than lighting a desk. Turned down to 2700K it works as a low bedside light.

How long does the battery last?

About 8 to 12 hours on a full charge, more when you keep it dim. It is built for evenings, so most people leave it on its cable through the day and take it off at night. We go through the trade-offs of rechargeable lamps in our guide to the best cordless table lamps in Australia.
