“This table lamp is absolutely beautiful it is lovely on my bedside table, it shines and is so well finished off. Looks a lot dearer than it was.”

M&S shoppers looking for a stylish way to add a little extra light to their homes are turning their attention to the Rechargeable Bubble Glass Globe Table Lamp – a compact design that does away with the need to keep it beside a plug socket. Priced at £39.50, the lamp combines a textured bubble-glass globe with a modern metallic base in either black or antique brass.
The rechargeable aspect makes it particularly versatile as rather than being permanently plugged in, it can be charged via the supplied USB-C cable and then moved around the home as needed. M&S states a full five hour charge provides up to eight hours of use at full brightness.
A useful homeware piece for evening ambiance, the centre of tables, hallways, or other spots where access to a socket is limited, the table lamp doesn’t take up much space so can be placed almost anywhere. Marks and Spencer describe it as suitable for creating a softer glow, rather than a main light source.
Flexibility and style appear to be the main appeal among shoppers. Reviews on the M&S website include those who have used the lamp in areas such as bedside tables, kitchens and even outdoors.
With a 4.6 rating on M&S from 21 reviews, the lamp is proving popular with those that want the convenience of cordless lighting without sacrificing how it looks. One person said: “Bought 2 of these for bedside cabinets, they look fantastic on and off.”

The rechargeable aspect makes it particularly versatile as rather than being permanently plugged in, it can be charged via the supplied USB-C cable and then moved around the home as needed.
As we head into autumn, another buyer wrote: “Great table lamp, easy to recharge – so handy now nights are getting darker.” And a third pointed out: “Been looking for something like this for ages. These are perfect. Small, modern, portable. Ideal for places where I have no plugs. Looks great on the hall console table.”
Leaving feedback, a concerned shopper noted ‘it feels a little fragile’ so it may not be best suited for households with pets or young children. There are other table lamp alternatives that are also rechargeable should this be a priority.
At Dusk, the Lucille Ornate LED Rechargeable Wireless Lamp (£35) brings a touch of sophistication with a warm brass finish and a cream shade. Shoppers say it looks ‘very classy’ and is ‘lightweight’ so easy to move around the home.
For a more similar style to the Marks and Spencer table lamp, and with the same rechargeable aspect, there’s this White Terrazzo Rechargeable Touch Wireless Table Lamp (£38) from Next. The exposed bulb contrasts beautifully against the terrazzo base and one person noted ‘it gives off good light’.
Leaving a five star review for the Marks and Spencer Rechargeable Bubble Glass Globe Table Lamp, a happy shopper said: “This was bought as a lamp/nightlight for our spare room. Three light settings make it ideal for our needs as sometimes will be reading light for adults and sometimes a nightlight for a two year old.”
Someone else commented: “I’ve been looking for a rechargeable lamp for a while but wanted one that had a bit of style to it – this fits the bill. I’ve bought it to use in the hall/stairs where there isn’t an electric socket.”
