The Practical Side of Table Lamps: What Makes Ours Different
The majority of people choose table lamps based on how they look. Maybe it's the colour, the shape, or how they match the space. And while appearance matters, the real value of a lamp manifests in daily use, how it works, how it holds up, and how easy it is to live with.
At Table Lights, we design our lamps to do more than just sit and shine. We think about what happens after the lamp is placed. Does it stay steady on a busy table? Is it easy to wipe clean? Can it handle a spill or a bit of rough handling? Can you adjust the light without getting up or unplugging anything?
This guide walks you through the practical side of our collection of table lamps. We'll cover what makes them safe, simple to care for, and useful in real life.
5 Advantages of Rechargeable Table Lamps

1. Durable and Easy Maintenance
Lamps don’t just sit still. They get moved, touched, bumped, and sometimes knocked over. A busy café table, a family dinner, or even a quiet garden setting can bring spills, marks, and the occasional accident. That’s why how a lamp is made matters just as much as how it looks.
We choose materials with everyday life in mind. Each one offers something different:
-
Plastic is light and resistant to breaking. It’s useful in places where lamps are moved often.
-
Metal gives a solid feel and holds up well to daily use. If you want a sleek, durable option, the Imagilights Demoiselle Small cap offers a structured look.
-
Glass or crystal-style finishes bring a softer feel. The Imagilights Djobie Plisee Table Lamp offers that elegant appearance with scratch-resistant acrylic that’s easy to clean.
Most of our lamps have smooth surfaces, so they’re easy to wipe down with a cloth. This is especially helpful in places where tables turn over quickly, like restaurants, lounges, or events. A clean lamp helps keep the whole space looking cared for.

2. Kid-Friendly and Crowd-Proof
In high-traffic spaces, safety and stability are just as important as style. Whether it’s a family dining table, a café corner, or a shared outdoor area, a lamp should stay securely in place while adding to the atmosphere.
Thoughtful features you can appreciate from our table lamps include:
-
Weighted Base: The Villeroy & Boch Modena rechargeable table lamp has a wide and weighted base to help prevent tipping and a stepless touch dimmer to set the right mood.
-
Versatile Design: Free from wires, the Fermob Aplo table lamp can be stood upright or suspended over any surface, making it also suitable as a hanging light. With a rugged exterior, it’s also ideal as a portable camping light.
For places that welcome children, such as restaurants, cafés, or family homes, these features make a significant difference. You can keep the space feeling warm and relaxed. Moreover, you’ll gain peace of mind knowing that you’ve chosen lighting fixtures that help you avoid messy accidents and costly replacements.

3. Easy Charging and Long Battery Life
Our cordless lamps run on rechargeable, built-in batteries, allowing you to place them where needed without worrying about nearby sockets or unsightly cables. To guarantee reliable illumination, check the following in the product description before buying:
-
Charging time and battery life often depend on your priorities. For quick use, cordless lamps like our Villeroy & Boch Bergamo fully charge in just 2 hours and provide up to 6.5 hours of light. If longer performance matters more, the New Garden Lola Lux 20 takes 6 hours to charge but can stay illuminated for up to 50 hours, and even doubles as a stylish table centrepiece.
-
Convenient charging stations make it easy to power multiple table lamps at once. For example, the Filini Classic charging trolley can charge up to 24 lights simultaneously. Simply place each lamp on its compatible dock, and charging begins automatically. This streamlined system allows staff in commercial spaces to reset lamps between shifts or at the end of the day without extra steps or tools.
-
Light indicators on our table lamps signal when charging is complete. This helps avoid overcharging and keeps the battery in better condition over time.
4. Remote Control Convenience
Lighting should be easy to manage, especially in spaces that change throughout the day. Our table lamps can come with remote controls that allow you to adjust the lighting quickly and quietly, without having to move things around or disturb others.
For a modern design with remote options and strong battery life, consider the Villeroy & Boch Seoul Table Lamp. It’s simple to use and blends well into both modern and classic interiors.
With the included remote, you can:
-
Turn the lamp on or off from a distance.
-
Adjust brightness levels to suit different times of day or settings.
-
Choose between lighting modes (for example, warm, cool, or neutral light).
This is especially useful in:
-
Restaurants where lighting might change between lunch and dinner service.
-
Cafés and lounges that shift from day to evening use.
-
Events and functions, where lighting needs may change during the programme.
-
Home settings, like bedrooms or outdoor patios, where getting up to adjust a lamp isn’t always convenient.
Some table lamp models also support group control, so you can manage several lamps with one remote, saving time and effort in larger spaces.
Remotes are compact and user-friendly, with simple buttons and clear symbols. Batteries are included, and replacements are easy to find if needed. You can store the remote in a drawer or on a magnetic holder, depending on the model.
For added support, each product page includes a quick guide that shows exactly how the remote works, with instructions included in every box.
5. Flexible Warranty and Simple Replacements
We understand that things can go wrong, even with well-made products. That’s why all our table lamps come with a warranty. This covers any faults in the materials or in how the lamp was made.
If a lamp stops working properly during the warranty period, we’ll help you resolve the issue. In most cases, we can offer:
-
A replacement unit if the fault cannot be fixed.
-
Replacement parts, such as charging cables or remote controls.
-
Clear steps to return the item if needed.
For lamps with long-term reliability and flexible support, the Sompex Eono Rechargeable Table Lamp is a strong option. It’s well-supported, easy to care for, and parts are available if needed.
You won’t need to fill out long forms. Just contact our support team with your order number, a short description of the issue, and a photo if possible. We’ll guide you from there.
We also keep spare parts on hand for many of our models. So if something small goes missing or breaks, like a charger, remote, or lamp shade, you don’t need to replace the whole lamp.
Full warranty details, including how long it lasts and what it includes, are listed on each product page and in your user manual.
