The Ultimate Guide To Portable Lamps

Create a glow wherever you go.

Atmosphere On Demand

Whether battery-operated or rechargeable, portable table lamps offer complete freedom. No cords. No limits. Just effortless illumination exactly where you want it. A simple way to layer warmth, add character, and make every corner of your home feel intentional and inviting.

THE POWER OF PORTABLE GLOW

Place one on your kitchen island to warm up early mornings. Set it beside the bath to create a spa-like retreat. Add a soft glow to your bedside for winding down with a book. Or carry it outdoors to extend alfresco dinners long after sunset (just be sure to protect it from wet weather).

The Highlights of Using Portable Lamps

No plug points? No problem. 
Our portable lamps allow you to enliven dark corners, shelves and coffee tables effortlessly. Beautifully designed in an array of elegant shapes and materials and with integrated LED bulbs, they are the perfect combination of form and function, especially our best-selling mushroom lamps. Extremely versatile, whether they are rechargeable or battery operated our cordless table lamps make a gorgeous design statement wherever you place them.

Portable Lamp Bulbs

Our portable lamps are designed with an integrated LED bulb. LED bulbs are energy efficient and do not get hot like old fashioned incandescent bulbs, they'll also last a very long time.

Battery Operated vs Rechargeable Lamps

Our portable lamps come in varying forms. Some of our lamps are battery operated so will require a change of batteries after some use, whereas our rechargeable lamps are charged via a USB connection (cable provided with your lamp). Each portable lamp has a different battery/charge life and varied features such as touch switch operated or different levels of glow. 

Why We Love Portable Lamps

More Ways To Style Your Portable Lamp

  • Create an intimate dining setting without overhead lighting
  • Add warmth to home office desks for a softer, more relaxed workspace
  • Highlight decorative objects or artwork with subtle accent lighting
  • Bring a welcoming glow to guest bedrooms
  • Use on coffee tables to create a layered, designer look
  • Elevate outdoor dinner parties and summer evenings (sheltered use only)
  • Add ambience to darker corners where plugs aren’t accessible
  • Style on open shelving for depth and dimension

Glow Outside

While our portable lamps can also be enjoyed outdoors, they are not waterproof or weatherproof. If you choose to use them alfresco, we recommend keeping them sheltered from moisture and bringing them indoors when not in use to keep them looking their best.
