Portable lamps are clutch additions to any home, especially for those who are big anti-Big Light. You can use them as little desk or task lamps, add a little light to a dining table, or to bring outside after sunset. They're not as harsh as big overhead lights and they require zero commitment—no installation for these. Really, the options are endless—and they're made to be that way.

Brands have been catching on, too, so the market for portable lamps that are also vibey (and not something that looks just like a done-up flashlight) is growing. There are tiny table lamps, bigger floor lamps, and easily movable stick-shaped lamps that are easily used as you see fit. The hard part is finding the right one for your space, across the vast options the Internet has to offer to you. That's where we come in. For an easy home upgrade, shop the coolest cordless lamps on the market here.

Poldina PRO Table Lamp

Bicoca Portable Table Lamp

Marset's portable table lamp doesn't look portable in the slightest, which is exactly why we love it. That angled shade is movable, so you can shine the light wherever you need it.

Ani 3-in-1 Rechargeable LED Floor Lamp
