IKEA's new glass table lamp is my favourite find of the month – and it costs just £3
It produces a flickering glow designed to mimic a real candle flame
QUICK SUMMARY
IKEA has launched a new battery-powered table lamp with a flickering candle-style glow.
The Hjulmöjaled table decoration is priced at £3/$6.99, and is available to buy in-store or via the IKEA website.
IKEA has launched a new battery-powered table lamp as part of its latest outdoor lighting collection. The new Hjulmöjaled table decoration is made from frosted glass and produces a flickering glow designed to mimic the warmth of a real candle flame.
It's the perfect addition to an outdoor setup, particularly if you're looking for an easy way to upgrade your garden for less. It's also the first product in the new Hjulmöjaled range, so there's a chance we could see more similarly styled lighting arrive in the future.
The Hjulmöjaled table decoration costs just £3 in the UK and $6.99 in the US, and it's available to buy in IKEA stores or through the IKEA website.
One thing I particularly like is that the lamp comes in two colour options – grey and white. IKEA often keeps its cheapest lighting products fairly simple, so having a choice of two finishes is a nice touch.
The lamp also has a built-in timer, which is set to stay on for six hours before automatically switching off for 18 hours, after which it will turn back on again. That said, it's worth noting that the timer resets if you switch the flame effect between the steady and flickering modes.
As mentioned, the Hjulmöjaled is battery-powered and requires three AAA batteries. IKEA also says it's compatible with its Ladda rechargeable HR03 AAA 1.2V batteries, which could be a good option if you don't want to constantly buy disposable batteries.
