Adjustable Cordless LED Table Lamp

The problem with lighting a garden table is that the only socket is indoors. This lamp removes the question entirely: it runs on an internal rechargeable battery, so you carry it out, set it down and light the table without a cable crossing the doorway. Bring it in at the end of the evening and charge it ready for the next one.

The head swivels and the arm adjusts, which matters more than it sounds. Angled down it puts warm white light onto the table where the food and the glasses are; tipped up it bounces light off a wall or a parasol for a softer glow across the whole seating area. The body is a metal casing rather than moulded plastic, so it has enough weight to stay upright on a slightly uneven patio table, and it measures a compact 21.5 by 6.5 centimetres.

Black is the quieter choice against dark rattan or metal furniture; white stands out against a stone patio and reads brighter in daylight. It is equally useful indoors as a bedside or console lamp when you want light exactly where you want it and nowhere else. Charge fully before first use, bring it indoors in heavy rain or frost, and wipe with a dry cloth rather than hosing it down.
