Caspe 8 Rechargeable Table Lamp by Sean Lavin for Visual Comfort

The Caspe 8 Rechargeable Table Lamp by Sean Lavin is a tapered crystal cone under a metal cap, a cordless accent light that moves wherever the evening does. It stands 7.6 inches tall and 5 inches across at its widest, charges over USB-C and has a touch dimmer for three light levels.

The cap comes in Hand-Rubbed Antique Brass, Bronze or Polished Nickel. It is the taller, broader step up from Caspe 7, with more crystal to glow.

The Design Story

Sean Lavin designs lighting by working with light, form and material, drawing on art, architecture, travel and technology. In the Caspe family he sets clear crystal against hand-finished metal and lets the two materials play off each other. Caspe 8 adds a taper: the crystal narrows toward the cap and widens at the base, so it reads as a small sculpture until the light comes on and the whole body fills with a warm glow.

Why You'll Love It

With no cord to route, Caspe 8 fits a console, a bedside table, a bookshelf or the middle of a dining table. The conical shape gives it more presence than a simple cylinder, and it can be stood either way up for a different look. The integrated LED is warm at 2700K with 90 CRI and delivers 87 lumens, an ambient glow for atmosphere rather than for reading. A touch on the lamp steps through the brightness settings.

Built to Be Handled

The lamp is made of brass and crystal and weighs 9 lbs, so it sits firmly where you put it. It is ETL listed and rated for indoor, dry locations only. Visual Comfort backs it with a one-year warranty. As with any crystal object, handle it with care.

Product Details

Where It Shines

On a console, a bedside table, a bookshelf, a desk or a dining table, or anywhere indoors you want a movable pool of warm light without running a cord.

Who This Is Not For

Caspe 8 is an accent light. At 87 lumens it will not light a page for reading or work, and it is not a main light for a room. It is rated for indoor, dry locations, so keep it off a patio or a bathroom counter. Its battery is sealed and not replaceable.

Questions We Hear Most

Is the shape different from Caspe 7?

Yes. Caspe 8 is a tapered cone, 7.6 inches tall and 5 inches wide at the widest point, while Caspe 7 is a smaller 6.6 by 4.8 inch cylinder.

How do I charge it?

Plug the supplied USB-C cord into a USB charging port. Visual Comfort's instructions for the Caspe family say a full charge takes about five hours, and an indicator light beside the port shows red when it needs charging, flashing green while charging and solid green when full.

Can I replace the battery?

No. The battery is a 3.8V, 7000 mAh pack that is not replaceable, and the LED module is built in, so there is no bulb to change.

How bright is it?

It delivers 87 lumens at 2700K and 90 CRI, a soft accent glow. A three-step touch dimmer on the lamp sets the level, drawing about 0.6 W on low and 2.4 W on high.

Can I use it outside?

No. Its spec sheet lists an indoor only, dry location rating.

Which finish should I choose?

Hand-Rubbed Antique Brass is the warmest, Bronze is the darkest and most graphic, and Polished Nickel is the coolest and brightest of the three.

Why We Love It

The taper turns a glass lamp into a small sculpture that happens to glow.
