Does anyone know where I can get a battery operated Table Lamp from??
My mum is partially sighted and likes to play Bridge ( she goes out to play about 3 times a week and needs more light and not so readily available as some peoples houses) and she needs a portable light to take so that she can see the cards.
Does anyone out there know of where I can purchase one from for her.?

Many thanks.

Have you tried camping shops.  They normally have that sort of thing.

I'm looking for the same thing, except for my house.  I have no outlets around my couch, and I want a table lamp that is operated on batteries.  Anyway, I found a website called Shopzilla that had a Rite Lite LPL610 Wireless LED Multi Functional Clip Light
Manufacturer # LPL610, here's the details...

Product Details for Rite Lite LPL610
Wireless LED Multi Functional Clip Light.... (take a look, because even though it says it's a clip light, it shows it sitting on a table too.)

Information:
5 Super Bright LED's (included) Never Burn Out
Battery Operated - No Wires or Installation Required
One Touch ON/OFF switch with Dimmer
Pivoting Light Head and Neck
Clips to headboards, shelving, and picture frames in seconds
Perfect for: Home and Office - A great mulit-use light!
Requires 3 AAA batteries
2 year limited warranty 
website is http://www.lightingdirect.com/index.cfm/page/product:display/productId/LPL610/manufacturer/Rite%20Lite/finish/Black&CS_010=337889&CS_003=

It's $23.70 plus s&h... however, they're out right now, but I read in the explanation:  "We do not currently have stock on an item, and we can tell you approximately how long it will take to obtain that item once an order is placed (backorder). Most backordered items cannot be obtained by us to ship to you until an order is placed and paid for (as the manufacturer will not make or ship that item). "
 
Hope this helps... let ME know if you find any REAL battery operated Table Lamps.
Thanks!

www.iwantoneofthose.com do a couple, one uses a D cell and the other is a wind up camping lamp, they are both LED which may be enough.
