Dunelm's plug-in wall lights 'look way more expensive' and 'add a premium feel'
Dunelm customers have been singing the praises of a plug-in wall light that doesn't need an electrician to install. The retailer's range of lamps that simply need a plug socket nearby to get up and running are proving extremely popular, with buyers praising both the look and ease of getting them set up.
One of the them with an extremely high rating is the Churchgate Harby Plug In Wall Light that's priced at £40. The stylish light is designed with a white ceramic glazed head, and finished in an antique gold metal and complete with a white twisted cable.
For those concerned about having a cable on show, after all that's traditionally avoided, this particular one is designed in such a way that it's made to look stylish and natural, not like an ugly wire drooping down.
It is worth noting that a bulb is not included, so that will add a bit extra on top. Dunelm has lots to choose from, including the Lois Globe LED Dimmable Bulb (£8), while fancier options include the Status Spiral Filament Bumpy Bulb (£22).
Amazon also stocks the £55.89 KEESFU Plug in Wall Lights. These particular lights have an industrial design and come in a pair, so they cost a more affordable £28 each.
The Amazon lights also have an adjustable height option which is a nice added feature. B&Q also has options like the Harbour Studio Vara Plug-in LED Wall light priced at £37.
This features an antique brass finish that B&Q says "adds a touch of vintage charm to your space". The Dunelm Churchgate light has averaged 4.7 out of 5 from more than 150 reviews to date.
One said: "Beautiful Lights, look way more expensive. Thoroughly recommend these." Another continued: "Looks lovely, good quality and easy to install. Would recommend."
A third went on: "Amazing quality and really adds a premium feel to the bedside. Added these to a room refresh for a beachy look and feel and the quality is great. We've had lovely comments already and love the look."
Despite the overwhelmingly positive feedback, there were a couple of drawbacks highlighted. One such issue mentioned: "Lovely lamps, look more expensive than they are. My one gripe is the switch is a horrible cheap looking plastic one so you have to sort of hide it behind the lamp."
Another noted that the cable was "very kinked".

Maryland's first-in-the-nation tax on digital ads violated Big Tech's free speech, judges say
Maryland's first-in-the-nation tax on digital advertising violated the Constitution, a federal appeals court says, because blocking Big Tech from telling customers about the tax violates the companies' right to free speech. Supporters say Maryland needed to overhaul its tax methods in response to significant changes in how businesses advertise. The tax focuses on large companies that make money advertising on the internet such as Meta, Google and Amazon, who say they're being unfairly targeted. The ongoing legal fight is being watched by other states that are considering taxes for online ads. Maryland estimated the tax could raise about $250 million a year to help pay for a sweeping K-12 education measure. Maryland's law says the companies must not only pay the tax, but avoid telling customers how it affects pricing, with no line items, surcharges or fees, said the appeals court Friday in siding with trade associations fighting the tax. Judge Julius Richardson cited the Colonial-era Stamp Act, which helped spark the Revolutionary War, and wrote that 'criticizing the government — for taxes or anything else — is important discourse in a democratic society.' The plaintiffs contended Maryland lawmakers were trying to insulate themselves from criticism and political accountability by forbidding companies from explaining the tax to their customers. 'A state cannot duck criticism by silencing those affected by its tax,' the judge wrote. The unanimous ruling by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reverses a decision by U.S. District Judge Lydia Kay Griggsby and sends the case back to her with instructions to consider an appropriate remedy in light of the panel's decision. Trade groups praised the decision. 'Maryland tried to prevent criticism of its tax scheme, and the Fourth Circuit recognized that tactic for what it was: censorship,' said Paul Taske, co-director of the NetChoice Litigation Center, said in a statement. The law imposes a tax based on global annual gross revenues for companies that make more than $100 million globally. Under the law, the tax rate is 2.5% for businesses making more than $100 million in global gross annual revenue; 5% for companies making $1 billion or more; 7.5% for companies making $5 billion or more and 10% for companies making $15 billion or more. The law has been challenged in multiple legal venues, including Maryland Tax Court, where the case is ongoing. The Maryland General Assembly, which is controlled by Democrats, overrode a veto of the legislation in 2021 by then-Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican.

