Light up your home for less with the best battery LED table lamps

Our favourite pick is the John Lewis Mushroom Rechargeable Dimmable Table Lamp, which comes in handy if you want to refresh your home with trendy, domed lighting to your space. It has the versatility to make your reading nook feel super snug or even elevate intimate dinner parties. Coming in several colourways to fit your home's colour scheme, it's a reliable pick. What do reviews say?

Based on 133 reviews, this on-trend John Lewis lamp has an impressive 4.7/5 star average, with many reviews loving the quality and value, offering a subdued, warming light. For those of us who love a little quirkiness in our homes, this lamp fits the bill, to light up dark corners. By charging it once a week, one customer said that this mushroom lamp offers them discreet lighting for their hallway. They add that it's at a reasonable price. And, reviews agree that it's a good-looking lamp, on or off.

As for negatives, there aren't a great deal. Customers love this lamp - and so do we. However, there are a few things to note before you buy. If you're looking for a bright, dramatic light, this lamp may not be the best fit - as reviews say the glow is subtle and ambient. Though this little lamp can go everywhere, one customer says it doesn't stay charged for long enough - and they don't overuse it. It does last for up to eight hours - which may not be enough. So, bear this in mind.

Perfect for nooks that need a little subtle, warming light, this lamp is a great choice for your home. Plus, you're able to move it around from room to room, lasting up to eight hours. Just don't keep it plugged in - it'll likely damage the battery.

Next, the Kimi Adjustable Rechargeable Touch Dimmable Table Lamp has a quirky design - which will play up a space's playful charm. Available in several different colours for you to choose from, this lamp is a statement piece, in our eyes. Of all its features, we love the flexible stem the most, which allows you to customise the height and style for a good fit.

Unfortunately, there are no customer reviews for this product. Nevertheless, this product is a budget-friendly option, which will enhance your existing decor, blending seamlessly into a theme, or even add an outrageous pop of colour to your space. It's all up to you. As for usage, it has a three-stage touch dimmable feature and after a five-hour charge, packs in eight hours of night-time reading or just adds an ambient glow to your living space.

Our top pick is the Colby Rechargeable Lamp from Marks & Spencer, which is a stylish and bold addition to your space, especially in this blue colourway which is bang on-trend. With a curved base and large semi-circle shade, this lamp offers a unique peek into the minimalist style but could fit in quirky, maximalist, colourful homes, too. It provides a warm, ambient glow to any space.

What are the reviews saying? With a strong 4/5 stars, this lamp is said to be easy to put together and looks beautiful - especially outside. It has also been IP44 rated for indoor and outdoor use. So, you can switch it between the garden and indoors very easily. Another customer added it to a low-light, gloomy corner of a room where there are no electric sockets, and is pleased with the result. Easy to turn and off, as well as dim. But, are there any disadvantages of this product?

Marks & Spencer says that this Colby Lamp is not suitable as the main light for a room. The 2W bulb isn't the most powerful we've seen, with fewer lumens than others on this list. And, some customers agree that this lamp is a little too dim for what they were looking for. However, despite only providing a glow, it has three stages of light from its integrated bulb, which offers a little flexibility. Plus, customers are pleased that they aren't going to be tripping over cables.

Rechargeable for added convenience, this pick comes with an easy USB connection with wire provided. Its average charge time is around four hours for an eight-hour use, making it convenient for all those activities or nights spent in the living room that don't require the ceiling light on. For a stylish, versatile and adjustable ambient glow, we recommend this pick.

We and John Lewis both love their Talbot Rechargeable Glass LED Table Lamp for lots of reasons. Stylish and sophisticated, this rechargeable glass lamp is a great choice for any space, especially a house that oozes a classic, vintage style, sitting perfectly alongside delicate wooden furniture and soft furnishings. It can sit just about anywhere.

Unfortunately, there are no customer reviews for this product. Nevertheless, this is a stylish option for your home. The Talbolt is easy to recharge and has higher lumens than other picks on this list, meaning it's not as dim as you may think. Using the accessible USB charger, this light will last up to eight hours with each full charge; plus, the dimmer will help set the mood. The ribbed shade and detailing on the stem sets this lamp apart from the rest, for sure.

Next, the Philips Hue Go Rechargeable Table Lamp, White is a smart lap you can take around the house with you. Rated for outdoor use and available to customise - such as the silicone grip - this pick is easy to carry where you need light most - such as the dining table or reading nook. Though a rechargeable lamp, it's got a surprising amount of lumens, making it a bright addition to any space. And, with smart features, you can't go wrong with this phone-compatible Philips lamp.

