Set up The Muse Wireless Charger correctly, avoid common charging mistakes, and keep your portable lamp powered with practical placement and cable tips.
Quick answer
Place The Muse Wireless Charger on a stable, flat surface, connect its included power supply, and set your Muse lamp or other Qi-compatible device on the felt-topped disc. The charger is designed to accommodate the wide base of The Muse, so alignment is straightforward and you can also charge a phone or headphones.
Why the charger's design matters for your lamp
The Muse Wireless Charger is built specifically for the wide base of The Muse portable lamp, but it also works with other Qi-compatible devices. That dual purpose means you can keep one charger on a side table for your lamp and still top up your phone or headphones when needed.
The charger's black powder-coated steel disc is topped with felt, which adds tactility and helps protect the base of your lamp. The rubber underside keeps the charger from sliding, so your lamp stays put during charging.
When wired charging still makes sense
Wireless charging is convenient for overnight or desk-side top-ups, but it is not always the fastest option. If you need a quick charge before heading out, a wired connection may be more practical. Also, The Muse Wireless Charger requires a power outlet, so it is best suited for indoor use near a socket.
If you want to tidy pendant cables at the same time, consider the Cable Bracket in Brass. It lets you pin, loop, and suspend pendant cables in different configurations, which can complement a charging setup by keeping cables organized.
Step-by-step setup
- Choose a stable, flat surface: Place the charger on a level table or nightstand near a power outlet. Avoid soft or uneven surfaces that could let the charger tip. Check that the rubber base sits fully flat and does not overhang the edge.
- Connect the included power supply: Plug the charger's power adapter into a wall outlet and connect the cable to the charger. Use only the supplied adapter to ensure proper operation. Do not use a laptop USB port or a lower-power adapter, as it may not deliver enough power.
- Position your device on the center of the disc: For The Muse lamp, lower it so its wide base rests on the felt top. For a phone or headphones, place the device's wireless charging coil over the center of the disc. If charging does not start, lift and reposition the device—cases or thick covers can interfere.
- Check the charging indicator: Most Qi devices show a charging icon or light. If nothing happens, remove any metal objects or thick cases and try again. A steady charging light confirms the connection; a blinking light may indicate a foreign object.
- Keep the area clear: Do not place credit cards, keys, or other metal items on the charger when not in use, as they can heat up or interfere with charging. Make it a habit to clear the disc before setting down your lamp or phone.
