Great home lighting can sometimes be unattainable, especially if you’re forcibly bound to plugs, sockets, and cables. Having the right lamps for your desk, workspace, and bedside is often the key to creating the perfect ambiance in your home. If you don’t get it right, you run the risk of straining your eyes and becoming increasingly frustrated whenever you need to read something.
If you’re tired of all the cords, a lamp that isn’t held to the demands of fixed wiring could be just the thing you’ve been looking for. On top of that, you might consider the newfound ubiquity of the USB port, which has recently broadened its scope from just phones and computers to include lighting fixtures, too.
Here are some of the coolest wireless USB lamps currently on the market that are perfect for any situation, regardless of whether it’s task or ambient lighting you’re looking to perfect.
