What if your table lamp was portable? You could move it from the desk to the kitchen to the outdoor dining table. You could place it in the center of a round dining table without a trailing cord across the surface. And with it fully charged, you could utilize it as an emergency back-up when the power is out. The possibilities are endless. Here are our 10 favorite cordless, portable lamps.
