Shoppers are praising a rechargeable lamp from Dusk, describing it as “so lovely and warm” and saying it “looks fantastic.” The Kirsty Rechargeable Bobbin Table Lamp in plum is priced at £25 and also comes in olive green.
The lamp features a playful bobbin-shaped base and deep plum finish. According to the site, this rechargeable table lamp adds both character and convenience to homes. It could suit those wanting to add a “pop of colour” to any space.
Key features and battery life
The Kirsty Rechargeable Bobbin Table Lamp measures 15.5cm x 15.5cm x 23cm, so it won’t take up too much room. It has a 3.5-hour charging time and, once charged, offers up to 12 hours of operating time, meaning shoppers won’t have to worry about the lighting running out too quickly.
The lamp resembles the Lacquer Rechargeable Bobbin LED Lamp from Addison Ross, which is priced at £126 and comes in several colours. That version offers up to 10 hours of battery life on its brightest setting and has three adjustable light levels.
Other Dusk alternatives in the sale
Other Dusk alternatives reduced in its 10th birthday sale include the Lucia Striped Table Lamp in red/white, currently £32, down from £39. The listing says the cylindrical base and matching shade create a cohesive and eye-catching silhouette.
There’s also the Birdie Rechargeable Pleated Table Lamp in black/white for £17, down from £29. It features a crisp white pleated shade and sculptural black base, and the bulb is included, so it’s “ready to shine straight away.”
Finally, the Tru Bow Rechargeable Table Lamp in gold is available for £18, down from £25. Described as “elegant, playful, and beautifully compact,” it features a softly pleated shade paired with a sleek gold-coloured base.
Shopper reviews and design notes
The Kirsty Rechargeable Bobbin Table Lamp has received many positive reviews from Dusk shoppers. One said: “This is a really lovely little lamp. The colour is a muted olive, which is just a lovely warm tone. The charge lasts ages and the choice of light settings is great. So good I ordered another!”
A second person said: “Lovely lamp for my kitchen as it adds character and colour - highly recommend and fantastic price.” A third added: “This lamp looks fantastic in my living room and has quickly become one of my favourite pieces. The colour and design are exactly as pictured, and the quality is excellent. It gives off a warm, soft light that creates a welcoming atmosphere, especially in the evenings. It’s both functional and stylish, and I’ve already had compliments on it from visitors. Very happy with my purchase.”
Another shopper left praise, saying: “Beautiful lamp that has three different light settings, holds its charge well. Very happy with it.” Another person wrote: “This is a quirky little lamp that provides a nice rechargeable light. It adds a nice pop of colour to my room and the bobbin design makes it a lovely unusual piece.”
Someone else commented on the price, writing: “Great value for money and they are really handy in that you can charge them up!” While another said: “Love it! Sits on my bedside table and the fact it’s rechargeable is great because I don’t keep catching a cord and pulling it off my table with lots of other things, which I am rather fond of doing with corded lamps. Love the olive colour and delivery was, as usual, faultless.”
Others left feedback, with one person saying: “Look great, hold (their) charge, nice light, shade can become loose. Overall, great value.”
Design reviewers noted that it lacks the bold, high-shine lacquered finish seen on luxury alternatives, such as the £126 Addison Ross version. They say that, because it costs £25, the finish is flat rather than deeply glossy.
For shoppers looking elsewhere, Dunelm has the Keko Rechargeable Touch Dimmable Table Lamp for £20 in three colours, offering a run time of six to eight hours with on/off touch control and dimmable settings. At M&S, the Rechargeable Metal Table Lamp costs £49.50 in chrome or antique brass, featuring a USB-rechargeable design, tall stem, sleek conical shade and square base.
