Argos £28 rechargeable lamp praised for 'soothing light'

Argos shoppers have been snapping up a rechargeable lamp that doesn't need a plug socket as the nights draw in and the days get darker. Priced at £28, the rechargeable lamp comes in a handy portable design and gives off a warm 'soothing' light that's perfect for autumn.

Design and Features

The mushroom-shaped silhouette and deep charcoal finish gives the lamp a unique aesthetic, with a touch sensor that allows you to switch it on and off with a single tap. With an integrated LED bulb, the lamp delivers warm light that creates a relaxed, welcoming feel, perfect for unwinding in the evening or setting the mood for guests.

It charges via the included 1m USB cable, so you can power it up from a laptop, power bank or any USB socket, and the battery lets you use it wherever you need light. The durable metal construction keeps it stable and sturdy, and it arrives fully assembled so you can start using it straight away.

Shopper Reviews

Back in the reviews for the Argos lamp, one shopper said: "This is brilliant for the dark corner in my kitchen. I think it's really cool. Yes it needs recharging but if you haven't got a socket you have to compromise. On full brightness it's a warm light, not harsh and it's very portable. I love it!"

A second review read: "Looking lovely inside and the outside is funky as well. different settings for different moods. Very happy with the purchase."

A third fan added: "Love this lamp, very soothing light in the room and can also be positioned anywhere without fuss of cables."

At the time of writing, the only negative review for the Argos lamp reads: "Such a lovely lamp, and I really wanted to love it, but sadly it wasn’t quite right for the space we placed it in. The closed shade means the light is directed downwards rather than upwards, so it doesn’t create as much ambient light as we were hoping for. Also the light is 'cool' rather than a 'warm' light."
