    Short answer: the cordless rechargeable metal table lamp, touch and dimmable, costs £52 to £60 depending on the version. It sits on a dining table, a desk, a sideboard or a terrace, with no socket nearby, and its brightness adjusts with a touch of the finger.

    What "cordless" and "dimmable" mean

    Cordless: the lamp runs on a rechargeable battery, so you move it with no cable or socket. Dimmable: you can vary the brightness, from very soft to brighter. Touch: you switch it on and adjust it by touching the lamp, with no switch. These three features are in the product title; for charging and details, refer to the product page.

    The best uses

    On a dining table, it creates ambient light for dinner. On a sideboard, it glows among the decorations with no cable. On a desk, it serves as an extra lamp. On a covered terrace or balcony, it saves running an extension lead. In a bedroom, it replaces a bedside lamp if the socket is far away.

    Adjust the brightness to the moment

    For dinner, turn it down: soft, warm light flatters faces. For reading or working, turn it up. A good setting makes the room comfortable without switching on the ceiling light. Place the lamp out of your direct line of sight to avoid glare.

    Think about charging

    A cordless lamp needs regular charging: make sure there is a socket near where you keep it. Charge it before a party or dinner so you are not caught out. For full operating details, see the product page.

    Cordless, but not for everything

    A cordless lamp is perfect as an extra or ambient light, but it does not replace main lighting. For a kitchen or a busy study, pair it with a pendant or a wall light. For gifts or rentals, on the other hand, it is the simplest solution: no installation, no drilling.

    A simple habit

    To get the most from it, adopt a simple habit: put it on charge every evening or every week, depending on use, and keep it near a socket. That way it is always ready when you have guests, without you having to think about it. It is the right habit for all cordless lamps.
