Sompex Lamps Singapore 2026: Troll, Volume, Boro, Ronda & More — Complete Buyer’s Guide

Sompex is the German half of the cordless lamp conversation in Singapore. Most buyers arrive at the brand through Zafferano first — the Poldina is the lamp that defines the category — and then look across at Sompex when they want something the Poldina does not offer. A different aesthetic, a longer runtime, a wider range of formats, or an engineering specification the Italian range does not match.

The complication is that the Sompex catalogue is structured differently from Zafferano’s. Where Zafferano builds around a flagship range, Sompex spreads across multiple product families with distinct characters — the pleated-shade Troll, the minimalist Volume, the rotating-head Ronda, the bottle lamp Top 2.0. Without a map, the range is hard to navigate. This is the map.

Where Sompex Sits In The Category

Sompex is German. The brand is engineering-led rather than designer-led. Where Zafferano credits Federico de Majo as the signature designer behind the Poldina, Sompex does not lean on a single design figure — the identity is the technology and specification rather than a named creator. This shows up in the spec sheet. Several Sompex lamps reach battery runtimes that the Zafferano range does not match — the Volume runs up to 170 hours; the Troll Table Lamp up to 96 hours; the Ronda between 13 and 96 hours. The IP ratings are solid across the catalogue, with IP54 appearing across the Troll, Troll Nano, Ronda, Tubo, and Pulse ranges.

The trade-off is breadth without a single dominant product. The Zafferano Poldina is the one product that defines its brand. Sompex has no equivalent — the Troll comes closest as the most recognisable Sompex silhouette, but the range stretches across meaningfully different design languages. For the buyer who wants design specificity, this is a longer browse. For the buyer who wants engineering options — a longer runtime, a specific control mechanism, a format the Italian range does not offer — it is the deeper catalogue.

The Sompex Families at Luxe Lights — Full Detail

Troll Table Lamp and Troll Nano — The Signature Sompex Family ($218–$298)

The Troll’s pleated aluminium shade is the most recognisable Sompex design — a lamp silhouette that reads as distinctly German without leaning on heritage in the way Villeroy & Boch does. The pleated form is functional as much as aesthetic: it distributes light softly around the shade without a harsh hot-spot, creating ambient warmth suited to dining and living room settings.

The Troll Table Lamp ($298) is the standard size: Ø11cm × H38cm, 2.4W LED, 230 lm, IP54. Touch sensor on top for continuous dimming and two warm white colour temperatures — 2700K and 3000K. Battery rated at up to 96 hours maximum; charging base included. Available in Copper, Gold, Olive Green, Rose Gold, Sand, Black, and White.

The Troll Nano ($218) is the compact tier: Ø6cm × H21cm, 1.6W, 165 lm, IP54. The smaller body holds a smaller cell — rated at up to 52 hours maximum. Two colour temperatures — 2200K and 3000K — giving a slightly warmer range than the Troll Table Lamp. Available in 14 colours including Anthracite, Blue, Copper, Gold, Grey, Olive Green, Orange, Pink, Rose Gold, Rust, Sand, Silver, Red, and White. Charging base included.

Both Troll variants are IP54-rated — suitable for covered balconies, terraces, and outdoor dining settings. For buyers who want a Sompex lamp for an outdoor context, this is the starting point.

Volume — Maximum Battery Life in a Compact Form ($258)

The Volume is arguably the most technically impressive lamp in the Sompex range at Luxe Lights. At Ø9cm × H16cm it is compact, but its 1.6W LED delivers 200 lm across three colour temperatures — 2200K, 2700K, and 3000K — controlled by an intuitive touch-and-twist mechanism. The standout specification is battery life: up to 170 hours maximum, with a 6.5-hour charge time from the included charging base.

This is the lamp for the buyer whose primary requirement is that charging never becomes a conversation topic. At 170 hours maximum and a realistic ambient use runtime of many weeks between charges, the Volume removes the recharging routine almost entirely. The design is minimalist with a retro undertone — a cylindrical form that reads differently from the Troll’s pleated character or the Boro’s sculptural geometry. Available in 11 colours including neon options (Neon Green, Neon Orange, Neon Pink, Neon Yellow), neutrals (Sand, Grey, Black, White), and accent tones (Apricot, Pink, Turquoise). IP44-rated — suited to covered indoor and balcony use.

Ronda — The Adjustable-Head Reading Lamp ($328)

The Ronda is the lamp in the Sompex range that does something none of the others do: its head rotates 360°, allowing the light cone to be aimed precisely at a reading position, a work surface, or a wall wash without moving the lamp itself. Two light modes — a focussed reading light for concentrated work, and a soft ambient mode for relaxed settings — are selectable via the touch dimmer on the lamp head, with continuous brightness adjustment within each mode.

Battery life ranges from 13 hours at full brightness down to 96 hours at minimum dim — a wide range that reflects the broader power draw at full task-light output. IP54-rated for covered indoor and outdoor use. Charging base included. Available in Anthracite, Sand, and White. At $328, it sits at the upper end of the Sompex table lamp range, justified by the rotatable head and dual-mode functionality.

