THE LIGHTING COLLECTIONS
Fermob, a long-standing outdoor furniture brand, has grown to become a leading name in battery-powered, smart, portable lighting. The brand’s first portable lamp, Balad, was released in 2015. This was the starting point for a ground-breaking, diverse range of lighting products backed by R&D expertise from in-house resources, key partners (Smart & Green and IPW), designers and new employees. Fermob approaches every new product development with a manufacturer’s eye, building on its own knowhow and bringing the best partners on board.
A dedicated work team for a concentrate of expertise and a short development process for an accelerated launch rate!

The brand’s lighting products take their cues from modern-day lifestyles and from history. They bear all the hallmarks of Fermob’s DNA : simplicity, attention to detail and, of course, visual appeal. These collections reflect the brand’s positioning as a comprehensive outdoor environment specialist and are very much in tune with the times. Fermob offers a multitude of options (lighting stools, portable lamp, table lamp or lamp to be mouted) which, coupled with a wide range of accessories (stands, brackets, hanging straps and more), add up to a unique user experience adapted to each moment in life.
Fermob’s lamps complement one another perfectly, offering the ultimate versatility : use them as table lamps, floor lamps, mobile lamps or wall-mounted to take with you as you go. Most models are wireless and boast an extended battery life, charging easily on a base or via USB cable.
The LED light sources are kind on your pocket and on the environment. But that’s not all: they also allow you to adjust the colour temperature (measured in °K) and brightness to create your preferred lighting mood.
Because the entire range is designed and manufactured to stringent criteria, these products come with our quality guarantee:
• Premium materials and electrical components (aluminium, polyethylene, LEDs, glass, etc.),
• Use of materials recognised for their outdoor robustness, sourced from globally recogniseds uppliers,
• 100% polyester powder coating, resistant to UV rays,
• A dedicated quality team.
All of our lamps undergo a two-step certification process :
• At the design stage, our products are tested for durability, ingress protection and other criteria against the requirements of IEC 60598, NF EN 60529 and similar standards.
• Fermob sends the complete preproduction model to SGS for certification against the relevant standards.
IEC 60598 : IEC 60598 specifies the general safety and performance requirements for electric light sources operating at supply voltages of up to 1,000 V. It sets out the requirements and related tests for classification, marking, and mechanical and electrical construction.
IP index : Defines the degree of protection provided by the equipment against the penetration of solid matter (first figure) and liquid matter (second figure). The rating ranges from 00 to 68 (according to standard NF EN 60529).
IK index : Defines the strength of a device against knocks and impacts,but not against falls. The test is carried out with a steel vertical or pendulum hammer. The rating ranges from 0 to 10 (according to standard NF 62262).
SGS : SGS is the world’s leading inspection, testing, analysis, and certification body.
Lamps May Be Disassembled For Recycling

PRODUCTS THAT CAN BE TAKEN APART FOR END-OFLIFE RECYCLING
Recycled And Recyclable Packaging
Fermob turns our everyday products into new resources, and we are firm believers in getting the packaging just right - using eco-designed packaging that contains as few raw materials as possible.
Fermob has been a member of the French CITEO recycling scheme for many years.
Fermob has worked with ECOSYSTEM which manages waste electrical and electronic equipment and with Screlec which recycles batteries.
Fermob has always strived to design and manufacture products with the utmost respect for the environment and that meet the eco-responsible expectations of its customers.
As part of a continuous improvement process, combined with proven “light quality” expertise, the brand offers lighting solutions that bring together eco-design, environmentally-conscious materials and processes in order to use the appropriate amount of energy. We also pay close attention to the life span of our products, with our entire offer evolving in this direction.
As of September 1, 2021, Fermob provides detailed information on lighting sold on the EU market, which is available by scanning the QR code on the new energy labels. A new energy consumption analysis method has been implemented, which leads to a change in the labelling of all household electrical products including light sources and lamps (Luminous flux ≥ 60 lm), applicable in Europe. In response to these changes, we will modify all our product labels on all new packaging as follows:
QR code redirecting to all technical specifications of the lighting, its materials, dimensions and product information
What changes are implied for Fermob lighting?
• the energy label is no longer placed on the packaging of the lighting (classes will no longer be displayed)
• the energy information of the light sources will be integrated in the EPREL database and can be consulted via the QR code of the energy label
• repairability pictograms will now be added to the energy label indicating which parts can be replaced by the end consumer or by a professional.
WHERE CAN I DISPOSE OF MY END-OF-LIFE LAMP?
Manufacturers and consumers have to follow certain rules on the management of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). Further guidance is provided in the form of regulatory markings in user guides and on packaging.
This symbol means that the lamp must not be disposed of with normal household waste.
At A Waste Disposal Centre
These facilities, which are normally run by the local authority, will take your end-of-life products and ensure their disposal via the appropriate channel.
In Store
Retailers are required to accept and dispose of end-of-life lamps sold by them. This requirement applies equally to small, independent stores and specialist superstores.
With The Manufacturer
Manufacturers will take your end-of-life lamps and ensure their disposal via the appropriate channel.
