6 Best bedroom lamps under £50 for 2023

Thinking of a bedroom as a purely functional space has long past. Today, it’s an excellent retreat from the busyness of life. A place to relax and unwind alone or with loved ones.

 

One’s bedroom is a superb place to catch up on TV after a long day in the office, snuggled with a hot cocoa under the duvet. When done right, your bedroom is also an enjoyable place to savour long weekend mornings with coffee and a book. Even, if the paperback has long been replaced by a tablet!

 

Plus as more of us follow the laptop lifestyle, the bedroom often also doubles or even triples as an office. In short, the way we use this space has been transformed in the last few decades.

 

Lighting this space for its multiple uses has always been a challenge and one we can be tricky to solve. However, adding some additional bedroom lamps can change how you use the space, especially as they can be adjusted to suit the mood.

 

Plus with hundreds of options for bedside lamps, it’s often hard to know where to start. But don’t worry as we’ve picked 6 of the best bedroom lamps under £50.

Tomons Wood Swing Arm Desk Lamp

 

Description

Looking like a lamp from a lab, the Tomons Wood Swing Arm Desk Lamp fuses wood with white coated iron. Even the nylon covered cable adds to its vintage vibe! You have to admit, it looks pretty darn cool!

 

As the arm consists of two sections, there’s a lot of room to move the lamp around, and while it might not manipulate as easily as goose-neck, you should be able to move the lamp into a few different positions depending on your need.

 

Even though this lamp can use LED bulbs and it comes with one, you can easily change the bulb to something else. The included LED bulb is 4 watts and so will be bright enough for even larger bedroom. While cool, we dislike that you can’t dim the brightness.

 

At nearly 2 and a half metes, the power cable is long and so you’ll have no problem connecting it up to the mains.

 

 

Conclusion

You have to admit it that the Tomons Wood Swing Arm Desk Lamp looks pretty darn cool and would look great in virtually any room.

 

While it may lack a dimming function like many other lamps we’ve covered, it’s vintage design makes up for it. And in our opinion, the Tomons is worth every penny of the £25.99 you’ll pay.

 

We love the cool design, the cable and the fact you can easily change the bulb. 9/10

Since a bulb isn’t included you will need to purchase a dimmable 40w SES E14 Golfball Bulb. Sadly, this lamp is not suitable for standard LED or energy saving bulbs. So if you’re looking for an eco-friendly option then the MiniSun isn’t for you.

 

While we’ve selected the lamp in copper, it’s also available in chrome, brass and pale blue.

 

 

Conclusion

With its vintage vibe and crisp colours, the MiniSun Fisherman’s Vintage Lantern Lamp is an instant classic.

 

You might feel slightly unfavourably toward this lamp. And we get it, the MiniSun is a bit marmite. You can’t adjust it, just you can with our other choices and it doesn’t offer USB charging or work with LED bulbs.

 

However, it does have 4 brightness settings and a look which will never go out of fashion.

 

As it’s a such a feature piece, which would look superb around the house. 9/10

Firstly, it’s USB powered. So it’s perfect if you have your phone charger plugged near to your bed or an alarm clock with a USB output. However, it doesn’t come with a USB to 3 pin plug, which is a bit disappointing.

 

As it’s a clip-on light you can move it around and easily attach it to a number of surfaces. Don’t worry, it also comes with a base which makes it’s easy to mount if you don’t have an appropriate surface.

 

The base even has a slot for phones or tablets, which angles the device towards you. A pretty nice addition!
