New portable outdoor lamps from the German manufacturer IP44.de

The outdoor lamps expert IP44.de is expanding its portfolio with a family of flexibly usable portable lamps. With the newly developed product series, light is created wherever you happen to be. Thanks to the variety of designs, the products can be used as free-standing luminaires or as table luminaires, which can be equipped with wall brackets or suspension units, for almost any outdoor activity. The different luminaire bodies of the qu, lix, fil and aqu models form a broad aesthetic spectrum with a variety of lighting effects. As a result, they create the perfect lighting outdoors, when reading, working or socialising, and also cut a fine figure indoors. Modern LED technology and efficient rechargeable batteries ensure powerful performance with warm white light in 2700 K. Two models, aqu and fil, are equipped with solar panels and use the collected sunlight for lighting in the evening.

Today, facades, outdoor areas and gardens are considered an integral part of good architecture. High-quality equipped outdoor kitchens, spacious terraces and lounge areas extend the living space outside the house. “Our centre of life is increasingly shifting outside,” emphasises Bernd Schmalhorst, founder and CEO of IP44.de. “Portable lamps are the answer to our mobile world today. Why should we do without the right lighting outdoors?” The basic conviction that every place should be equipped with the best light became the brand philosophy “Every space deserves great light” for Schmalhorst. The claim to design aesthetic lamps to the highest technical standards for outdoor use has been pursued by IP44.de since the company was founded.

“From the point of view of IP44.de’s development department, the requirements for the right lamp have grown noticeably in the outdoor area. Today, customers prefer durable products that combine high-quality materials, efficient technology and appealing design,” Schmalhorst adds. IP44.de relies on imperishable materials, efficient in-house-developed LED technology and manufacturing partners who put it all together according to the highest quality standards. “From the very beginning, we have gone beyond all standards to design lamps that are exclusively robust and weather-resistant,” says Bernd Schmalhorst, describing his entrepreneurial vision.

qu – Flexible lampion

IP44.de reinterprets the classic lampion: the portable lamp qu is inspired by the traditional paper lantern and presents itself with a slender amber-coloured glass body. Thanks to the fold-out handle, it can be mounted on the wall or hung in trees, under veranda or balcony ceilings with a rubber cord. Equipped with luminous LEDs in the head part, qu emits atmospheric, warm white light in 2700 K, which can be regulated by a 3-step touch dimmer. As a mobile downlight, it illuminates the standing area. qu is available in jet black, bright bronze.

lix – radiance at the touch of a finger

Inspired by nature, the shape of lix is reminiscent of a mushroom and provides warm white, glare-free light at 2700 K. The portable table luminaire can be dimmed with a touch dimmer. The portable table lamp can be switched on at the touch of a finger. The other four brightness levels can also be selected using the 4-step touch dimmer. Depending on the light level, the powerful rechargeable battery guarantees an operating time of up to 45 hours. lix is available in seven colours.

fil – fabric for dreamlike light

Covered with a weather- and UV-resistant outdoor fabric, fil spreads a pleasantly warm light in 2700 K. The 3-stage touch dimmer allows you to select the desired light level. Thanks to the 3-step dimmer, the brightness can be varied. The Bauhaus-inspired lamp not only provides light, it also lives from it: the solar panel on the top stores the sunlight and returns it in the evening to create a pleasant atmosphere. This makes fil self-sufficient from the mains, and the lamp can also be charged via a USB-C cable. fil is available in two sizes, either 48 or 70 cm high. The small version also decorates side tables, while the large model illuminates its surroundings as a solitaire.

aqu – intelligent solar light

aqu uses the solar energy it captures during the day with its solar panel to produce brilliant light at 2700 K. Three brightness levels are available. Three brightness levels are available. If the power of the sun is not enough, the crystal glass luminaire can also be charged via a USB port on the side.

aqu is available in two sizes, a round version with a height of 23 cm and an elongated version with a height of 35 cm. This makes it versatile and, thanks to its homely design, it also fits into your own four walls. With its gently curved handle, aqu can be carried wherever a real bright spot is needed.
