Nordlux Ara To-Go 2 rechargeable LED table lamp, black aluminium, 2318245003

The black Nordlux Ara To-Go 2, article 2318245003, is a rechargeable table lamp with a broad, shallow shade and a tapered body. Its aluminium construction is paired with plastic components and a brown leather loop. The loop provides a carrying point when moving the lamp between an indoor table, a balcony and a terrace.

Local light with touch control

The integrated, non-replaceable LED produces 240 lm at 3000 K. This warm-white output is intended for the area around the lamp rather than illuminating an entire garden. The official photographs show light falling from beneath the shade onto the surface supporting the lamp.

A short touch on the body-mounted switch turns the light on or off; a longer touch adjusts brightness. The memory function recalls the previous setting when switched on again, except after the battery has run out. There is no separate bulb to purchase and no external dimmer to match to the lamp.

How brightness changes battery life

Nordlux specifies approximately 6.5 hours at full brightness, 15 hours at 40% and up to 80 hours at 10%. The longest figure therefore describes a low light setting, not continuous operation at the full 240 lm. Consider the brightness you need when planning how long to use it between charges.

Charging from empty to full takes about 5 hours. Fully charge the lamp before its first use. A black, 100 cm USB-C cable is included, but a USB power adapter is not. The instructions specify a 5 V, 1 A adapter. The cable is for charging and does not need to remain connected during battery-powered use.

Size, placement and care

The lamp is 29.2 cm tall, with a 19.7 cm shade diameter and a net weight of 1 kg. Check the shade diameter against the space available on your table. Nordlux permits indoor and outdoor use. IP54 covers harmful dust ingress and splashing water, not immersion.

The simple geometry and contrasting leather detail suit modern, minimalist and Scandinavian interiors. Use a stable supporting surface; the manufacturer does not designate this lamp for seaside conditions. Clean with a soft cloth, slightly damp if necessary, avoiding alcohol and aggressive cleaning agents.
