Dunelm's £30 Rechargeable Lamp Solves Socket Shortage Problems
Dunelm's £30 Rechargeable Lamp: No Plug Needed

Homeowners across the UK are celebrating a clever lighting solution from Dunelm that banishes dark corners without the need for a nearby plug socket. The Remi Rechargeable Table Lamp, priced at just £30, is receiving glowing reviews for its practicality and stylish design.

Portable Lighting with Five-Hour Runtime

The lamp features a scalloped design with a matte metal finish and natural wood details, creating an attractive addition to any room. Its key selling point is complete portability – users can place it anywhere without worrying about socket availability. With a five-hour running time per charge and a convenient flick switch, it offers both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

Available in Multiple Colour Options

Currently, the Remi lamp is available in three attractive colourways: green, heather, and natural. While the ashley blue variant shows as temporarily sold out, there remains hope for future restocking according to Dunelm's website. The lamp has earned an impressive 4.4-star rating from verified purchasers.

Customer Reviews Highlight Versatility

Satisfied customers have shared numerous positive experiences with the product. One reviewer named H appreciated how it solved their socket shortage problem, noting: "Just right for an area where there isn't a socket available. Like the height, which allows the light to spread well on the table below."

Another customer, Jube, commented on both its appearance and functionality: "Looks lovely on coffee table. Easy to charge and looks nice at night." Multiple purchasers have bought more than one lamp, with Anna stating she purchased her second unit because "it's enough to light up a dark corner."

Parents particularly appreciate the lamp's child-friendly applications. KT explained: "I bought this lamp for my daughter as we have a lack of plug sockets in her room. My daughter loves this lamp and uses it all the time at her desk, for building LEGO and drawing."

Considerations for Different Lighting Needs

While most reviews are positive, some users note the lamp provides ambient rather than task-oriented lighting. Sarah mentioned: "Purchased for my child's room as a bedside lamp, although it gives off so little light we are unable to read a book even though it's placed right next to the bed." This suggests the lamp works best for creating atmosphere and illuminating general areas rather than focused reading tasks.

Alternative Rechargeable Lighting Options

For those seeking different styles or features, several retailers offer comparable rechargeable lamps:

  • Dunelm also sells the FlexiCell Geneva Rechargeable Touch Dimmable LED Table Lamp for £30
  • John Lewis offers a Mushroom Rechargeable Portable Dimmable Table Lamp for £70 in taupe, navy, silver, red and metallics
  • Next's Hadleigh Rechargeable Touch Wireless Table Lamp costs £48 in ivory or black

The Remi Rechargeable Table Lamp represents an affordable, stylish solution for homes with limited socket access or those seeking flexible lighting arrangements. Its combination of portability, reasonable runtime, and attractive design makes it particularly appealing for bedrooms, living areas, and children's spaces where traditional plugged lamps prove impractical.
