As the new school term approaches, many parents are focusing on essentials like lunchboxes, water bottles, stationery and uniform. For children with regular homework, having a comfortable, well-lit space to concentrate is important. With darker autumn evenings ahead, a desk lamp is a worthwhile investment, and home retailer The Range has several budget-friendly options, many under £20.
Other affordable desk lamp options
Elsewhere, Dunelm offers desk lamps including the Issac Table Lamp, available in blush, grey, graphite and white at £12 each. Amazon also has a selection, including a pink Rechargeable Desk Lamp priced at £18.99, down from £19.99. That model, also available in white, features a star projector and a pen holder.
Five The Range desk lamps to consider
Scalloped Table Lamp - £17.99
This scalloped table lamp is fashionable yet functional, suitable for style-conscious kids. The Range says matching light fixtures are also available, making it a good option for a bedroom desk. It is currently available in one neutral colour that should work with many decor styles.
Adjustable LED Desktop Lamp with Phone Stand - £10.99
Available in blue or cream, this lamp costs under £11 and offers glare-free lighting with adjustable brightness. It has a built-in phone and pen holder, ideal for older children. Its compact design makes it space-saving and suitable for reading. It is pictured in light pink, though that colour does not appear to be stocked currently.
Folding LED Touch Control Lamp White - £17.95
This lamp folds flat for portability, making it ideal for homework in different rooms. It can be directed precisely and offers three light modes. It contains 24 super bright long-lasting LEDs and has a three-step touch activation. It runs on 4 AA batteries, not included, or a supplied 1M USB cable.
Adjustable LED Desk Lamp with Wireless Charger Black - £22.07
A sleeker design suited to teens, this adjustable LED lamp is made to protect eyes from strain while providing optimal lighting. It folds for storage and includes an alarm clock and digital display for time and date. It also has a phone holder, useful but potentially distracting for older kids.
Adjustable Metal Desk Lamp With Flexible Arm White - £9.99 (was £11.99)
Available in several colours, some still at £11.99, this classic lamp has a flexible arm for precise light direction and an adjustable head. It offers a durable metal shade and sturdy base. It is mains powered, so less portable than battery designs, but is a budget-friendly buy under £10.
