Designed for exterior adventure

Exterior version of the Mayday lighting extends the original concept of multi-purpose light with resistance to adverse conditions. With an IP65 rating on the switch and IP44 on the plug, the light is ideal for use in gardens, on terraces, at the campsite or at evening barbecues. The robust construction and long 6m cable make it convenient to place the light exactly where it is needed.

Iconic design even in the open air

Although designed for the exterior, Mayday retains its distinctive, award-winning design. The handy hook handle makes it easy to hang from a branch, nail or gazebo structure, and also doubles as a cord winder. This clever and stylish approach makes Mayday not only functional, but also aesthetically appealing for any exterior setting.
