Tepa Medium Rechargeable Floor Lamp by Sean Lavin for Visual Comfort

The Tepa Medium Rechargeable Floor Lamp by Sean Lavin is a 49-inch cordless floor lamp: a thin metal stem rising from a low round base to a shallow disc shade. No cord to the wall and no outlet beside the chair, just a soft 2700K glow wherever you stand it.

It charges over USB C, runs 12 to 14 hours on a full battery and dims in three steps with a touch. Choose Black, Matte White or Hand-Rubbed Antique Brass.

The Design Story

Sean Lavin designs lighting by working with light, form and material, drawing on art, architecture, travel and technology. Tepa reduces a floor lamp to three parts: a weighted base, a slim stem and a disc that sends light down and out. The finish does the talking, so the shape stays quiet in a room.

Why You'll Love It

Tepa moves with you. Park it beside a reading chair tonight, carry it to the terrace this weekend, and plug it in only when the battery runs low. The touch dimmer gives you bright, soft and low settings from one tap on the shade. The warm 2700K light at 90 CRI keeps skin tones and fabrics looking natural. A six-foot 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 body is aluminum and brass, and the lamp weighs 4 lbs, light enough to carry from room to room yet stable on its wide base. It is ETL listed and carries a wet location rating, so a covered patio or a bathroom corner is fair game. Visual Comfort backs it with a one-year warranty.

Product Details

Where It Shines

Beside a sofa or lounge chair, in a reading corner, on a covered patio, next to a bed where there is no outlet, or as a movable accent in a rental where you cannot hardwire anything.

Who This Is Not For

Tepa is an accent and ambient light, not a task lamp. If you need strong light for sewing or close reading, choose a hardwired or plug-in fixture with higher output. It also suits you less if you want a fabric shade, or a lamp that must run all day without charging; plan on a recharge every 12 to 14 hours of use.

Questions We Hear Most

How long does Tepa 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 the Tepa floor lamp 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.

How dim does it go?

It has three touch settings. On the low setting it draws about 0.6 W, and on high about 2.2 W, for a steady 2700K glow throughout.

What comes in the box?

The lamp, a 6 ft USB C to C charging cable and a wall charger. The LED module is built in.

Which cable color comes with each finish?

Black comes with a black cable, Matte White with a white cable and Hand-Rubbed Antique Brass with a cream cable.

How big is it in a room?

It stands 49 inches tall on an 8 inch round base, so it tucks beside a chair or sofa arm without crowding the seat.

Why We Love It

Few floor lamps are this quiet and this free. Tepa gives a room an accent of light and a clean vertical line, then lets you move it when the room changes.