Amazon beats Dyson with £100 off cordless vacuum that 'makes cleaning so much easier'
Amazon beats Dyson with £100 off cordless vacuum that 'makes cleaning so much easier' Amazon has undercut Dyson on its 'most powerful' V8 vacuum cleaner, offering Brits more than 31% off. The Dyson V8 Advanced is 31% off at Amazon. Amazon has beaten Dyson as it slashes more than £100 off a cordless vacuum that's said to make cleaning 'so much easier'. In a new limited time deal, shoppers can pick up the Dyson V8 Advanced Cordless Vacuum Cleaner for £229. This represents a 31% price cut from the usual £329.99 and is slightly cheaper than Dyson's own £229.99 price tag. This model is touted as Dyson's 'most powerful' V8 ever, delivering 10% more suction compared to previous Dyson V8s. It boasts a digital motor that spins at up to 110,000rpm to generate 130 Air Watts of suction, with two settings including Eco mode or the more powerful MAX mode for more intense cleaning. It's powered by an advanced six-cell battery that provides up to 40 minutes of runtime, while a de-tangling motorbar cleaner head prevents tangles and sucks up long hair and pet hair from all floor types. This also ensures deep cleaning of carpets and removes dust and debris from hard floors. The V8 Advanced is said to be lightweight for quick and versatile cordless cleaning and can also be transformed to a handheld vacuum for getting into hard-to-reach places around the house and car. As well as the vacuum cleaner, buyers will also receive a combination tool for quick switching between cleaning and dusting tasks, plus a crevice tool for narrower spaces. Other affordable devices include the Shark PowerPro Cordless Stick Vacuum (£179.99), which is hailed for its 'exceptional cleaning performance' and 'powerful hair pickup'. Dyson V8 Advanced Cordless Vacuum Cleaner £329.99 £229 Amazon Get the deal here Product Description Amazon has slashed £100.99 off the Dyson V8 Advanced Cordless Vacuum Cleaner. There's also the Hoover HF1+ Home Cordless Vacuum Cleaner (£99), which comes with a specially designed tool for tackling pet hair. But for those sticking with Dyson, the V8 Advanced Cordless Vacuum Cleaner has achieved a 4.5-star rating after more than 3,500 reviews. One happy customer said: 'I'm really impressed with the Dyson V8. It's super lightweight, powerful and makes cleaning so much easier than I expected. I love that it converts to a handheld – perfect for the sofa and the car. The battery lasts around 35–40 minutes and it does a great job picking up even pet hair. It was worth every penny.' Another said: 'This is brilliant. The suction tremendous, and best of all the pet hair remover. I have three dogs and with all my other vacuums I had to clean the brush head constantly, but not with this one. I have used this several times now and not once had to clean the brush head.' 'It's lightweight, powerful and makes cleaning so much easier'. Article continues below Others have criticised the Dyson V8's 40-minute battery life, as this buyer said: 'The battery does not last long enough and the replacement is too expensive to keep purchasing.' While another five-star review said: 'Lightweight and easy to use, excellent cleaner. Purchased this for my elderly mother and she finds it easy to use. Powerful without being too heavy to push around. The battery lasts long enough to do the full house.'

Previously priced at a hefty £99.99, the device is currently available with a generous 30 per cent discount, bringing the cost down to just £69.99. This sophisticated D600 4K dash cam records the road comprehensively with front-facing 4K resolution and rear-facing 1080P resolution.

On the other hand, a less content shopper expressed: "Unfortunately this product is not fit for purpose. It cuts out constantly meaning I do not have the security of constant video coverage, which is the reason I bought this dashcam. "I reached out to the supplier for help, who initially replied to my concerns, but unfortunately I did not receive the hard wire kit offered - which apparently may resolve the issue, therefore I would recommend that you buy from a more reliable source as I feel this product has simply been a waste of money." However, a more satisfied customer commented: "One of my favourite features is the parking mode, which can be activated when paired with a hardwiring kit. It gives me peace of mind knowing my vehicle is being monitored even when I'm not around. "The included app is user-friendly and makes it easy to view live or recorded footage on the go. There are also plenty of settings to customize the dashcam to any preferences. All of this can be accessed by taking the included SD card out too."
