Outdoor table lamps, all of them weather-resistant, add practical lighting and a bit of fun to the living and entertainment places in your home, office exterior or hospitality space. Some outdoor lights function as reading lamps, so come in modern but modest styles. Other designs can improve safety and visibility, illuminating otherwise dark corners near entryways, stairs and steps. But many stylish outdoor table lamps offer a wide selection of geometric or artistic shapes, and a variety of lighting colors. These show pieces are as much about fun décor as they are about practical illumination, also serving as flower planters, table centerpieces and conversation-starters. Thanks to new technologies, such as lithium batteries and energy-efficient LEDs, many of these outdoor table lamps are portable, dimmable and can be controlled remotely.