Top 2.0 — The Bottle Lamp ($188–$218)

The Top 2.0 is a product category of its own. It is not a standalone lamp but a rechargeable LED unit that sits in the neck of any standard bottle — transforming a whiskey bottle, champagne bottle, or wine bottle with a special memory into a functioning table lamp. Charged via USB-C, rated for up to 40 hours on a charge, IP44.

The light functions go beyond warm white: the Top 2.0 offers two warm white settings (2700K and 3000K) plus RGB colour in 12 shades with an automatic colour-change mode. At $188–$218 in 23 colours — including neons, metallics, and classic neutrals — it is the most playful and gift-oriented product in the Sompex range. For a hospitality setting, a bar counter, or a buyer who wants to repurpose a meaningful bottle, the Top 2.0 occupies a format no other lamp in the Luxe Lights range covers.

Pulse — Floating Filament, Entry Price ($118)

The Pulse is the entry point to the Sompex range and visually the most distinctive lamp at Luxe Lights at this price. The LED filament appears to float unsupported in mid-air within the lamp body and can be moved. Three settings: 15% brightness, 100% brightness, and a pulsating light mode. IP54-rated, USB-C charging, up to 50 hours maximum. Available in 11 colours including the full neon range. At $118, it is the most affordable lamp in the Luxe Lights range with outdoor-rated IP54 certification.

Boro and Boro Table Lamp — Sculptural Statement Pieces ($268–$388)

The Boro is the design-statement end of the Sompex range — an architectural silhouette with a sculptural form that reads very differently from the pleated Troll or the cylindrical Volume. Two variants are stocked: the Boro ($268–$388) in Gold and White, and the Boro Table Lamp ($268–$388) in Anthracite, Rose Gold, Rust, Space Grey, Black, and White. For the buyer who follows interior design, has a considered point of view, and would notice something unexpected on a dining table or console, the Boro is the Sompex pick.

Tubo — Dual-Head Precision ($328–$538)

The Tubo is available in both table and floor formats. The Tubo Table Lamp ($328) is a cylindrical aluminium form in Anthracite, Black, or White. The Tubo Floor Lamp ($538) scales the same design to floor scale with one or two independently rotatable 360° heads, each with its own touch sensor — the most directionally precise lamp in the Sompex range at Luxe Lights. IP54, up to 120 hours maximum battery at 3000K warm white. For a buyer who needs to aim light at a specific reading or work position, the Tubo Floor Lamp’s dual independent heads give control that no other lamp in the range provides.

Garcon Floor Lamp RGBW — Premium Format ($968)

The Garcon is the premium floor lamp in the Sompex range and occupies a different category from the table lamps above. The RGBW specification means it produces the full colour spectrum in addition to warm white — making it suited to accent lighting, hospitality settings, or buyers who want a lamp that can shift the mood of a room beyond the warm-white register. Available in Anthracite and White. At $968 it is the highest-priced lamp in the Sompex range at Luxe Lights.

LED Decorative Bulbs — The Accessories Range ($45–$65)

Sompex produces a range of decorative LED bulbs designed to sit inside transparent or open-frame lamp bodies. Several are stocked at Luxe Lights: BE HAPPY ($65), CAT ($45), DREAM ($55), F*** ($55), FLAMINGO ($65), FOLLOW YOUR DREAM ($65), and HEART ($55). These serve a different buyer from the cordless table lamp customer — someone who already owns a lamp with an open or transparent shade and wants the bulb itself to be the visible design feature. The Cubic Base for Bulb ($65, in Acrylic, Aluminium, and Black) allows these bulbs to be used as standalone desk pieces without a separate lamp body.

Sompex For Outdoor Use

IP54 appears across multiple Sompex families at Luxe Lights — the Troll Table Lamp, Troll Nano, Ronda, Pulse, Tubo Table and Floor — which means outdoor variants are available across different price points and aesthetics. For a covered Singapore balcony or terrace, any IP54-rated Sompex lamp handles the humidity and light rain conditions reliably.

For direct rain exposure on an uncovered terrace, IP65 is the standard to look for. The Sompex range at Luxe Lights does not currently include an IP65-rated table lamp — for that specification, the Zafferano Poldina Table Lamp (IP65) or the Villeroy & Boch Bergamo (IP65, 90h maximum battery) are the confirmed options.

How Sompex Compares To The Alternatives

The three brands at Luxe Lights serve distinct positions. Zafferano is the design-led Italian house with the Poldina as the recognised flagship — IP65, stepless dimmer, wide colourway range, the lamp most Singapore buyers encounter first. Villeroy & Boch is the heritage-led German house with over 275 years of European craftsmanship, anchored by the Modena and Seoul ranges in the cordless category.

Sompex is the engineering-led German house. Less immediate brand recognition than Zafferano, less heritage register than Villeroy & Boch, more functional variety than either. The right pick when the spec sheet leads the decision — the longest battery runtime in the category (Volume at 170h), a lamp that works with any bottle (Top 2.0), a rotating-head dual-mode reading lamp (Ronda), or a specific Sompex aesthetic that does not exist in the Italian or Villeroy & Boch ranges.

For most buyers, the first lamp will still be a Zafferano Poldina — the design is the most-recognised and the format is the most flexible. The second lamp is often where Sompex enters: a specific runtime spec, a particular aesthetic, or a format the Poldina does not cover.
