GVDV 18" Table Lamp with USB Ports vs Mainstays 13-Inch Rechargeable Table Lamp
The GVDV is the better pick for a bedroom or desk where an outlet is nearby: it is taller, has a linen shade, three color temperatures, and built-in USB-A and USB-C ports plus a two-prong AC outlet to charge devices. The Mainstays wins when there is no outlet in reach or the lamp needs to move, since its rechargeable battery and water-resistant build suit patios, shelves and nightstands. Owners rate the Mainstays well overall, though some note the battery needs recharging and the light output is modest for a small lamp. The GVDV is a plug-in fixture with more features; the Mainstays is a portable light with fewer.
- Choose the GVDV if you want a taller bedside or desk lamp with warm-to-cool color temperatures, a touch dimmer and USB charging ports built in.
- Choose the Mainstays if you need light where there is no outlet, want to carry it to a patio or shelf, or prefer a compact cordless lamp.
