Bedside touchlamp set with built-in USB chargers are ‘so easy to use’
Bedroom lighting is a crucial part of making sure your have the right atmosphere while still having good functionality. In addition, you want a light that’s easy to use, but also has some added value. And you can get just that with the Aooshine bedside lamp set on offer at Amazon, which is reduced by a whopping 22% from £45.99 to £35.98.
When it comes to good value for money, they’re touch-operated and they come with USB-C and USB-A charging ports and UK plug points. But a really standout functionality is that they can charge a phone, laptop or other electronic device of your choice from the USB point regardless of whether the lamp is on or off.
Depending on the mood you’re in, or if you want to read a book so need a brighter light, the lights are also three-way dimmable, with a smart touch sensitive sensor meaning it’s really simple to adjust between the three levels of brightness offered. You can choose between brightness settings of 30%, 65% and 100% just by tapping the metal base or lamp pole.
The pack of two lights also comes with 2 energy-saving LED bulbs, and a stylish linen white fabric lampshade which makes matching it with existing decor much easier. Thanks to its minimalist design and versatile size, you could use these lamps in any other room of the house to perk up a guest bedside table, or to add a bit of a pizzazz to a corner in the living room.
With a 4.6 star rating out of more than 2,100 reviews, they’ve really shone for those who’ve bought them. One five star review said: “These work very well. Neat and compact with simple touch control. Useful charging ports at the front.”
Another reviewer, who also dished out the full house of five stars, said they are: “Lovely lamps, easy to assemble, handy feature to be able to charge iPhone and watch. Not overly bright on 3 setting either, they stand just over a foot tall.” A major advantage pointed out by one person was that they are “so easy to use” and they added: “Very good value for money.”
One purchaser pointed out what they said was a bit of a downside in that they found the lights “pretty fiddly to use with smart bulbs”, which is worth noting. Another person who gave them three stars in a review said: “USB socket is very slow to charge but will do the job charging a phone by morning on bedside table.” So if you’re after a really zippy charge, then take note that this charge may take a bit longer.
There are other options out there if you wanted to shop around. If you’re after something that has a bit more bling to it, then have a look at the Anika metal USB table lamp available from Wayfair online for £39.99. Alternatively, Next has the chic Pod Rechargeable Battery Operated Touch Table Lamp for £25.
