A small table lamp fits a narrow nightstand, a shelf, or a desk corner. Under 12 inches tall is a good rule.
These seven lamps list a small footprint and an LED. Specifications are as listed.

Helpful guides: how to choose a bedside lamp, lumens and color temperature for a bedroom lamp.
Safety note: table lamps plug into household power, a USB adapter, or a lithium-ion battery. Look for a UL or ETL mark on the lamp or its adapter, and use only the bulb type the maker lists: plug-in lamps have a maximum bulb wattage, and some battery lamps take only a low-voltage 5V bulb, never a standard 120V one. Keep cords away from heat and walkways, do not cover a lit lamp with fabric, and do not exceed the rating printed on any built-in outlet. Charge battery lamps as the maker instructs and stop using one if the case swells or gets hot. We repeat certifications only as the seller lists them, so confirm the mark on the product itself.

Small Does Not Mean Dim
Small lamps tend to list low output. The 200 lumens listed for the Litluzecozy is typical for ambient use.
Night Lights for Children
The smallest mushroom lamps are marketed as night lights. Follow each maker’s age and charging guidance and keep cords out of reach of young children.
How to Choose Small Table Lamps
Height
Under 12 inches suits a narrow nightstand or shelf. The tiniest lamp here is 3.5 inches and more of a night light.
Power
Cordless lamps move easily but need charging. Plug-in lamps give steady light with no battery.
Brightness
Small lamps list modest output: 200 lm for the Litluzecozy, 680 lm for TFSWUFI. Many list none.
Bulb
Standard E26 is easiest to replace. The Dawnwake uses a G9 bulb, and the LSTVZSNRX has a bulb that cannot be replaced.
How We Evaluate Small Table Lamps
We did not install or run these lamps. We compared manufacturer specifications and Amazon listing details, collected November 5, 2026. We could not use customer ratings for this category, so there is no star or review threshold and no WikiHomeLED Score in this guide. Picks are ordered by how well the specifications the seller lists (light source, lumens, color temperature, dimming, battery, ports, size, and controls) fit the use described here. To qualify, a product had to be a small table lamp under about 12 inches with an LED, with a price and at least one specification such as lumens, bulb wattage, color temperature, or battery capacity shown in its Amazon listing, one listing per product family, and no more than three per brand. Every figure is as published by each seller and is not our measurement; where a listing does not state a figure, the table says so. Claims about eye comfort, lifespan, battery life, and energy savings are the seller’s, not ours. The full method is on our How We Review page.
