Overview

The LENA lamp by FARO is a table lamp designed for those who spend time reading, studying or working at home. It can be placed on any flat surface — a desk, a bedside table, a shelf — and provides neutral white light that does not strain the eyes. The Touch Lamp system allows you to turn it on and off with a simple touch, without having to search for buttons in the dark.

The FARO brand has been manufacturing home lighting fixtures for decades, striking a clear balance between functionality and finish. This modern lamp in gloss white fits well in both neat, minimalist rooms and home workspace environments where lighting truly matters.

Installation and specifications

This lamp does not require a fixed electrical installation. It connects via the included adapter to any standard 220V–240V socket. Simply place it on a stable surface, plug it in, and it is ready to use. No tools or electrician are needed.

The translucent glass diffuser should be cleaned with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or harsh liquids on the aluminum and ABS body. Do not handle the lamp with wet hands or leave it near direct sources of moisture.

Design and use

The LENA lamp has a compact structure that takes up little space on the desk. At 485 mm tall and only 220 mm deep, it fits well on small desks, bedside tables, or any corner where a localized light source is needed. Its aluminum and ABS body with a gloss white finish gives it a clean, contemporary look without drawing too much attention. It is not a lamp that dominates the space, but one that completes it.

The translucent glass diffuser distributes light softly, without creating bothersome reflections or pronounced shadow areas. The 4000K color temperature corresponds to neutral white light, which is comfortable both for reading and for working in front of a screen. It is not the warm light of a decorative bedside lamp, nor the cold light of an office. It sits at a midpoint that works well in various contexts.

In a bedroom, it can be placed on the bedside table as an alternative to a bulkier bedside lamp. It provides enough light to read without disturbing someone sleeping nearby, especially thanks to its 70° beam angle, which concentrates the beam in the direction it points. In a living room with a reading area, it works well as a supporting lamp on a side table or a low piece of furniture. It also fits in home offices and work areas, where the clarity of the light matters more than the atmosphere.

The touch system — known as Touch Lamp — makes switching on and off immediate with a single touch on the base or designated body. There is no physical switch that can break with daily use. It is a small detail, but one that is appreciated after extended use.

In terms of consumption, the 3W of the included SMD LED represents a very low energy cost. The lamp comes ready to plug in: there is no need to buy a bulb separately or look for a compatible adapter, as it is already included. It is one of those products that you take out of the box and it works without any intermediate steps.

The gloss white finish combines well with furniture in light tones, lacquered surfaces or light-colored wood. On a white desk or a natural wood bedside table, it integrates effortlessly. It can also accompany other decorative elements without competing with them. Its design does not imitate any specific historical style, making it compatible with modern, Nordic or simply neutral interiors.

The weight of 1.33 kg gives it stability on the surface. It does not move easily with an accidental bump, which is appreciated when it is on a bedside table or on a desk with limited space available.

There are specific situations in which a table lamp makes a real difference. Think of a dining table where someone works in the afternoon before the rest of the family arrives: the lamp illuminates exactly that area without needing to turn on the entire room. In a living room with limited general lighting, placing it on a side table near the sofa turns that corner into a functional space for reading or checking your phone. It takes up no more space than any similarly sized decorative object, but it provides something that decoration alone cannot.

The LENA lamp also works well in spaces where different uses coexist throughout the day. A table that serves as a desk in the morning and becomes an auxiliary side table in the living room at night does not need two different light sources. With this modern lamp with a discreet profile, the same light source accompanies different moments without looking out of place. The white finish does not impose a specific style, making it easy to fit into rooms that combine furniture from different eras or materials.

Those who prefer a warmer atmosphere at night sometimes combine this lamp with another, dimmer one on the bedroom bedside table. The 4000K lamp is reserved for active reading moments, while another, softer light source creates the background ambiance. This is a common solution in bedrooms where there is a desire to clearly separate active time from rest time.

The aluminum body conveys a sense of solidity that is not always found in table lamps in this price range. When resting your hand on it to activate the touch system, you can feel that the structure does not flex or vibrate. That level of stability is especially important when the lamp shares table space with other objects — an open book, a glass of water, a laptop keyboard. There is no risk of an accidental bump displacing it.

If the available space is limited, the dimensions of this desk lamp allow it to be placed even on narrow surfaces without taking up the space needed for working or reading. The 115 mm length and 220 mm depth make it compatible with small surfaces where a larger lamp simply would not fit. This is an advantage in compact apartments or in rooms where every centimeter of surface area counts.

The connection port to the adapter is cleanly integrated into the body, with no cables protruding in awkward directions. The cable run can easily be directed toward the side or back of the desk, keeping the surface tidy. In this sense, the design takes care of the details that affect everyday use, not just the visual appearance.

Questions and answers

Does the lamp include the light source or does it need to be purchased separately?

The LENA lamp includes an integrated 3W SMD LED and the electronic adapter required for its operation. No additional components need to be purchased.

Does the Touch Lamp system work by touching any part of the lamp body?

The touch on/off function is enabled on the designated area of the lamp body. It does not require pressing any conventional physical switch.

Is the 4000K color temperature suitable for reading before sleep?

4000K corresponds to neutral white light, suitable for reading and working. If a warmer, more relaxing light is preferred for the bedside table, this should be taken into account before purchasing, as this lamp does not allow the color temperature to be changed.
