WHY CHOOSE A RECHARGEABLE LAMP?
AN ICONIC PORTABLE TABLE LAMP
The quality of our new cordless table lamps speak for themselves. Our clever design team have come up trumps with the Thorncroft and Kennington, producing easy-to-use, portable table lamps that beautifully combine the best vintage styling with modern LED technology, so you get an iconic lamp that looks both classic and modern and offers you all the advantages of rechargeable lighting technology.
As you would expect from Jim Lawrence, these wireless table lamps have been thoughtfully designed using the honest, natural materials we like to champion - in this case our signature solid, natural antiqued brass, to product a usb lamp that is weighty and feels as good in your hand as it does sitting on your shelf or tabletop.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A RECHARGEABLE LAMP?
PORTABILITY
As no cable or socket is required, you can carry a cordless lamp from room to room and place it wherever you need it, for as long as you want it. The Thorncroft and Kennington's compact size makes them ideal as bedside lights, for additional desk lighting, to boost reading light or brighten up a dark corner.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
LED bulbs consume far less energy than other bulbs. They use 80% less energy than halogen bulbs but are just as powerful. This makes them far more efficient and last a lot longer than other bulbs – up to 20% in many cases. The integrated, rechargeable battery means you don’t have to worry about constantly changing batteries.
COST EFFECTIVE
Using LED bulbs is one of the easiest and least expensive ways you can reduce your energy bills. According to the Energy Saving Trust, swapping halogen bulbs for LEDS could save you up to £45 a year in GB and £50 in Northern Ireland.
EMERGENCY USE
Having access to a reliable, powerful light during a power cut is a game changer. Our portable, battery-operated table lamps have a run time of 6-50hrs depending on brightness, so should easily see you through most blackouts.
ADJUSTABLE FEATURES
Our rechargeable table lamps enable you to adjust the brightness at the touch of a button. Just touch the button once for maximum light, hold it down to dim it to the required level and touch it again to switch it off.
INSTANT STYLE
These cordless lamps have a sleek, slender design and compact size that complements any type of interior, traditional or contemporary. Their specially designed lamp holder means you can style them up with a wide range of pendant shades in all shapes and sizes. You could even keep a few spare shades on hand to swap over for the season!
Portable table lamps open up a huge array of lighting possibilities in the home as you can move them anywhere to arrange, position and direct their light where you need it the most. The Thorncroft and Kennington are perfectly designed as neat, sturdy, smallish and incredibly versatile USB lamps that will suit any setting, so you can have fun carrying them around experimenting with where they look best. No need to worry about finding a permanent spot, just take them with you!
A COSY READING NOOK
Turn a neglected corner into a haven of calm away from the hubbub of the rest of the home by placing a portable table lamp next to a comfortable recliner, armchair or sofa, for instant light for reading and relaxing by.
BEDSIDE LIGHTING
The flexibility of dimmable lighting comes into its own in a bedside setting because it gives you more control over the levels of light you may want for getting up in the morning or relaxing at night. The lamp's' easy-to-use push button can be used to set the lighting level you require. Press it once for maximum light, hold it down to dim, and press it again to turn it off.
A STUNNING CENTRE PIECE
Tablescaping is all the rage and so easy to recreate with the help of a portable table lamp or two taking centre stage. Pop them in the middle of a dining table to elevate the space and pair them up with shades in contrasting tones to your table linen to add an extra layer of light and make a style statement.
MAKE EVERY SPACE WORK
Use a battery table lamp to illuminate those awkward areas in your home. Landings, mezzanines, attics or hallways without a plug socket can be turned into a visual treat with a cordless lamp. Pop it on a windowsill, chest or small shelving unit or occasional table, add a chair and some plump cushions and immediately you create a handy storage spot or interesting nook that is visually pleasing.
SOFTEN THE MOOD
If you are home alone one evening, or fancy a light supper for two, how about using a wireless lamp to give you a little extra mood lighting? Pack up your picnic and pop the lamp on a side table, ottoman or rug, by the fireside in winter, or near an open window in summer and you have instant lovely light for eating and relaxing by.
KITCHENS
Tasking light is essential in kitchens, yet there are often shadowy spots that could benefit from a boost. Pop your portable lamp on a dresser to brighten up a dark corner, or on a kitchen island or countertop to provide a bit of extra light for reading receipies or prepping food.
SHELVES, ALCOVES & INGLENOOKS
Whether you’re working in the kitchen or study, or fancy making a feature of your collectibles in a living room, many of us have high shelves in darkish corners or that this small table lamp was made for. Place it on any shelf and its great light output will brighten up the space and completely alter the focal point and feel of an over-familiar room.
STUDY SPACE
With more of us working from home, it's become increasingly important for us to find a space that we can use for working as well as relaxing at home. With a little imagination and careful consideration, almost any space can be turned into a study area, and what better way to light it than with a portable lamp that becomes an instant desk lamp.
