Know before you buy
The Panthella 250 is designed as a plug-in lamp rather than a battery-operated portable light. While it is compact and easy to move between rooms, it requires a connection to a power outlet via its 120-inch cord to function.
While the lamp is versatile, it is c-UL listed for dry locations only. It is best suited for indoor use or covered, protected outdoor spaces where it will not be exposed to moisture or rain.
The lamp features an integrated touch switch located on the base. You can cycle through three brightness settings—high, medium, and low—to customize the ambiance to your preference.
The Panthella 250 uses an integrated 10W LED module designed for longevity and energy efficiency. Because the light source is built into the fixture, it is not intended to be replaced by the user.
The metal shade directs light downward, creating a focused pool of illumination on the surface below. The opal acrylic shade is translucent, allowing light to diffuse through the shade itself to create a soft, ambient glow that illuminates the entire room.
