Glowora Rechargeable Table Lamp

The Glowora LED Table Lamp from Delva Home is a slim vertical line of light with nothing else going on, which is exactly the point. At 33 cm tall and 5 cm across, it takes up almost no surface and suits a bedside table, a desk edge or a shelf where a conventional lamp with a shade would feel bulky. Six colours, orange, red, black, white, grey and brown, let it either disappear or act as an accent.

A built-in 1800 mAh battery means no trailing cable once it is charged. Four hours on USB gives eight to ten hours of light, so it comfortably covers an evening, and it can be carried between rooms or out to a balcony without thinking about sockets. Touch dimming runs the full range from a low night-time glow up to enough light to read by, controlled from a single point on the body.

That combination, portable, dimmable and quiet in design, makes it useful well beyond a bedside table: a dinner setting, a desk in a rented flat, a hallway console, a shelf with no power nearby. The polycarbonate body is light but solid, and the whole lamp draws just 3W. Charge it with any standard USB source and wipe it clean with a dry cloth.
