3. Function Analysis
Color Rendering Index(CRI):
All of our products at MPLT maintain a CRI of at least >80; most of our products have a CRI of >90. The higher the color rendering index of the lamp, the closer the illuminated object will be to the color in natural light.
Power and Lumens:
The power of the lamp is usually between 1-2W, there are two forms of light sources, SMD and COB, and the bare lumen is between 100~200lm, which can be adjusted according to the buyer’s needs and usage scenarios.
Battery:
We usually use batteries in the range of 1800mAh-5200mAh, different battery capacity with different LED wattage determines the working time of the light; different battery input power determines the charging time of the light. At MPLT all our batteries have professional certificates (MSDS, UN38.3, etc.) to ensure the safety of the product and the transportation process.
Charging Method:
Most use USB Type-C cable for charging, some products will use magnetic charging or wireless charging. There will be different color indicator lights in charging and fully charged states, according to user’s demand we also design the reverse charging for cell phones, and wireless charging for cell phones table lamps.

For indoor use IP20, while for outdoor applications such as open-air events, outdoor restaurants, and camping, we use IP44 or IP54 (which can be used even under rainwater).
Color Temperature:
Commonly used 2700K-6000K, however, we usually set 3 color temperatures in one light, warm light 2700K or 3000K, cold light 6000K, neutral light 4500K, no matter it is a warm light for warmth or a cold light for work and study, it can meet your needs.If you still want to know more about the expertise of color temperature, you can read this article-What is Color Temperature in Lighting?
Switching Method:
We usually use touch on the lamp head or base to adjust, it can be fixed point touch or whole surface touch, use three-stage stepless dimming to adjust the color temperature and brightness; a few table lamps will use ON/OFF physical button switch to meet specific needs.
4. Structure, Material and Workmanship Analysis
4.1 Structure
The structure of most rechargeable table lamps on the market can be divided into four categories: appearance, LED board, battery, and connectors.
Appearance parts:
The overall structure of the lamp head/shade, pole, base and translucent sheet, which are visible to the naked eye and exposed on the outside, are collectively called appearance parts, and they determine the color, shape, size, and touch of the lamp, which is the first barrier to impress the users.
LED light board:
Usually designed in the interior of the lamp head, is where the light source is located, determines the color temperature and power of the lamp, but also the soul of the entire lamp.
Battery:
It is used to supply power to the LED board, and it will be placed in different places according to different designs. In MPLT we usually put the battery in the head, so that you don’t need to go through the pole to wire, reducing the failure rate, the light is also convenient to design into a KD (splicing) structure, can reduce the size of the package, reduce transportation costs.
Connector:
It refers to the spare parts that connect the appearance parts, LED light board and battery together, such as the nut and screw that connects the light pole to the base, the adhesive or fastener that fixes the battery inside the light head, etc., to ensure that the various main body connections are stable, beautiful, and can be used normally.
4.2 Material
We usually use hardware, glass, plastic ABS, acrylic, wood and other materials. If you want to reduce the cost, we will suggest to use plastic ABS material, and at the same time, we will add the counterweight block to improve the quality of the whole lamp, to ensure the texture and stability of the lamp.
4.3 Common Process/Surface Treatment:
Spray paint:
a commonly used in the surface treatment of lamps and lanterns process, the process includes cleaning the metal surface, spray primer, spray paint and high temperature baking, so that the surface is smooth and flat, bright colors and high gloss, corrosion resistance, easy to clean.
Electroplating:
A process that utilizes the principle of electrolysis to plate a layer of other metals or alloys on the surface of a specified metal by placing the specified metal into an electrolyte as the cathode (negative electrode) and the plated metal as the anode (positive electrode). Upon energization, the plating metal dissolves from the anode and deposits on the surface of the specified metal, forming a uniform metal plating layer. The plating layer can provide a variety of colors and luster, such as gold plating, silver plating, chrome plating, and other high-end colors, and enhance the hardness and abrasion resistance, making the lamps more durable.
Anodizing:
An electrochemical oxidation process that generates an oxide film on the surface of metals (mainly aluminum and its alloys) through an electrolytic reaction. The metal workpiece is immersed in an electrolytic solution, usually a sulfuric acid solution. The metal workpiece serves as the anode (positive pole), and after being energized, a dense oxide film is generated on the metal surface. The hardness of the oxide film after anodizing is high, which significantly improves the wear resistance of the surface and increases hardness and corrosion resistance.
At MTPL, we not only have our own assembly workshop, but also have die-casting machine, CNC machining, and surface treatment workshop with mature and stable process. Here you can customize everything you want to complete the design concept, we provide one-stop OEM/ODM customization service.
5. Six Things to Consider When Purchasing a Rechargeable Table Lamp
5.1 Can the wattage of rechargeable table lamp be 3W?
Yes, but we don’t recommend it. The higher the wattage, the higher the energy consumption, the faster the discharge, even if you use a 5000mAh battery with a 3W LED, the working time is only 4-5 hours.
If you use a 5000mAh battery with a 3W LED, it will only work for 4-5 hours. We suggest the most reasonable wattage range is between 1.2W-2W. Below is a detailed table of common battery capacities with 1.8W LEDs:
| Battery Capacity | LED Wattage | Usage Time | Charge Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1200mAh | 1.8W | 2-3.5 hours | 2 hours |
| 1800mAh | 1.8W | 3-4.5 hours | 2-2.5 hours |
| 2000mAh | 1.8W | 3-5 hours | 2-3 hours |
| 3600mAh | 1.8W | 6-8 hours | 3-4.5 hours |
| 4000mAh | 1.8W | 7-9 hours | 4-5 hours |
| 5200mAh | 1.8W | 10-12 hours | 5-6 hours |
5.2 Can I make touch switches on top of the light poles? (Adjust the brightness, turn on/off the light)
Yes, you need to insulate it well to avoid the switch malfunctioning. However, the touch area is too large to cause instability, and too sensitive may cause automatic lighting and other problems, so we do not recommend this.
5.3 Can we save the cost of the table lamp in terms of material?
Yes, we can. First of all, we provide three kinds of materials: iron, aluminum, plastic ABS, starting from your market positioning, we suggest using aluminum if you are in the middle and high-end market, and iron or plastic if you are in large quantities of wholesale.
5.4 Are there any other aspects that can be used to save costs?
Battery: Conventional rechargeable desk lamps usually use 3600mAh-5200mAh batteries to keep the usage time, if your target customers don’t need to use it for a long time, we suggest using 2000mAh batteries.
Reasonable Packaging to Save Shipping Costs: At MPLT most of our lamps are made with KD structure and specially designed packaging for this purpose, which can reduce the size of the package to save shipping costs and at the same time ensure the safe delivery of your goods.
5.5 Supplier Strength (to ensure product quality and delivery)
If the supplier has cooperated with famous foreign brands and supermarkets, it is the first choice. Because you will get timely and professional communication, you don’t need to worry about certification, product quality, delivery, payment methods and after-sales and many other issues.
5.6 Whether you have OEM/ODM customized services
With the above services, you only need to provide an idea, and the supplier can help you realize it, so that you can quickly bring the product to the market for feedback testing or iterative upgrading, thus reducing the cost of trial and error and improving operational efficiency.
