Jenn Todryk recommends cordless lamps because they’re convenient, small, and offer a range of lighting options that can set the mood in a room. First, Todryk showed how convenient these lamps are by posting a video of her turning them on with anything but her hands, including her feet, nose, and chin. That’s because you just need to tap the base to turn on the light. This makes walking through the house and turning them on a breeze since they don’t require you to stop to turn a switch. They also come with different features. “But for real, these lamps are all adorable, cordless, most are chargeable and dimmable, and a couple are battery operated with timers,” she shared on Instagram. For example, some can change from bright white light to a moody yellow glow with a simple tap. Others allow you to set them and forget them, negating the need to turn them off at the end of the night. 

Another great thing about these lamps is that they allow you to add mood lighting to places you normally wouldn’t. For example, you can put a small lamp on your kitchen counter, creating a soft glow in the space when you’re not using it to cook. You can also put it inside bookcases or open shelving units, creating a light similar to that of a candle. This is a safer alternative to lighting a candle on a shelf but creates a similar ambiance.
