Good looking unit, but once the batteries were in--- the light was too bright and the unit should have a dimmer. Also it should have a "flicker" switch to. duplicate an actual candle Brighttech makes excellent products and I have two illuminated magnifier stands for my wife to use to enlace her reading books.with small print. keep up the good work!
The Rhea is carved from natural alabaster, a soft white stone that light passes through. Because it is natural stone, the veining and the way it glows differ from piece to piece, so no two are identical. It is polished rather than matte, and the whole lamp weighs under a pound.
Yes, the Rhea is completely cordless. It runs on three AAA batteries, which are not included, so there is no cable and no outlet needed. That is what lets it sit where a plug-in lamp cannot go, like the middle of a table or a shelf away from the wall. The switch is on the bottom of the lamp.
No. The Rhea has a single on and off setting, and the light is a warm 2700K. It gives about 90 lumens, which is a soft accent glow rather than light to read by.
No, and the design is the opposite of directional. Light passes through the alabaster itself, so the whole lamp becomes an ambient mood glow in every direction, picking up the veining in the stone. Place it where you want that glow rather than aiming it.
No bulb to buy or fit: the Rhea has a 5 watt LED built in. Because it is built in, it is not user replaceable, and it is covered by the 5 year warranty. Running costs come down to the three AAA batteries.
The Rhea is offered in one version: natural white alabaster with a polished finish. Since the stone is natural, the piece you receive will have its own veining. For a larger alabaster lamp, see the Alora Table Lamp, and for a cordless lamp with more color choice and a rechargeable battery, see the Celia Portable Lamp.
The Rhea is a small natural-stone piece that reads more like an object than a lamp. Because it is cordless and tiny, it goes where lamps usually cannot: a bedside shelf, a bathroom counter, a bookcase, a dinner table, or as a nightlight. It also works as a paperweight that happens to glow.
The Rhea is very small, and this is the thing to know before ordering. It is 3.15 inches across and about 2.4 inches tall, roughly the size of a teacup, and it weighs under a pound. It is an accent light, not a lamp that lights a room or a book.
Tiny. The Rhea ships in a 4.9 by 4.6 by 3.6 inch carton weighing well under a pound, a small parcel that fits in a mailbox.
None. Fit three AAA batteries, which are not included, and it is ready. A small screw holds the battery cover, and a mini screwdriver is included for it.
Several is the common pattern, because one gives a pool of glow rather than room light. Two on either side of a bed, or three down the middle of a dinner table, is how most people use them at home. They are also bought in quantity for events and galas, and for meditation and yoga studios, where cordless means no cables across a floor. Keep a pack of AAA batteries on hand, since they are not in the box.
The Rhea is covered by a 5 year warranty and is UL Listed, with US based customer service.
