Marks & Spencer has quietly restocked the internet’s favourite rechargeable table lamp – and it’s already flying off the virtual shelves.
The Joshua Ceramic Striped Rechargeable Table Lamp (£49.50) vanished from the M&S website twice in the past eight months. Now both the navy and the sold-out-for-months green versions are finally back, and shoppers who missed out last time are not hanging around.
Why This £49.50 Lamp Keeps Selling Out
Interior fans first spotted the Joshua lamp in late 2024 and immediately declared it the “perfect” cordless light.
Its handmade-look ceramic base with hand-painted stripes gives the kind of expensive vibe normally seen on lamps costing £150-plus from boutique brands. Yet it’s wireless, touch-controlled, and lasts up to 12 hours on one charge.
That combination proved lethal. By December 2025 the green version was gone completely, with customers leaving comments like “please restock, I’ve been checking every day”.
Social media did the rest. Instagram accounts and TikTok room-tour videos turned it into a must-have, with the hashtag #MSJoshuaLamp racking up thousands of saves and shares.
What Makes the Joshua Lamp So Good
Three brightness levels via a simple touch on the ceramic base – no fiddly switches.
Fully rechargeable via USB-C (cable included), so no ugly wires trailing across your console table or bedside.
Warm 2700K LED bulb included – the same cosy temperature used in high-end hotels.
Sturdy ceramic construction that feels premium, not plastic.
At just 29cm tall it fits anywhere: shelves, sideboards, bathrooms, even outdoor tables on summer evenings.
One happy owner summed it up perfectly: “I bought two for my hallway that has no plugs. They look designer and give the most beautiful light.”
Real Customer Reviews Pouring In
Since the restock went live yesterday, fresh five-star reviews have flooded in:
“Bought the green one the second I got the email. It sold out in hours last time – not risking it again!”
“Absolutely stunning in real life. The stripes are hand-painted, you can see the brush marks. Makes my living room feel expensive.”
“Perfect for our bedroom – no more fighting over who has the plug socket. Charge lasts ages.”
A small number of buyers mention the light could be brighter for reading, but most say the soft glow is exactly what they wanted for ambience.
Alternatives If You Miss Out (Again)
The Joshua lamp is already showing “low stock” warnings on the M&S site this morning.
If it disappears before you checkout, these are the closest matches still available:
- Dunelm Suzie Striped Woven Table Lamp – £35
- Dusk Lucia Striped Rechargeable Lamp – currently £29.75 (was £35) – 39 five-star reviews
- H&M Home Ceramic Striped Battery Lamp – £34.99
- Next Rechargeable Ribbed Lamp – £45
None quite match the Joshua’s chunky ceramic weight or the exact shade of sage green that went viral, though.
The Marks & Spencer Joshua Ceramic Striped Rechargeable Table Lamp proves you don’t need to spend hundreds to get that quiet-luxury look at home. Thousands of shoppers already know it – which is why they’re moving fast this morning.
