Outdoor table lamps

Outdoor table lamps for lighting gardens and patios

Outdoor table lamps provide a convenient point of light close to dining, seating and social areas. They can be placed on garden tables, side tables, bar counters, low outdoor furniture or surfaces next to sofas and armchairs.

As well as providing ambient lighting, they help define different areas and create a more welcoming atmosphere during outdoor dinners, celebrations and relaxing moments.

At Newgarden, you will find compact models, larger decorative lamps, lanterns, natural-fibre designs and portable options. The collection includes a variety of materials, heights and power sources, so it is important to check the specific features of each product before choosing.

How to choose an outdoor table lamp

Before buying, consider:

• The intended location.
• The size of the table or supporting surface.
• The height and width of the lamp.
• The type and intensity of the light.
• The power source.
• The battery life and charging time.
• Whether the lamp needs to be moved regularly.
• The material and finish.
• The conditions of use and maintenance.

For an outdoor dining table, choose a lamp that does not obstruct visibility between people or take up too much space. A slightly taller or more decorative model can be used on a side table, provided that its base is stable and proportionate to the surface.

When several tables need to be illuminated, compact models or multipacks may be a more practical option.

Available sizes and heights

Most lamps in the collection have a compact design:

• Lamps under 30 cm high.
• Lamps between 31 and 60 cm high.
• Lamps between 61 and 90 cm high.

Low table lamps are suitable for dining tables because they are less likely to obstruct visibility. Taller lamps can be used on side tables, bar counters, outdoor sideboards or as a statement decorative feature.

Before choosing, compare the height of the lamp with the height of the table and the eye level of people seated around it.

Materials and styles of our outdoor table lamps

The collection includes lamps made from different materials and in a variety of styles, including:

• Metal.
• Wood.
• Natural fibres.
• Polyethylene.
• Recycled plastic.
• Other materials and finishes.

Natural fibres and wood can create a warm, decorative look, while metal and polyethylene can be used to produce more compact or contemporary designs.

The material affects the lamp’s weight, cleaning requirements and suitable exposure conditions. You should therefore not assume that every lamp offers the same resistance to moisture, rain or sunlight.

Cleaning and maintaining outdoor table lamps

Cleaning requirements depend on the material and electrical system of each lamp. As a general guide:

• Switch off the lamp before cleaning it.
• Unplug mains-powered models.
• Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth.
• Avoid abrasive cleaning products.
• Do not immerse the product in water.
• Prevent water from entering switches, batteries and charging ports.
• Check that protective covers are properly closed.
• Allow the lamp to dry before switching it on or charging it again.

Even when a lamp is described as suitable for outdoor use, you should check its protection rating and avoid assuming that every product in the collection offers the same level of resistance to water or weather conditions.

Frequently asked questions about outdoor table lamps

Which table lamp is suitable for a patio?

This depends on the size of the table, the lighting already available and the proximity of power sockets. Compact, portable or rechargeable table lamps usually work well on smaller patios.

Are all the lamps in this category portable?

No. The collection includes portable, rechargeable, solar-powered, battery-operated and mains-powered models. The power source and whether the lamp can be easily moved should be checked on each product page.

How long does the battery last?

Battery life varies depending on the battery capacity, light intensity and selected lighting mode. Check the specifications of each lamp for exact information.

Do solar table lamps work in covered areas?

Their performance may be reduced if the solar panel does not receive sufficient light. For covered patios, check whether the model can also be charged using an electrical connection.

Are all outdoor table lamps waterproof?

This should not be assumed. Water resistance depends on the design and protection rating of each product. Check the conditions of use and avoid immersing the lamp unless this is expressly permitted.

Are outdoor table lamps available in packs for restaurants or events?

Yes. The collection includes selected products in packs of two, four or twelve units. Check the quantity, power source and features included in each pack.

Can I use an outdoor table lamp indoors?

Some models are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. In every case, check the dimensions, power source and recommended location of each product.
