This $10 Cordless Lamp Creates the Perfect Kitchen Lighting

I’m on a mission to make my kitchen cozier this year, and if there’s one thing standing in my way, it’s harsh, overhead lighting. While I appreciate bright lights when I’m measuring baking ingredients or reading a meat thermometer, they’re a bit overwhelming first thing in the morning or as I’m looking for a midnight snack. I’ve been on the lookout for a restaurant-style cordless lamp to provide soft lighting, and the Kakanuo Cordless Table Lamps look like they belong in a cozy French bistro.

These simple, sleek lamps are just the right size for my countertop and are $10 apiece. Plus, they come in a 2-pack, so you can use the other one in your bathroom or on your nightstand.

Kakanuo Cordless Table Lamp, 2-Pack

Whether you’re cozymaxxing your way through winter or just want to illuminate the darker corners of your kitchen, Amazon shoppers love this 2-pack of table lamps, which has more than 1,100 perfect ratings was purchased over 6,000 times in the last month. The LED lamps are cordless and charged via USB-C, and one shopper said they’ll run for about six to eight hours on a single charge.

At about 15 inches tall, the lamps are slim, so you can easily tuck them between kitchen appliances without taking up much space on the counter. They won’t clutter your countertop with cords, and since they’re waterproof, you can even use them for outdoor hosting once the weather warms up. One customer also recommended them for power outages as a more convenient, safer alternative to candles.

The lamps have a single button that you tap to switch between three color modes, from warm to cool, and holding down the button increases the brightness. The lamps will even remember what brightness level you used last time. One reviewer uses them as an alternative to their “big overhead lights,” and a second customer loved that the lamps “add a cozy touch to any space.”

The lamps come in 2- and 4-packs with a range of color options, including gold, white, and wood, but you’ll get the best deal with the 2-pack in black. If this isn’t quite your style, I rounded up more cordless lamps for achieving cozy, soft lighting in your kitchen.
