Have you ever wanted to put a lamp next to the sofa that’s floating in the middle of your living room but couldn’t because the sofa wasn’t close to an outlet? We hear you. It’s definitely frustrating, but not impossible!
Today, I’m going to share with you 20 of our design team’s favorite cordless lamps. In fact, a few of them we recently presented to a new client. These LED battery-powered lights (charge them like you would your cell phone), are just as stylish as their corded cousins and can easily illuminate the dimmest corners of a room. And since they are portable (no cord, remember?), they can be taken anywhere, even outside…to the patio, the park, the beach…wherever you want to shed a little light on the subject and outlets are nowhere to be found.
Cordless lamps are attractive, practical and flexible…how cool is that?!
Here are a few of our favorites…

WHAT TO CONSIDER | SIZE
Tabletop size cordless lamps are among the most popular because they are easy to move from room to room or wherever light is needed. For a desk, you might want to consider a taller table lamp. If you are choosing a cordless lamp for ambience, size is less of an issue, so choose a lamp that fits the aesthetic of your space.

THINGS TO KNOW
How long does a cordless lamp stay charged? Depending on the lamp design and brightness settings, a lamp can hold a charge from two hours up to 100 hours.
Are battery-powered LED lights safe? Yes, battery-powered LED lights are safe to use.
What are lumens and how are they different from watts? The wattage of a light bulb refers to the power consumed by the bulb. Lumens refer to the brightness of the bulb. For example, a 25 watt incandescent bulb would give you about 325 lumens, while a 5 watt LED would give you about 390 lumens. The higher the lumens, the brighter the light; fewer lumens means it’s a dimmer light. As you can see, LED lights in general are much more efficient. (Rose on the House)
How many lumens do cordless lamps give? It depends on the the light. Night light type lamps may emit 50 lumens, while some working lights may emit more than 1,000 lumens. Most household cordless lamps, however, fall between 100 and 600 lumens.
