With September approaching, families are preparing for the school year, and a good desk lamp is a key item for students. The Range offers the Folding LED Touch Control Lamp for £17.95, a portable option for those with limited space.
Portable Design and Features
The lamp folds down flat for storage and is powered by 24 bright, long-lasting LEDs. It has three light modes, with intensity adjustable by touching the base. The brand explains that the first touch delivers 30% of total light output, a second touch goes to 50%, a third touch reaches full power, and a fourth touch turns it off. The ratcheted upstand is strong and stays in place.
The lamp can be powered by a 1m USB cable (supplied) or run on battery power, making it suitable for use anywhere in the house. It is also described as a great travel companion for reading at night without a power source.
Alternative Options
Amazon offers the Philips LED Amber Adjustable Desk Lamp for £24.88, which folds into its rectangular base for compact storage and features Eye-Comfort light to reduce eye strain. Dunelm’s Lilou Integrated LED Touch Dimmable Table Lamp costs £22 and has an adjustable head, angled stem, and a three-stage dimmer button powered by touch.
For a lower price, The Range also offers the Orion Rechargeable Desk Light for £4.99 (on sale from £8.99), which features two light strips that open and fold back down, along with a pen holder.
Shopper Reviews
While The Range does not yet feature reviews for the Folding LED Touch Control Lamp, the same product is available at B&Q and has received positive comments. One review read: “Perfect directional light. I bought this battery light to use on a hotel break 2 weeks ago. It was portable, neat when folded, lightweight and perfectly bright on the bedside table for reading. I also have used it on the side of the bath at home for reading.”
Another user wrote: “Great for when on the move, small but powerful light.” Someone else stated: “Great product, really bright and compact, easy to use and store.”
One reviewer noted a minor issue with turning it off, deducting one star: “A lovely compact light with 3 choices of brightness. A little annoying that you have to get to the brightest setting before you can switch it off.” They concluded: “Great for camping and very small rooms.”
