Cordless table lamp

Apex

Designed by Peter Ellis & Gabriel Tam · 2020

The Apex is a modern tribute to the Magill, the very first NEOZ cordless lamp, created in the 1990s for the Penfolds Magill Estate Restaurant. It keeps the original's pure, geometric lines in a compact, satisfyingly solid form, precision-milled from solid brass or aluminium alloy so it feels substantial in the hand.

Inside a clear cylinder, a milled metal cone catches a warm, glare-free downlight from the LED above, so the lamp glows from within while keeping the source out of the eye. It was awarded the Gold A'Design Award in 2021.

Choose from four finishes: polished brass, or anodised aluminium in fire red, mocha or silver.

A nod to where it began
The Tribute

A nod to where it began

The Apex is a tribute to the Magill, the very first cordless lamp NEOZ ever made, created in the 1990s for the Penfolds Magill Estate Restaurant. That original was defined by pure, simple geometry, and the Apex carries the idea forward: a clean cylinder and a precise inner cone, reduced to essentials and brought up to date. It is a modern object with a long memory, a quiet link between where NEOZ started and where it is now.

Milled from solid metal
The Making

Milled from solid metal

The Apex is precision-milled from solid brass or aluminium alloy, and it feels it: compact, dense and satisfying in the hand, with the weight and finish of a made object rather than a moulded one. The metal cone sits inside a clear cylinder, so the engineering is on show rather than hidden. It is a small piece built to a high standard, and it earned the Gold A'Design Award in 2021.

A warm glow, no glare
The Light

A warm glow, no glare

The light source sits at the top and washes down over the milled cone within the clear cylinder, so the Apex glows warmly from inside while keeping the LED out of the eyeline. The result is a bright but glare-free downlight that pools softly on the table, at home on a bar, a dining table or a bedside, wherever a compact, confident light is wanted.

Recognition
The Apex was awarded the Gold A'Design Award in 2021.

50h

Per charge

Up to 50 hours of light on low and 10 hours on high, from the UNO engine.

Built to be kept

Buy once, and keep it for years

Every NEOZ lamp is built around our light engine and made to be serviced, not discarded. Move the electronics between bodies, or replace a single worn part, and the lamp you buy today stays with you for years.

Replaceable parts

Fix the part, not the lamp

Battery, light source, diffuser and body are each replaceable on their own. Damage one element and you repair just that part, never the whole lamp.

MODULAR BY DESIGN

Change the body, keep the engine

The NEOZ light engine is independent of the body and lifts out to move between them, the heart of our modular design. Restyle to a new look, or replace a damaged body, while keeping the electronics you already own.

Service and repair

Looked after, wherever you are

Our service centre is in Sydney, and we accept lamps back from anywhere in the world for assessment and repair. More often we diagnose remotely and send the right parts with video instructions, backed by our online help centre, so your lamps keep working wherever they are.

Commercial grade

Made for the floor

Engineered for nightly use in five-star service, with all-day battery life, fast charging and charging solutions that scale from a single base to a 48-lamp station. Backed by an industry-leading 5-year warranty, and fully serviceable for the long term.

What inspired the Apex?

The Apex is a tribute to the Magill, NEOZ's very first cordless lamp, which was created in the 1990s for the Penfolds Magill Estate Restaurant. It reinterprets the Magill's pure, geometric form as a compact modern lamp, precision-milled from solid brass or aluminium alloy, and was awarded the Gold A'Design Award in 2021.

What kind of light does the Apex give?

The LED sits at the top of the lamp and washes down over a milled metal cone inside a clear cylinder, so the Apex glows warmly from within while keeping the source out of direct view. The result is a bright but glare-free downlight, well suited to dining tables, bars and bedsides.

What finishes does the Apex come in?

The Apex is available in four finishes: polished brass, and anodised aluminium in fire red, mocha and silver. The aluminium versions are lighter at around 520g, while the solid brass is more substantial at around 860g.

How long does the Apex run, and how is it charged?

The Apex uses NEOZ's UNO engine, giving up to 10 hours of light on high and around 50 hours on low, from a charge of about 5.5 hours, with a warm white LED at 2600K. It ships with a Charging Base that includes AU, UK, EU and USA wall plugs, and is compatible with NEOZ charging trays and stations for charging several lamps at once.

Can the Apex be used outdoors?

The Apex carries an IP52 rating, which offers protection against dust and lightly dripping water. It suits indoor use and sheltered outdoor settings such as covered terraces, but it is splash-resistant rather than waterproof, so it is not intended for fully exposed positions.

Is the Apex serviceable?

Yes. Every major part is user replaceable, including the battery and light source, and NEOZ offers repairs and servicing. Like all NEOZ lamps, the Apex is built to be maintained and kept for years rather than replaced.

A modern tribute, milled from solid metal

The Apex is a compact cordless table lamp from NEOZ, designed by Peter Ellis and Gabriel Tam as a tribute to the Magill, the first cordless lamp NEOZ ever made. Precision-milled from solid brass or aluminium alloy, it sets a clean metal cone inside a clear cylinder, so the LED washes down into a warm, glare-free glow while the source stays out of view. Awarded the Gold A'Design Award in 2021, it comes in four finishes, polished brass and anodised aluminium in fire red, mocha and silver.
