A puck light is generally used in the kitchen to light up cabinets, cupboards and countertops – but we think popping one in a lamp is a genius idea. 

“Simply place a puk light inside your lamp and hide the electrical cord,” says Chantel.

Some puck light brands, like these Lytworx puck lights from Bunnings ($21.50), even allow you to select the lighting colour that best suits your needs.

Another said: “I’m totally on the puck light bandwagon too”

One commenter wanted to know how bright the lamps are. Chantel said, “It’s as bright as a normal lamp – this is filmed during the day with curtains open.”

Lots of people pointed out that using a puck light regularly will require a lot of batteries. 

Luckily, it is possible to get rechargeable puck lights, like this one, and rotate them.
