How bright is it and what is it comparable to?

Think of it as a strong modern candle or small ambient lamp that creates a soft pool of light on a table rather than lighting the whole room.

What’s the battery life and charge time?

The lamp provides up to 12 hours of use on the lowest brightness setting and recharges via USB-C in a few hours.

How to charge it and use while charging?

It charges via with the included USB magnetic-snap cable. The small LED glows red while charging and turns green when full. You can use it while it is plugged in, though using it unplugged most of the time is better for battery health.

Is it touch dimmable and how many levels?

Yes. It has touch controls with seamless dimming. Tap the top to turn it on or off. Touch and hold to set the exact brightness you want.

What color settings does Piccola have?

You can switch between warm white (2700K), cool white (4000K) and daylight (6500K). Warm feels gentle and cozy, cool looks clean and fresh, and daylight feels bright and energizing.

How do I operate the Piccola?

Tap the top to turn it on. Tap again to change the color tone. It cycles warm, cool, daylight, then off. Touch and hold to brighten. Release, then hold again to dim.

A bell-shaped rechargeable lamp for small spaces

The Piccola's flared, bell-shaped shade spreads its light outward and down in a soft pool. At 30cm tall, 18cm wide and 0.6kg, it's made for small spaces: a narrow bedside table, a desk corner, a windowsill or a balcony table.

Pantop-inspired, in six colours

The Piccola takes its cues from Verner Panton's Pantop lamp, with the same flared silhouette. It runs for up to 12 hours on its lowest setting from an 1800mAh battery and charges by magnetic USB cable in about 2 to 3 hours. Tap to switch between warm white, cool white and daylight, and hold to dim. Colours are Light Blue, Cherry Red, Warm Yellow, Rose Pink, Grey Sand and Forest Green. The Piccola is Lamp Boy's own design and isn't made by or affiliated with Verpan.

Piccola or Pomello?

Both are compact cordless lamps for small spaces, but they give different kinds of light:

Piccola: 30cm tall with a flared, bell-shaped shade that spreads light outward and down, an 1800mAh battery, a magnetic USB charging cable and six colours
Pomello: 21cm tall with a candle-like glow from under a small cap, a 1600mAh battery, USB-C charging and five colours

Choose the Piccola if you want a wider pool of light on a bedside table or desk, and the Pomello if you want a smaller, subtler light for a dining table or windowsill.
