Sowden have focused on improving the performance of the battery powered models, typically suitable for restaurant tables and bar counters where mains power is impractical, as well as indoor and outdoor home use.
 
The PL2 is fitted with a custom designed and made SOWDEN LED light source. It has an integrated touch sensitive dimmer control and a unique screw-in fitting that allows it to be replaced when necessary.
 
The PL2 lamp also contains two 18650 lithium-ion rechargeable batteries and rather than only relying on lengthy recharging them in the lamp, when flat, they can also be changed easily with fully charged replacements, permitting immediate use. In restaurants, batteries can be swapped during service without ever leaving guests in the dark.
 
For home use, you can recharge as when required with the supplied USB connector. The lamp can be used for an indefinite period of time when connected to USB.
