A rechargeable table lamp puts light where you eat and talk without running a cord across the patio. The useful differences are battery size, how far the light dims, whether the controls survive rain, and the weather rating the maker states.
We compared rechargeable lamps sold for outdoor or indoor/outdoor use on battery capacity, listed runtime and lumens, dimming and color options, controls and weather rating. Browse more in the Outdoor Lighting category, or see our guide to Best Outdoor String Lights.

How to Choose a Cordless Outdoor Table Lamp
Weather Rating
IP44 handles splashes, IP54 and IP55 add dust and spray protection, and IP65 resists water jets. Lamps below IP65 are best brought in when it rains.
Battery and Runtime
Runtime claims usually describe the lowest setting. Compare the full-brightness figure if the maker gives one.
Brightness and Color
For dining, warm white around 2700K is easy on the eyes. A lamp that also offers cooler white helps for reading or games.
Controls
Touch controls look clean but can react to rain. A physical button is more predictable outdoors.
Charging Safety
Charge with the cable type the maker specifies, close any port cover before taking the lamp outside, and do not charge a wet lamp.
How We Evaluate Cordless Outdoor Table Lamps
For this guide we compared listings on battery capacity, stated runtime and lumens, color and dimming options, control type and weather rating. We left out lamps sold only for indoor use. Most listings in this guide had no rating data in our product feed, so ratings did not decide the order. We did not handle or measure these products ourselves, every figure comes from the maker's listing, and we never repeat a weather, brightness or runtime claim as our own.
Variants of one listing count as a single product, and we would rather list a few strong picks than pad the list. Our full process is on the How We Review page.
FAQ
Can cordless table lamps stay outside?
Only if the rating suits your weather. IP65 lamps resist rain; lower-rated lamps should come in when it rains and overnight.
How long does a rechargeable patio lamp last on a charge?
Makers in this group list from about 6 hours at full brightness to 60 hours on the lowest setting.
Can I charge an outdoor lamp outside?
Follow the maker's instructions. Most expect you to charge indoors with the port dry and the cover closed afterward.
Final Verdict
Halostorms is our top pick for its 260-lumen output, three color tones and rain-friendly button control. Moragin's IP65 pair is the best for open tables, and PUSU's metal pair offers a warm light with clear runtime figures.
Mr.White adds a wicker look, WEILAILUX doubles as a phone charger, and LETRY can charge from the sun.
