Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Vela Daybed with adjustable backrest and canopy suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the matte finish is weather-resistant and designed for outdoor use. The lacquered finish is intended exclusively for indoor use.
Which color can be illuminated?
Only in the color ice, and only in the matte finish. The body is translucent in this color – no illumination is possible with any other color or in the lacquered finish.
What does the lighting provide?
The white LED emits light at 3000 Kelvin (warm white). All mains-powered and battery-powered versions are protected to IP65 and are therefore approved for wet areas, designed for ambient temperatures up to 40 °C. The cable versions include a 4–5 m long white cable with an EU plug. The RGB versions with cable or battery come with a wireless remote control (RF433, 10–15 m range), which allows you to switch between colors and shades of white. CE, RoHS and UL certified.
How long does the battery last?
The Li-Ion battery (12 V) lasts 6 to 8 hours depending on the model. The charging time is around 5 hours, the battery is designed for approximately 500 charge cycles; the charger is included. The battery-powered version is also protected to IP65.
What do I need for the Wi-Fi control?
The Wi-Fi versions operate with a DMX-1024 decoder via a 2.4-GHz wireless signal. This allows several lights to be controlled simultaneously. Important: The controller itself is not included – optionally as a home Wi-Fi controller (compatible with iOS and Android) or as a professional DMX controller with an XLR connection.
Which cushions are available?
Three fabric categories are available: 1A and 1B, 1C, and 2 – they differ in material and price. Depending on the fabric category, clean the covers and store them as dry and protected as possible if the furniture is left outside for longer periods; the body itself is simply wiped with water and mild cleaner.
