These cordless table lamps, down to $29 a pair, are my new hosting obsessions

Hi, my name is Britt, and I have a fear of candles. (Hi, Britt.) Well, I'm not afraid of candles themselves, but of accidentally setting my house on fire while using said candles — hence why I own a flame-free candle warmer. So when I noticed a pair of mini lamps gracing a family member's table at a recent dinner party, I had a (literal) lightbulb moment: These cordless wonders gave the room a similarly inviting ambiance without the risk of a pyro-disaster. Once I got home, I searched for a comparable set and found BGFHome Cordless Table Lamps, currently on sale at Amazon. Let the fall festivities begin!

Why is it a good deal? 💰

A single lamp is currently on sale for $20, so the fact that you're getting two for as little as $29 (over 40% off) makes this a very worthwhile markdown. Plus, similar sets — with fewer ratings — retail for upwards of $60, even on sale. Be sure to apply the on-page coupon for the lowest price. (Prices vary by color.)

Why do I need this? 🤔

If you, like me, aren't a fan of "the big light" (meaning, the abrasive overhead light found on many a ceiling), BGFHome Cordless Table Lamps are a stellar alternative. They emit a soft glow that can be adjusted with a simple tap, and their minimal, sleek design instantly elevates any surface.

On that note, they're ideal for adding some mood lighting to your dining table while hosting — the holidays will be here before we know it! — but they can also be used as reading lights on end tables, desks and nightstands, or even outdoors. (They're waterproof and have a sturdy base to help prevent them from tipping over.) When they start to run out of juice — a charge lasts anywhere from eight to 40 hours — they can be charged via USB-C, meaning you won't need to keep buying batteries.

What reviewers say 💬

These sleek lamps have set nearly 3,000 Amazon customers' hearts aglow.

Pros 👍

"I was visiting a friend in Napa [who] had these and used them around their outdoor dining table," explained a five-star fan. "Better than candles ... You can change the brightness of the light. Perfect for dinner parties. I use them on my bar when having cocktail parties too. So good to have cordless, movable lights."

"Worked wonderfully at [an] outdoor dinner," raved another. "The different brightness and intensity levels are terrific. The lamps themselves are heavy and substantial. Will not blow away! Impressed so far."

"These lamps are perfect for when your power goes out," noted a third reviewer. "We will buy some more for gifts. [We] use them all the time in hard-to-light places or where we don't want real bright lights."

Cons 👎

Picky about the undertone of your light? Take note: "Only one (of three) [are] warm light settings; the other two are much higher Kelvin (bluer light)," shared a shopper. "Good value, however. [You] need to charge overnight ([they're] slow-charging)."

"I like the way these work," wrote a final reviewer. "You can change the type of light with a tap on the top. They are great for the lanai when you don’t have a plug nearby." Their one qualm? "I only wish the charge lasted a little longer."

Psst: Here's that candle warmer I mentioned earlier:
