Description
The Gloster Ambient Cocoon is a rechargeable hanging lantern that combines a soft polypropylene shade with a natural finish teak handle and an integrated LED light unit, creating warm ambient light for terraces, pergolas and outdoor dining areas without visible cabling.
Key Features
- Teak & Polypropylene Construction: Cocoon pairs a smooth white polypropylene shade with a solid natural finish teak handle for a tactile, lantern‑like look.
- Solar & Mains Rechargeable LED: The integrated LED light unit can be charged by mains power or via the top‑mounted solar panel, so you can use it plugged‑in or completely cable‑free.
- Remote‑Controlled Dimmable Light: A radio‑frequency remote offers 8 light output settings, with a working distance of up to around 35 m (approx. 65 ft) for effortless dimming.
- Warm White Glow: 18 integrated LEDs produce a warm 2700 K light with adjustable output between roughly 100 and 180 lumens – ideal for background illumination rather than harsh task lighting.
- Long Battery Life: On a full charge, the lithium‑ion battery provides around 8–10 hours of light on the maximum setting, enough for a full evening outdoors.
- Outdoor‑Ready: With an IP64 rating the light unit is protected against dust and splashing water, and the lantern is supplied with a 2.5 m hanging wire for flexible positioning.
Teak Finish
Natural Teak Handle
Teak Material & Care
Natural Weathering
Gloster uses only natural finish teak. Left outdoors, teak gradually changes from golden‑brown to a light silvery grey as pigments in the outer surface fade; this weathering process typically takes 6–24 months depending on exposure.
This colour change and the appearance of small end‑grain cracks are normal characteristics of outdoor teak and do not affect structural performance.
Cleaning & Protection
Teak needs only occasional cleaning. Wash once or twice a year with water and a mild detergent or Gloster Teak & Upholstery Cleaner, brushing in the direction of the grain and rinsing thoroughly. Never use a power washer, which can erode the softer surface fibres and leave the wood rough.
On weathered surfaces you can apply Gloster Teak & Upholstery Protector to help repel moisture and reduce food and drink staining; table tops benefit from treatment twice a year (typically spring and autumn).
To maintain the fresh, brown colour, new teak can be sealed with Gloster Teak Sealer once a year, with Teak Protector applied on top. Teak should not be painted, varnished or oiled for outdoor use – extra oil can trap dirt and promote mildew, turning the surface black and requiring aggressive sanding to correct.
Warranty, Complaints & Returns
2026 Warranty Terms

To report a possible warranty issue, Gloster asks for clear photos of the problem (overview and close‑ups), the product code, batch number and country of origin from the silver label, proof of purchase, installation location (e.g. coastal, inland, near a pool) and a brief description of how the damage occurred, all supplied in a single email.
