Next shoppers say pretty lamp for plugless corners is always 'admired by guests'
However, a clever design from Next could be the solution. The popular retailer's White/Gold Confetti Glass Rechargeable Wireless Table Lamp, priced at €59, is quickly becoming a must-have for homes with 'plugless corners'. It offers a trendy yet practical solution to adding lighting to spaces that would otherwise be left in the dark.
With its stunning confetti glass shade and brushed brass base, this portable, rechargeable lamp brings both beauty and function to any room. The wireless design makes it the perfect option for those corners where a plug socket is out of reach. Its compact size makes it perfect for anything from a small hallway, to a lounge or a bedroom.
With a charge time of five hours, the lamp promises up to eight hours of use on a full charge. And because there's no need for permanent installation, it can easily be moved from room to room.
Customers have been leaving rave reviews for this pretty table lamp, with many highlighting how it fits perfectly into areas that would typically be hard to light. One happy customer wrote: "Great little lamp for corners that have no plug socket, really pretty and easy to assemble and charge up." Another added: "I brought this lamp for the corner of my lounge which has no electric sockets it's a beautiful lamp, the light it gives off is really bright and it is easy to charge and it last for hours, so impressed I have brought another one."
Shoppers also told how the lamp is often admired by visitors to their home. One review reads: "Delighted with this purchase. My daughter bought me the vase to match. its not a bright light but is adequate for my small hallway. It does need charging periodically but this has not been a problem. It is admired by visitors."
The aesthetic appeal of the lamp is also highly rated, with another reviewer mentioning: "Great lamp. Bigger and more substantial than expected. Once charged lasts a reasonable time. Throws a lovely pattern on the ceiling too. Glass is a nice weight not flimsy. Love it."
The wireless function was also praised, with one customer writing: "A very pretty lamp, which matches the vases I have. It can be located anywhere, since it is rechargeable. Fast to recharge. Pleasant light." Another shared: "Very pretty and love it. It's so easy to recharge and can be moved around so convenient to use."
However, one customer noted that the light may be a bit brighter than expected. They said: "A really nice lamp but I find it a bit too bright. I'm thinking of painting the bulb orange or yellow for a more relaxing glow." For more information or to buy it, visit Next Ireland's website here.
If you're looking for alternatives, Amazon sells the ZONJIE Rechargeable Table Lamp, which is wireless and battery operated, which is cheaper than the Next option, at €19.86 here. One happy customer explained: "My daughter has a dark inlet in her bedroom which just needs a bit of light and ambience in the evening. This lamp is perfect for that. I love the gold colour and the narrow style. It takes up hardly any room on top of her chest draws but provides just that little bit of extra light to brighten up the area. I like the fact that its USB chargeable so there are no annoying leads and there are also three different light modes with slightly different colours. It's excellent quality and looks fantastic in her room so I'm happy to recommend it."
Meanwhile, Homestore and More have the Regan Cordless Table Lamp, described as "the perfect blend of elegance and convenience" for €39.99 here. One reviewer said: "It works perfectly in an awkward space with no easy access to a plug. It looks dearer than it was."

Ireland will use EU presidency to advance competitiveness, Tánaiste told Amazon
Tech company Amazon has been told by Tánaiste Simon Harris that Ireland will use its presidency of the European Union next year to 'advance the competitiveness agenda'. Mr Harris also told executives from the online retail and cloud computing giant that Ireland has worked to 'control what we can control' in the current economic climate. This is a key Government message against a backdrop of uncertainty over US trade tariffs on EU goods. Amazon, which employs 6,500 people in Ireland and has invested some €22 billion here since 2004, has been vocal in recent years on the need for Europe to boost its competitiveness. Last month The Irish Times reported that the company has scrapped plans for a €300 million industrial plant in Dublin because it could not secure an electricity supply for the project. READ MORE Mr Harris, the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, met representatives of Amazon in Government buildings on May 21st. A Government note of the meeting was released after a Freedom of Information law request. It says: 'The Tánaiste referenced the current economic climate and listed a number of upcoming initiatives as Ireland worked to control what we can control. Steps in train include the summit on competitiveness and the Action Plan for Competitiveness and Productivity.' The note adds: 'The Tánaiste highlighted Ireland's presidency of the Council of the European Union from July to December 2026 where Ireland will also continue to advance the competitiveness agenda. Developments at EU level were noted including as regards simplification and supporting innovations.' During Ireland's eighth presidency, which it will share with Lithuania and Greece, Irish representatives will chair meetings of EU ministers in the EU Council, steer the council's legislative and policy agenda and lead engagement with other EU institutions. In recent months Amazon has been publicly pushing for measures it argues would improve EU competitiveness. These include easing 'regulatory compliance burdens' for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) regarding producer responsibility recycling schemes that deal with waste items such as packaging and batteries. Recent online posts show Amazon wants digital labelling of products, the 'smooth implementation' of a planned EU VAT 'one-stop shop', and better charging infrastructure for electric commercial vehicles. [ Amazon fiasco is bad news for Ireland Inc Opens in new window ] One of the participants in the meeting between Amazon and Mr Harris, the company's vice-president for EU public policy Lucy C Cronin, wrote last month that the current Danish presidency of the EU has prioritised a 'secure Europe' and a 'competitive and green Europe'. Ms Cronin said the Danish government 'plans to 'focus on regulatory simplification and better regulation in the EU to ease daily operations for businesses and other stakeholders''. She suggested two areas 'where the Danes can turn these aspirations into a meaningful upside for EU SMEs – and therefore EU citizens' are: 'The simplification of fragmented extended producer responsibility (EPR) schemes' and 'the progression toward digital labelling'. Amazon declined to comment on whether it has asked the Irish Government to focus on specific areas during its EU presidency. The other Amazon attendees at the meeting with Mr Harris were vice-president and UK and Ireland country manager John Boumphrey, Amazon country manager for Ireland Alison Dunn and AWS country lead Niamh Gallagher. The note of the meeting says Amazon updated Mr Harris on the launch this year of its Irish store of developments in its cloud computing business, and its climate action initiative. [ Staff at loss-making Amazon subsidiary in Dublin earned average €124,000 last year Opens in new window ] The meeting took place before the deal last month between the EU and US that sees 15 per cent tariffs apply to goods entering the US from the EU. The note says Mr Harris spoke about the Government's 'efforts to support industry' and its trade forum and how that body 'would be happy to engage with Amazon's sector'. Mr Harris is said to have 'highlighted the Government's willingness to work with the sector in navigating the present economic uncertainty'.

Next shoppers are loving a pair of strap sandals that have been significantly reduced in price. Next has reduced the White Leather Cross Strap Footbed Sandals from €80 to as low as €24 as part of its clearance sale. Shoppers will 'elevate' their 'summer style' with these sandals according to the Next website, which also points out that the style is fitting smaller than usual and that shoppers may wish to select the next available size up, reports Birmingham Live. Features include several chunky cross-straps, an ankle strap and buckle fastening. Material wise, the sandals are crafted from soft leather and will keep those wearing them 'cool and comfortable'. Next store (Image: Next) Sizes range between 3-9, however, due to their popularity, the only sizes remaining in stock are 3, 4 and 6.5, all of which are currently low in stock, so you'll need to act fast.
