More portable lamps set to debut | Lighting Report

Craftmade is introducing its first collection of portable lights which include both rechargeable LED lamps and solar/electric LED lanterns. Marta and Riki are the names of the two new rechargeable lamps. They have a touch on/off button, are dimmable, and charge using a USB Type-C cord. Craftmade did not include information on how long the charge lasts.

The new outdoor lanterns are wet-rated and feature rope-wrapped or teak frames. They charge quickly, Craftmade said, using an integrated solar panel or the included USB Type-C cord.

And, as previously reported, Napa Home & Garden is also delving into the portable lamp category with Alluna, a line of 16 cordless LED Lamps in an array of designer colors with distinctive empire shades in linen and metal, and a round charging station base. They will be unveiled at Atlanta Market.
