Hanna’s Lamps and Light Roundup

This is the one I would put in the cart first, and it is the fix for the dark patio I was just complaining about. A hundred feet of outdoor string lights with fifty four shatterproof G40 bulbs, the round cafe kind that hang in a soft swoop and make a plain concrete patio look like somewhere you would want to sit. They are dimmable, so you can take them down to a low glow once the sun is gone, and they are waterproof and rated for outside, so they stay up through the rain and the sprinkler and the first cold nights. A hundred feet is enough to go the length of a deck and back, or all the way around a pergola, and you can plug one strand into the next. Thirty five ninety nine this morning, down from forty three ninety nine, eighteen percent off. The last few warm evenings of the year are the ones worth sitting outside for.

This is the one on my own list, and it is the prettiest thing I found this morning. A small table lamp in amber vintage glass that glows the color of honey when you turn it on, and there is no cord at all. It charges up and then it runs on its own battery, so it goes on the mantel where there is no outlet, on the back of the toilet tank, out on the porch table for supper, on the nightstand with no wire hanging down the back. You touch it to turn it on and you keep touching to dim it, all the way down to a soft nightlight glow, and there are three color modes from warm to cool. Twenty six ninety nine, down from thirty five ninety nine, twenty five percent off. I would buy two and not think twice about it.

This is the practical one, and it is the one that fixes reading in the evening. A tall floor lamp that puts out two thousand lumens, which is a great deal brighter than the lamp most of us have beside the chair, and it is the kind of light where the words on the page stop swimming and you stop tipping the book toward the window. The head tilts, so you aim it down onto your lap instead of into your eyes. It dims all the way down for television and comes back up bright for the crossword, and it stands on its own slim base without taking up half the room. Thirty seven ninety nine this morning, five percent off, a small markdown but a real one.

The best selling lamp on my whole list this morning, which tells you something. A small cordless table lamp in a soft sage green with a proper little shade, rechargeable so there is no cord to run anywhere, and it has a timer built in, which is the part I like. You set it and it turns itself off after you have fallen asleep, so it is not burning all night on the nightstand. Three brightness levels, warm light, and it is small enough for a bookshelf or a bathroom counter or the top of a dresser. Thirty two ninety nine, down from thirty five ninety nine, eight percent off.

The biggest markdown on my list this morning, and the cheapest thing on it too. A little round night light that plugs straight into the wall socket, with the Sacred Heart on the face of it, and it glows a soft warm light rather than a glaring white one. The part that makes it worth the money is the sensor. It knows when the room has gone dark and it comes on by itself, and it shuts itself off again when the morning light comes in, so you are never hunting for a switch in a black hallway at two in the morning. Put one in the hall outside the bedroom, one at the top of the stairs, one in the bathroom. Eight ninety nine, down from thirteen ninety nine, thirty six percent off.

Fifty four feet of solar string lights with a remote, seventeen percent off, and there is nothing to plug in. Ten brightness levels, a timer, and three light modes.

The same cafe style string lights as my top pick, in the shorter fifty foot run with twenty seven bulbs, for a smaller deck or a porch rail.

Fifty feet of little globe fairy lights that run off USB, and they switch between warm white and color, so the same strand does the porch in fall and the tree in December.

A short ten foot multicolor strand that plugs into the wall, the easy one for a balcony rail or the top of a kitchen cabinet.

The same string of star lights in a cooler white, lovely along a mantel or wound through a garland.

Sixteen feet of little star lights in warm white with a remote, and they run on USB or on batteries, so they can hang where there is no outlet.

A slim black floor lamp for beside the reading chair, with four light colors and brightness that slides smoothly instead of clicking through steps.

A seven inch Minecraft potion bottle that lights up and changes color, and there is a grandchild somewhere who would lose their mind over this.

Six round glass globe bulbs in a warm two thousand seven hundred kelvin, dimmable, the pretty ones for the bar of lights over the bathroom mirror.

Six little G4 pin base bulbs in soft warm white, twelve volt, the fiddly ones a chandelier or an under cabinet fixture takes.

The same G4 pin base bulbs in a ten pack and a slightly warmer white, for the chandelier that eats them two at a time.

The best selling item on my whole list this morning. Twelve GU24 bulbs, the twist in kind with the two prongs, sixty watt equivalent in a bright daylight white, for the fixtures that take them.
