The Muse 2.0 Portable Lamp in Candlenut White

Tala UK

£275

An iconic British lantern, refined for today. Designed to move effortlessly between indoors and out, it's crafted from durable, repairable materials and delivers up to 30 hours of dim-to-warm light. Built for modern living, The Muse 2.0 represents a more thoughtful design, one that values longevity, simplicity, and atmosphere. Candlenut is a classic off white, named after the flowering Candlenut tree whose processed fruit was used as a sustainable lighting fuel alternative before electricity took over in the late 19th century. This chalky soft hue is both sophisticated and understated.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as TALA ENERGY LIMITED, number 08362941. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
