If you want to enhance the lighting in your home, the perception is that you’ll need to call in an electrician. But with technology evolving and batteries improving, there are now other options available. Rechargeable lighting is simple, effective, and incredibly versatile. And if you make the right choices, can genuinely enhance your décor.
Rechargeable Lighting Five Ways
Table lamps
Table lamps are a must in any room. But if you don’t have easily available wall sockets, rechargeable lamps provide a versatile solution in a range of styles. If you favour futuristic minimalism, then the Nordlux Faye could be the lamp for you. Prefer a more traditional style? The aged brass of the Nordlux Trobridge and Morton is prettily perfect. While Astro’s Zeppo lamp simply oozes cool. They’re all rechargeable, and they all look amazing.
Portable lamps
Portable lamps are nothing new. After all, we all have torches. But with inbuilt rechargeable batteries, lights like the Konstsmide Ravello and the Lutek Kozy offer something more. Providing the clear, soft light of a table lamp and the simple portability of a torch, but free from the ongoing faff and expense of alkaline batteries, these lamps are appealing and oh-so practical.
Wall lights
Wall lights can be such a lovely feature in a room. The problem is that fitting them can be really expensive. With rechargeable wall lights, like the Endon Burley collection, however, you simply have to mount the bases. With their appealing aged brass plate and choice of shades, these lights really carry the country home aesthetic. They’re dimmable, so perfect for mood lighting. And you can use them literally anywhere you have a wall.
Floor lamps
Rechargeable floor lamps, like the Konstsmide Pomezia can look like any other lamp. The reason you’d choose one is the flexibility it can bring. If you would like a reading lamp next to a chair where there’s no wall socket, you don’t need to worry about trailing cables. And because the lamp is outdoor rated, you can take it literally anywhere you need it.
Ceiling lights
It may sound unlikely, but you can even find rechargeable ceiling lights. Right now, the collection is limited. But with the Nordlux Sponge, you essentially have a portable ceiling light. ‘And what’s the use of that?!’ you might ask. Well, it’s probably more versatile than you think. You can use it to illuminate closets and understairs cupboards where no light is fitted. If you want an ad hoc porchlight without the electrics, you can just hang it up inside. If you have a high hook in the garden, or even a parasol, it can be hung to produce a really beautiful light. You could even take it camping!
Rechargeable lighting is no longer for emergency use only. It’s attractive, and versatile, and available in a whole range of styles. So, if you’re looking to enhance the way that your home is illuminated, but you don’t want the expense of an electrician, rechargeable lighting is definitely worth your consideration.
