However, a year ago, I got my first cordless lamp.

Below, I share why this is one of my best investments yet.

Zafferano Poldina Pro Rechargeable Lamp

My first portable lamp was the Zafferano lamp.

I immediately started carrying it with me everywhere.

I felt like a pioneer woman carrying an oil lamp around her log cabin.

When I’m working at my kitchen table, I set up the lamp over my notebook.

Infinitely Customizable Lighting

It’s not just great for avoiding casting a shadow though.

With my portable lamps, I can customize my lighting everywhere I go.

The Zafferano lamp is apparently waterproof, though I haven’t triedtaking it into the shower(yet).

My work area is illuminated and cozy all day.

It gives off up to eight hours of light at three different levels of dimming.

I love theambient lightthey give off.

My fourth rechargeable lamp is from Visual Comfort.

I think of it as my fancy lamp because of the brass finish.

I Can’t Stop Getting Rechargeable Lamps

My corded lamps now seem quaint.

I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of rechargeable lamps.

There’s a space and use for them in every room of my apartment.

The only problem is deciding which lamp I should get next.
