Tala
Low-energy lighting designed and engineered in London
Tala was founded in 2015 by three Edinburgh University friends. Its London team designs and engineers its LED lighting in-house, in aluminium and brass rather than plastic, and builds it to be durable and repairable.

Muse Portable Lamp
Thirty hours of light on a charge, wireless charging on a Qi pad, and an IP44 shell.
The Muse is Tala's lantern: powder-coated aluminium with solid brass details meant to patina, dimming from 2800K down to an 1800K ember. It recharges over USB-C in about five and a half hours or on a 15W Qi pad, and can pass power back out to another device. Tala is a London-based certified B Corporation — see the range in our Tala collection.

Common Questions
How long does the Muse run on one charge?
Up to 30 hours at 25% brightness, less at full output. Tala rates the battery for more than 5,000 lifetime hours, and a fast charge reaches 50% in about two hours.
Can it be used outside?
Yes. The Muse is IP44 rated and cordless, so it moves from a dining table to a garden step without an outlet. Keep it below 95°F in operation.
How does it charge?
Over USB-C in about five and a half hours, or on a 15W Qi wireless pad. It also does reverse power sharing, so it can top up a phone in a pinch.
