Rechargeable Mushroom Table Lamp

The difference between this and a mains mushroom lamp is that it goes wherever you go. A rechargeable cell inside the base means no cable, no outlet and no compromise about where the light sits, so it can move from a dinner table to a windowsill to a balcony over the course of one evening.

That portability changes how you use it. Cordless lamps make outdoor dining workable without running an extension lead, they light a table center where no outlet exists, and they can be lifted to a bathroom or a landing as a night light and returned in the morning. Restaurants have used exactly this trick for years.

The light is a warm dimmable LED behind the domed shade, adjustable through several levels by touch, and a full charge runs for many hours at a low setting. Charging is over standard USB, so it shares a cable with a phone rather than needing a proprietary dock. Keep the charging port dry and bring the lamp indoors when it is not in use outdoors.
