sackit Light: How to use and charge the lamp
sackit Light are cordless lamps with a rechargeable battery that can stay outside in the rain and bring light to the terrace without any cables. Here you'll find the guide in one place: how to switch on the lamp and adjust the brightness, how to charge the battery and how long it lasts. At the end you'll find the safety advice for the oil lamp.
Short answer: You switch on sackit Light with the power button and adjust the brightness by holding the button down. The battery is charged with a USB-C cable, and on Light 155 and Light 250 you can also take the battery out and charge it in the Battery Charging Station. The indicator by the charging port is red while charging and green when the battery is full. Use a USB adapter of at least 5V/2A, and never charge the battery in or near water.
Which sackit Light do you have?
The Light series comes in several generations. The newest are Light 155 and Light 250 with a replaceable battery. Older models such as Light 100, Light 150, Light 200 and Light 350 are still in use on many terraces, so they're covered in the guide too.

How do you switch on the lamp and change the brightness?
You switch on and operate sackit Light with the power button. While the lamp is on, hold the button down to make the light brighter or dimmer.
- Light 100 and Light 200: Hold the power button until you reach the brightness you want, then let go. The brightness is saved, and the lamp switches on at that level next time. Only one brightness can be saved at a time.
- Light 150 and Light 200: From switching on to switching off you press 5 times in total. Choose the light level you want along the way.
- Light 155: Has three fixed light levels, and you can fine-tune the brightness manually. In the sackit App you can also adjust the colour temperature and control up to 100 lamps together or individually.
Tip: Switch the lamp off after use. It extends the life of the battery.
How do you charge sackit Light?
Charge the lamp fully before first use. The indicator by the charging port is red while charging and turns green when the battery is full.

What should you do if the lamp doesn't light up?
If the lamp doesn't light up or flashes, the battery is usually flat. Here's how to solve it:
- Charge the battery. Light 100 takes approx. 6 hours from empty to full.
- Check that the adapter and cable are properly connected.
- Use the right adapter: a USB adapter of at least 5V/2A.
- Check that the indicator by the charging port is red while charging and turns green.
How do you use the oil lamp safely?
The sackit Oil Lamp is for outdoor use only and must only be filled with lamp oil or citronella oil, never petrol, kerosene or other flammable liquids.
- Filling: Remove the cap and unscrew the wick holder by pressing it down and turning it anticlockwise. Use a funnel to fill no more than 520 ml of oil, and never near an open flame. Wipe off any spilt oil before lighting.
- Wick: It should stand 3–5 mm above the wick holder and soak up oil for 5–7 minutes before lighting.
- Lighting: Use a long match or lighter. If the flame burns very high or smokes heavily, put it out, let the lamp cool and adjust the wick.
- Putting it out: Place the cap over the wick. Don't touch the cap or lamp until they have cooled completely.
Important: Keep the oil lamp away from children and pets, both in use and in storage. For small children, even a small drop of lamp oil or sucking on the wick can cause life-threatening lung damage. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting; seek medical help or contact a poison centre immediately.
