Lidl is releasing a new 'atmospheric' lamp on Thursday, August 20 as part of its popular Special Buy offering. The supermarket releases new deals twice a week, typically on Thursday and Sunday, and the next batch of items to land in stores includes various homeware items.
Lidl's £7.99 lamp goes viral
The LED Table Lamp with Touch Function will cost £7.99 and is set to arrive in stores across the UK in a few days. Featuring a frosted glass shade to create a warm glow, the light includes an LED light bulb with an integrated step dim function.
The Lidl lamp has already gone viral online for looking similar to a much more expensive option at John Lewis. While not 100% identical, it resembles the department store's Cara Glass Touch Lamps, which cost £55 for a set of two.
The John Lewis lamp comes in a pack of two for £55, meaning each lamp is worth £27.50. However, this would still be around £19.50 more than buying from the supermarket, the Mirror reports.
Argos offers a cheaper alternative
While the £7.99 lamp is already a great budget-friendly alternative to the John Lewis set, a comparable option at Argos can be had for even less. The similar Opal Glass Touch Table Lamp typically costs £23 but has been reduced to £15.33.
Shoppers who combine this sale price with TopCashback's latest offer can get the lamp for under £1. TopCashback is offering new members of its free money-saving club a free £15 sign-up bonus as well as cashback on any purchase of £15 or more at Argos. This brings the Opal Glass Touch Table Lamp down to just 19p after cashback.
Existing TopCashback members will receive a slightly reduced rate of cashback. This makes the lamp 27p after the deal has been applied. Shoppers will need to make the initial £15 spend, but this money in the form of cashback will be returned to your TopCashback account ready to be sent to any bank or Paypal account. It's worth noting that cashback is not paid instantly and can take up to seven days to land in accounts.

Back at Argos, the Opal Glass Touch Table Lamp boasts an overall star-rating of 4.5 out of five based on 866 reviews. One satisfied shopper said: "Very simple design, match most decors easily. Light is good, low wattage bulb is best. Will be buying more."
A second wrote: "This bedside touch lamp is so good, no fiddling around to find a switch in the dark. Just stretch your arm out and touch the bottom, brilliant." "This lamp is excellent value for money," a third penned. "Looks good, easy to keep clean and gives a good light. I purchased two as kitchen counter lamps. Would recommend."
One shopper, however, wasn't overly thrilled with the Opal Glass Touch Table Lamp, giving it a three-star review. They stated: "Not worth for the price. It’s nice to look at but I don’t think it’s worth the price. It’s not even dimmable." "I’m pleased with the lamp but was frustrated to discover there was not a bulb included," another three-star review mentions. "It meant another trip into town to buy one. Could it not be made clear that there’s no bulb with the lamp?"
Nevertheless, someone else loved their latest Argos purchase, adding: "I purchased this a couple of weeks ago and am delighted with it. Quite bright with the suggested bulb but could be a lovely ambient glow with a lower wattage bulb. Simple but elegant design." Another five-star review reads: "It took a while to find this simple, very functional, classic lamp. Grab one while you still can. I'm very pleased with mine." "I am extremely happy with the two bedside lamps," someone else declared. "They are much better than our previous ones. They don't take up much room on our bedside units."
