The Muse Portable Lamp in Hackles Black

Tala UK

£117.5

The Muse is a timeless portable light for the home. Inspired by the British pleasure garden, The Muse mixes the classic lantern aesthetic with ultra-modern technology. Designed for repairability, it features cordless long-life battery, Dim to Warm LED technology, and a custom integrated dimmer. Rated IP44, The Muse is suitable for even the outdoors. Hackles is an otherworldly hue, referencing the rich black and in some lights almost blue ruff of feathers at the base of a raven's neck. Its complexity only adds to its charm.

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.
