The best lighting gifts work the moment they come out of the box. Every light in this guide is cordless or plugs into a socket, so nobody needs an electrician, and each one comes with free tracked UK delivery.
For the bedside: a pair of cordless lamps
The Wren Rechargeable Mushroom Table Lamps come as a pair of 21 cm brushed gold lamps. A touch on the top switches each one on, dims it and changes the light between warm, neutral and cool white. They charge by USB with the cable supplied.
For a softer, traditional look, the Linford Rechargeable Pleated Table Lamps pair a cream pleated shade with a slim gold stem that extends from 32 to 39.5 cm. Each takes a warm 2700K filament style LED bulb, which is supplied, and buyers report around three hours at full brightness, longer when dimmed.
For renters: wall lights with no wiring
The Hollis Rechargeable Wall Lights give the look of wired wall lights without chasing cables into the wall. Each round wall plate fixes with two screws, the light clicks in, and its rechargeable bulb lifts out to charge by USB. Each light has its own remote for dimming and for switching between warm and cooler white.
The Strand Rechargeable Linear Wall Light is a 50 cm brushed gold rod on a magnetic disc. It turns a full 360 degrees, so it can hang upright, level or at an angle, and it lifts off its disc to charge.
For the art lover: a picture light
The Pemberton Rechargeable Picture Light is a 35 cm brushed gold light on a curved arm, with a 4000 mAh battery, a remote and a timer. It suits frames from about 50 to 90 cm wide.
For a reading corner: an arc floor lamp
The Clifton Gold Arc Floor Lamp curves over a chair and hangs a clear glass globe just above head height. It plugs into a standard UK socket and has a foot switch on the cable. It takes one E27 bulb up to 60 W, which is not included, so add a warm filament bulb to the gift.
