Wireless Lighting Solution Returns to M&S Shelves
The popular Joshua Rechargeable Table Lamp has made a comeback at Marks and Spencer, now available in a fresh navy colourway that's already proving to be a hit with customers. Originally launched in a checked pattern that sold out quickly last year, this updated version maintains the same beloved design while adding the convenience of USB-C charging.
Priced at £49.50, the lamp features a square ceramic striped base with a matching shade, standing at H33.3 cm x W23 cm x L23 cm. Its compact size makes it ideal for various spaces, from bedroom side tables to living room shelves.
What Makes the Joshua Lamp Special
The key feature that sets this lamp apart is its completely wireless design. Unlike traditional table lamps that require constant access to a plug socket, the Joshua lamp can be placed anywhere in the room thanks to its rechargeable battery. This makes it perfect for corners, high shelves, or areas where electrical outlets are scarce.
The lamp includes several user-friendly features:
- Touch-activated controls for easy operation
- Three different brightness settings
- Dimmable functionality
- USB-C charging cable included
- Built-in LED bulb
According to Marks and Spencer, the lamp provides up to eight hours of battery life on a single charge, though this can vary depending on the brightness setting selected. The retailer emphasises that the lamp is designed for ambient lighting rather than as a primary light source.
Customer Response and Availability
Customer reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising both the lamp's aesthetic appeal and practical benefits. One satisfied customer described it as "a very stylish lamp, which will suit any décor", while another noted its versatility: "I'm using these for our lounge in the evening, but I'll definitely use them in the garden in the summer."
However, some users have noted that the battery life might be shorter than expected if used on higher brightness settings for extended periods. One reviewer commented: "I love how this looks, but it has such a short battery life. You have to charge it every day if you put it on for an evening."
Currently, the green colourway is already out of stock, and the navy version is selling quickly. Given the popularity of previous Joshua lamp versions, M&S anticipates the remaining stock won't last long.
The lamp's contemporary design makes it suitable for modern home interiors, serving both as a functional light source and a decorative element. Its wireless capability has proven particularly useful during power cuts, with one customer sharing: "They also came into their own recently when we had a power cut and we didn't have to rely on electricity...perfect!"
