Full details
The HAY Host Portable Rechargeable Lamp is for individuals seeking adaptable, stylish lighting for various indoor and outdoor settings. Its key benefit is providing a warm, adjustable light source that is easily transportable and can be secured magnetically or with its included base, offering convenience and aesthetic appeal. A potential caveat is the varying battery life depending on the model (Host Portable 220 vs. 300), requiring users to be aware of their specific model's runtime. This compact, cordless lamp features a slim profile, a downward-facing light, USB-C recharging, and a 'Sleep Mode' for transit.

Troubleshooting
Lamp does not turn on

Light flickers or is dim
The battery may be low. Recharge the lamp. Ensure the dimmer is adjusted correctly. If flickering persists after a full charge, contact customer support.
Magnet is not holding the lamp securely
Ensure the metal surface is clean and free of debris. Test the magnet's strength on different metal surfaces. If the lamp has been dropped, the magnet may be damaged.
