The right cordless lamp throughout the home creates a joyful living experience.
Creating a comfortable way of living is the first important step towards making a house a home.
Whether it’s a living room rug that feels nothing short of perfect underneath our feet or that soft footrest for that afternoon book and cuppa, it can’t be denied that comfortable living makes us happier, more balanced people.
Finding the perfect lighting for our living spaces is very much the same. Using the right light in a room can create a certain ambience and completely change our mood when chosen correctly. But what if there was an added comfort we could turn to when it came to lighting up our humble abode?
The truth is, cordless lamps create simplicity compared to traditional lighting. Gone are the days of hiding neverending cords behind cabinets, searching for power outlets or replacing light bulbs every few months. Cordless lamps relieve us of these stresses and help us to live as relaxed and carefree as possible.
Let’s explore 10 great ways to use a cordless lamp and how to integrate cordless lamps into any living situation.
1. Outdoor dining
There’s something exciting about putting on a get together in an outdoor setting and dining alfresco. It might be a balmy Summer’s afternoon or a crisp Fall evening, but when the drinks are flowing and the conversation is good, outdoor dining is a spectacular experience for everyone involved.
Finding the right lighting for outdoor events can be challenging however, given the lack of power present outside - and this is where cordless lamps can really come in handy. Plugging in one or many of the Zafferano Pencil LED Lights will create just the right amount of brightness for guests to enjoy their food and navigate the space around the dinner table, without feeling like the light is too harsh or overbearing.
This light can be easily positioned on the grass or further out in the backyard to help light up all areas. It comes in three different shades, meaning you can choose what will work best for the atmosphere you’re trying to create.
The Zafferano Poldina Pro Mini Lamp is also a fantastic choice for brightening up an outdoor setting. It is perfect to be used as a table lamp and ideal for dinners where elderly attendees might be present. This lamp comes in stylish colors, including silver, copper and gold - making it the perfect choice for those more fancy dinner occasions.
2. Needlepoint
Relaxing with some patchwork or knitting is an activity loved by so many and decent lighting when doing so is an absolute non-negotiable. Doing needlework without good lighting isn’t just dangerous for our eyes, but can also lead to mistakes in the finished product.
When searching for your go-to needlepoint cordless lamp, look for something that has an LED light and will last a decent amount of time. This will ensure that you have the best light possible for color matching and detailed work, and won’t need to stop in the middle of a project to change lighting.
The Zafferano Pencil LED Cordless Pendant Light is perfect for hovering over projects and aligning into the perfect position above your favorite knitting chair or work desk.
It boasts a 4-step dimmer touch control, allowing you to adjust the light perfectly with what you’re working on, and the vertical suspension support gives the user flexibility and choice over how close or how far away the light needs to be.
3. Reading
Finding the perfect light to sit back and enjoy a good read can be a task within itself. The perfect balance between brightness and softness is imperative, whilst positioning is also important for complete ease and comfort.
For a reading setup with a side table or coffee table, the Zafferano Poldina Pro Cordless Lamp is a great option due the die-cast LED lamp, offering 13+ hours of cordless illumination. This lamp can also be used indoors or outdoors, giving you a little flexibility around your chosen reading session.
4. Board Games
Board games are an activity that brings friends and family together for some unique bonding time.

5. Glamping
If you’ve ever spent a night sleeping out with nature, you will know that torches simply don’t cut it and a decent camping light amongst a sea of darkness is very much needed.

It also can be easily positioned around the tent to create pathways of light for trips to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
6. Power outages
Power outages are frustrating to say the least, and when they do occur, it's good to be as prepared as possible and have a plan in place.
One way of making these situations a little more easeful is knowing that you have allocated lights that will stay on for as long as you need. We’ve come up with a simple power outage light plan below on how you can strategically do this throughout your home.

Children’s rooms
One of the most important areas of the house to have light during a power outage is undoubtedly the children’s rooms. It's normal for children to feel lost and confused after their night light goes out during a power outage, and this can lead to crying, commotion and additional stress you simply do not need.
Dotting a few of the Zafferano Olimpia Cordless Lamps in each of the children’s rooms ensures that no matter what takes place in the middle of the night, they know they can reach over, touch the globe and turn on the light - helping them to feel more safe during these uncertain times.
Hallways, staircases and bathrooms
Another way of keeping all family members at ease during these times is to ensure that the spaces between the bedrooms are also lit up as much as possible.
Keeping hallways and staircases lit up is important, especially with smaller children, and the Zafferano Pencil LED Cordless Vertical Wall Sconce is a great solution for this. A sleek and simple design that can be positioned easily on the wall and is battery-operated and portable.

10. Boating
Although most boats have power, it can be expensive to run multiple sources of electricity for an ongoing period of time. Having cordless lamps for any boating trip makes things cost-effective and stress free.

Using a cordless lamp can help to make everyday life experiences just that little bit more comforting and enjoyable. The right lighting is often something we don’t notice the importance of until it's too late, and pre-planning this ahead of time means less time worrying and more time making one-of-a-kind memories with family and friends.
