Louver 9 Rechargeable Table Lamp by Sean Lavin for Visual Comfort

The Louver 9 Rechargeable Table Lamp by Sean Lavin is a smooth dome of metal on a thick round column, with a thin slit of light where the two meet. It stands 8.8 inches tall with a 7 inch shade, and it charges over USB C, so it sits on a table with no cord to hide.

It lasts up to 12 to 14 hours on a full battery and dims in three steps with a touch. Choose Black, Bronze, Hand-Rubbed Antique Brass or Matte White.

The Design Story

Sean Lavin designs lighting by working with light, form and material, drawing on art, architecture, travel and technology. Louver is built around a small trick of light. Visual Comfort describes metal columns with a slight interruption of light, so the column appears to pass straight through the shade. The slit under the dome gives the lamp its name and its character: a solid object that seems to glow along one clean line.

Why You'll Love It

Louver 9 is the lamp for people who like their lighting graphic and low. Its squat shape sits under a window, along a shelf or at a bar and leaves sightlines open. The light shines from the slit under the dome and falls in a soft ring on the surface around it, so the table glows without the bulb ever showing. A touch steps through bright, soft and low, and the 2700K light at 90 CRI keeps the color of the room natural. A USB C cable and a wall charger come in the box, so you can charge it the day it arrives.

Made for Real Life

The lamp is made of aluminum and brass and weighs 4 lbs, so the wide dome has a steady footing. It is ETL listed with a wet location rating and an outdoor full weather rating, so a covered patio or poolside table is fair game. Visual Comfort backs it with a one-year warranty.

Product Details

Where It Shines

On a bar top, a console, a shelf, a desk, a bedside table, a dining table, a covered patio or poolside table, or as a movable accent in a rental where you cannot hardwire anything.

Who This Is Not For

Louver 9 is an accent light, not a task lamp. At 210 lumens it gives a gentle glow, so for reading or sewing choose a fixture with higher output. Its light comes from under the dome, so it will not light the ceiling or the wall behind it. Plan on a recharge every 12 to 14 hours of use.

Questions We Hear Most

How long does the Louver 9 run before I recharge it?

Up to 12 to 14 hours on a full charge, depending on the dimmer setting, and about 5 hours to recharge over the included USB C cable.

Can I use it outside?

Its spec sheet lists an ETL wet location certification and an outdoor full weather rating, so a covered patio or deck works. We still suggest bringing it in during storms and charging it indoors.

What does the 9 stand for?

It is the model's name in the series, and the lamp measures 7 inches across and 8.8 inches tall.

How bright is it?

It delivers 210 lumens at 2700K and 90 CRI, a soft accent glow. The touch dimmer has three steps, drawing about 0.6 W on low and 2.4 W on high.

What comes in the box?

The lamp, a USB C to C charging cable and a wall charger. The LED module is built in, so there is no bulb to buy.

Which finish should I choose?

Black and Bronze recede into dark furniture, Hand-Rubbed Antique Brass warms a wood or stone surface, and Matte White suits light interiors.

Why We Love It

Louver 9 shows how much character one clean slit of light can give a plain shape, and it goes wherever the table is.
