The Range's £22 lamp 'looks expensive' and replaces 3 items

The Adjustable LED Desk Lamp with Wireless Charger from The Range is currently on sale for 20% off, priced at £22.07 instead of £27.59. With a sleek, foldable design, the lamp boasts impressive features that make it a worthy investment.

Features and benefits

Perhaps its most important feature is that, with a CRI (Colour Rendering Index) greater than 80 Ra, it helps reduce eye strain and safeguards the eyes, providing optimal lighting for both parents and kids. It offers five dimming levels and three built-in colour temperatures: white, natural, and warm light. This means users can tailor the light for work, reading, and relaxation needs.

While its foldable design is ideal for those with limited space, it also has a rotatable structure that can adjust position and angle. While its main purpose is lighting, this lamp is a nifty three-in-one that can also charge our phone, show us the time, and serve as an alarm clock.

This makes it perfect as a bedside lamp for those of us who prefer a decluttered space next to the bed. Its wireless charging and fast USB plug-in are convenient and space-saving, while the digital display and alarm clock eliminate the need for an additional clock. Its soft leather-look style adds a touch of class, too, as opposed to your standard metal or plastic lamps.

Shopper reviews

Shoppers have left five-star ratings for the lamp across multiple platforms, with one user noting that it's replaced three items on their nightstand. They shared: "This lamp replaced my old reading light, phone charger, and bedside clock. The wireless charger works instantly when I set my iPhone down at night, and having the time and room temperature on the display means my nightstand is completely clutter-free."

Another shopper noted: "The light settings are excellent. Being able to switch from bright white light during the workday to a soft, warm glow in the evening makes a huge difference for eye strain. Touch controls are super responsive and smooth to dim."

A third added how its properties made the lamp seem a lot more expensive than its £22 price tag, and said: "Looks much more expensive than it is with the leather-style texture. The fold-flat design is great if you need to pack it away or move it, and the 180-degree swivel lets you angle the light exactly where you need it without blinding yourself."

Alternatives and considerations

For anyone wanting something a bit softer but still a multi-tasking whizz, the Desk Lamp with Wireless Charging from Amazon, £16.99, is a 4-in-1 dimmable LED Touch Smart Table Lamp. It not only emits ample light with a range of brightness and colour options, but also features a flexible 360° gooseneck, eye-friendly soft light, a wireless charging spot, a clock, and even a Bluetooth speaker.

If a charging feature isn't necessary and a decent-quality lamp is all that's needed, Dunelm's Lilou Integrated LED Touch Dimmable Table Lamp, £22, offers 'good manoeuvrability' and the option of 'low, medium and high' brightness. Not to mention it's easy to turn on with simply one touch.

While the lamp hasn't received any negative criticism yet, there are a few important things to note. While it offers wireless charging, the lamp itself is not wireless, meaning it requires a constant power supply to operate. As opposed to being rechargeable/cordless. Also, as this item is sold via The Range Marketplace (by Lai Beautiful LTD) rather than directly by The Range, it cannot be returned or picked up in-store. So something to keep in mind.
