We have a couple of dimly lit porch areas in our new house. A plug-in lamp would normally solve the problem, but neither space has power points – and we’re not keen on the mess and upheaval of disruptive electric works. We like candles and oil lamps dotted about the place, but they’re not always the most practical thing when you’re in need of some immediate bright light.
So, we’ve been checking out what’s on the market in the way of battery-powered hanging lamps. Here are three examples to suit varying budgets. Mid century modern or contemporary styling might be what you’re after – numbers 2 & 3 might fit the bill. In our case, the cheapest option might suit best – a humble, little old cottage with its yellow doors & window frames.
In addition to using them indoors, battery-powered hanging lamps are perfect for use in the garden. Carry them out on a warm summer’s evening for an al fresco meal or get-together.
