A cordless table lamp provides flexible lighting without a permanently visible cable. It can be used on a bedside table, in the living room, on the dining table or while camping. However, not every model is suitable for every purpose. Some lamps look decorative but do not provide enough brightness. Others advertise a long battery life without clearly explaining which brightness level this applies to.
A claim such as “up to 80 or 160 hours” usually refers to the lowest brightness setting. For a realistic comparison, you should also check the following details:
A rechargeable table lamp with a larger battery is not automatically brighter. Actual battery life also depends on LED power, brightness and the control system.
Atmospheric lighting with a warm colour temperature is ideal for the evening, but it does not necessarily replace a desk lamp. For functional lighting, lumens are crucial. A lamp with 105 lm is more suited to accent, night-time or background lighting. 400 lm offer considerably more flexibility for reading or working.
Colour temperature also affects how the lamp can be used:
An IP44 table lamp is protected against solid foreign objects measuring 1 mm or more and against splashing water from various directions. This does not mean that it is waterproof or suitable for heavy rain, standing water or immersion. For balconies and patios, the lamp should be stored somewhere dry and sheltered after use.
Using a model without a specified IP rating outdoors or in damp areas is not advisable. Always follow the safety instructions provided by the manufacturer.
A dimmable table lamp should ideally specify not only several brightness levels but also their range. Stepless adjustment from 5 to 100 per cent allows finer control than four fixed levels. A low setting is useful in the bedroom, while eating or reading may require more light.
A touch table lamp can be switched on and off conveniently by touch. Check whether the sensor is located on the top, on the base or on the cable. This can be particularly relevant around children and on small bedside tables, where accidental activation may be an issue.
Models with CCT selection offer several colour temperatures, for example 3,000, 4,000 and 5,000 K. An RGB table lamp adds coloured settings to warm white light. This function is primarily decorative and should not be confused with greater functional brightness.
A USB-C port makes charging easier, provided that you have a suitable cable and an appropriate power source. You should also check:
A portable table lamp should be easy to carry while still standing securely on a table, shelf or bedside table.

We have put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the safety regulations applicable in the EU.
Fully charge the lamp before using it for the first time and only use suitable USB power sources. If it has a built-in lithium battery, do not open the casing. Clean the surface with a soft cloth and observe the relevant IP rating.
For balconies and patios, the rule is simple: store an outdoor table lamp somewhere dry after use, do not leave it outside without protection for extended periods and never immerse it in water. Stop using the lamp immediately if the battery is swollen, the casing is damaged or it becomes unusually hot.
This depends on the battery capacity, LED power and brightness. The stated maximum battery life usually applies to the lowest setting. When planning your use, consider the battery life at your preferred brightness level.
Only if the manufacturer specifies an appropriate IP rating. IP44 means protection against splashing water, not complete waterproofing. An IP44 table lamp is suitable for sheltered areas, but it should neither be immersed nor exposed to heavy rain for prolonged periods.
LED lamps require comparatively little power during operation. Most of the energy consumption comes from recharging. The key factors are power consumption, daily usage time and the selected brightness level.