As for customer reviews, it has an exceptional 5/5 star rating from John Lewis customers. What did they have to say? One customer commented that they're really delighted with this pick for its size, and versatility - with indoor and outdoor use - and can be controlled by Alexa or Google. Many customers say even though it's a tad expensive, the cost is worth it, as the great design offers unparalleled convenience to their lives with mood-setting colours, a dimmer and easy change via the app.

Any negatives? Honestly, there aren't many niggles, or little criticism on the John Lewis website besides the price. One customer says once you take everything into consideration, they think it is worth the price tag. Other than that, you are choosing functionality over style, which may suit your requirements and interior decor. So, just keep that in mind - it only comes in white, really.

Overall, Philips is a brand you can trust. For a long, long time, it has had a big part to play in technological innovation, mostly around lighting. The Hue range is a masterpiece, creating beautiful light for mood-setting, and parties and creating the right ambience for your home. We can't see any negatives with this one. It's smart, easy to carry and bright- perfect for all activities.

Brand new to Dunlem, this EGLO Meggiano Touch Dimmable Outdoor Table Lamp is equally stylish and functional. With its sleek and modern design, it's the right addition for your patio, balcony or garden. It's made of durable plastic, which has been designed to withstand the elements with IP54 protection; with a soft, gentle glow for a cosy ambience for your evenings spent outdoors.

Unfortunately, there are no customer reviews for this product - as it is a new lamp in Dunelm's extensive range of budget-friendly garden decor, furniture and more. Some of our favourite features include the cordless convenience, the touch-sensitive switch that allows for easy adjustment and the mood-changing dimmer and colour range (warm white, red, green and blue). For a sleek addition to your al fresco dinner, consider this EGLO lamp which can illuminate your nights in style.

The Pauleen Pure Glamour Portable Battery Lamp is our budget pick, with a trendy crystal look, making it a decorative highlight wherever you place it, flexible and cord-free. Adding an air of Art Deco and romance to every room, it's a decorative touch, not to mention inviting a cosy atmosphere whether dining with friends, reading at night or just providing a little more light in a dark corner.

Amazon customers have given it an average of 4.3/5 stars. One customer commented that it was exactly what they were after, hoping it would provide a low-level (and calming) light for their bedroom. They bought two for either side of their bed, which feels super cosy. This particular customer has taken advantage of the timer function for ease - and the batteries have lasted longer than expected. Overall, customers like the lighting, battery life, performance, value for money and size. Stylish, it gives a pretty glow - and the glass brings a vintage feel. Any negatives?

Some customers have gripes with batteries - citing "it eats battery power quicker", whereas others have been pleasantly surprised by the battery lasting. So, this may be down to their own batteries, as this is one of the few picks on our list that is not rechargeable. So, make sure to stock up on triple-A's. Another quibble a customer has is that the texture glass design can hold a lot of dust, making it harder to clean than most - just a nature of the design. So, keep this in mind before you buy...

Casting a muted, cosy light, don't count this budget pick out. It comes equipped with a timer function, several colourways to choose from and a beautiful glass luminaire, which is reminiscent of Art Deco styles that we remember fondly. Light wherever you need it, fuss-free and cable-free.

Though not a table lamp, we thought it was remiss not to include a floor lamp. The Twinky Rechargeable Floor Lamp from Pooky is a stylish pick, with the ability to be shuffled over to drab corners for a bit of brightening up. Dimmable, you're able to set your own feel to your space. To recharge, pop off the shade and plug it into a USB socket, which will provide you with ten hours of light...

As for customer reviews, the Pooky Floor Lamp has an average of 4.5/5 stars, with customers loving the look, finding it useful and easy to move around, perfect for tucking into a dim corner. One customer even takes it outside for summer evening meals. So, it's a versatile, small and handy pick. Further, the reviews like the quirky proportions and the ambience it creates in their homes.

Despite the reviews being mostly positive, there are a few niggles from these reviews, which we can't ignore. One customer found that the base is a little small - so, has a tendency to be knocked over a little easily. Houses with pets and children, beware - maybe this isn't the best pick for you. Another review said that this lamp is a little dimmer then what they were looking for. Indeed, a brightness of 202 lumens is rather low compared to plugged-in lamps, but it's not the dimmest lamp on our list.

Overall, customers are very pleased with their purchase, providing a warm and cosy light for dining and reading. A statement piece for their home, it makes a quirky addition - refreshing and functional.
