9. Light It! by Fulcrum

13. Sunklly Solar Lantern
Traditional style lamps from the olden days have such a nostalgic charm. Sunklly may look just like a lantern from Victorian times, but it’s actually a solar-powered lantern.
The lamp even ‘flickers’ just like a real candle lantern would. You can use it for garden parties, mood lighting, a nightlight, or a soft light during power outages. Sunklly LED Solar Lantern is also waterproof, making it perfect for camping.

The next time you need outdoor table lamps, look no further than the Giravolta Lamp. This amazing cordless lamp uses lithium batteries that come with a USB charging outlet for ultimate portability.

15. Dorcy
The Dorcy isn’t quite as pretty as the other lamps on our list, but it’s been a best-seller for decades thanks to its tough design and powerful bulb.

17. Evergreen Garden Solar Lantern
Having just gone through a power outage after a storm, I now see how valuable a portable lantern can be. Evergreen Garden’s Solar Lantern is perfect for camping trips, outdoor events, and power outages. With up to 100 lumens, the lantern easily lights your way.
Evergreen has two methods of charging: the solar panels on its top and a USB cord. Light settings on the lantern let you dim it all the way down to 25 lumens to extend its use.
18. Rattan Solar Lantern
If you’re looking for a subtle outdoors light, this is the one. Crafted from natural rattan vine (which has been fumigated and sundried), from a distance the Rattan Solar Lantern looks like a birds’ nest.
The interlacing rattan makes striking shadows on walls and floor, with a soothing dim glow.
19. LED Touch Lamp
The Elecstars LED Touch Lamp is two-in-one mini lamp has a touch-activated dimmable light and an integrated Bluetooth speaker, along with a built-in microphone so you can pick up phone calls hands-free.
The whole thing is tiny – a little larger than a can of beans – and the speaker produces a surprisingly powerful sound for something so compact. Kids will love that you can make the lights flash different colors in time to the music; if you prefer something more sedate for your bedtime reading, you can also set the light to plain white.
20. Lantern Kartell
This portable LED Lantern Kartell designed by Fabio Novembre is the peak of modern design. Its luxurious design boasts of sophistication and classic usage while adding a contemporary feel to any room in which it is applied.
Portable lighting with a steady base, you can take it anywhere with you while still providing an eye-catching piece that many people will want to talk about when they visit.
21. Transloetje
The Transloetje is a riff on the classic table lamp, with a transparent body that makes a feature of the filament light bulb inside. It even features an old-fashioned fabric-wrapped electric cord inside, but instead of plugging into the wall, the cord connects to a USB charger.
The body comes tinted in a rainbow of shades, from simple grey or colorless to bright violet or orange.
