Custom Light

Personalised Lights for Every Room and Occasion

Looking for a personalised lamp within your budget? At Custom Chic, you'll find lights for reading, bedroom décor and other areas of the home. The collection covers illuminated bottles, book lamps, lightboxes and night lights, with options to add names, photos or messages according to the lamp.

Our personalised lamps come in a variety of materials and formats, from acrylic panels with wooden or plastic bases to crystal balls with 2D or 3D engraving. Heart-shaped lights feature couple-themed designs, while tree-shaped lamps can represent different family members. Each type has its own dimensions and lighting features to consider when choosing a lamp for someone's home.

For birthdays, new arrivals, christenings or weddings, the personalisation can reflect the occasion. A child's name, a couple's names or a favourite photograph can serve as a reminder of the special day. Explore our collection and find a personalised lamp for their home.

Which Personalised Light Should You Choose at Custom Chic?

The right custom light depends on how it will be used. Reading lamps direct illumination towards book pages, and decorative models highlight photographs, names or illustrations. Our collection includes eight types of personalised lamps with different constructions and uses.

Personalised Light-Up Bottles for Home Decoration

An illuminated bottle can sit on a console table or shelf alongside other decorative items. Its internal LED string lights gently illuminate the personalised design. This lamp is better suited to displaying memories than providing reading light.

The glass bottle measures 7.4 × 33 cm and has double-sided UV printing. It runs on AAA batteries, purchased separately, so a nearby mains socket is unnecessary. Its 33 cm height is worth bearing in mind for shelves with limited clearance.

Personalised Clip-On Reading Lights for Book Lovers

For someone who enjoys reading in bed or during quiet evenings, a personalised clip-on reading light is a practical accessory. Its adjustable head directs illumination towards the pages, and the clip attaches to a book or another compatible surface.

Measuring 12 × 7.2 × 3.55 cm, the lamp is compact and easy to position. A USB cable is included, but a mains adaptor is not supplied. This personalised LED reading lamp is a good choice when direct book lighting is the priority.

Custom LED Bookshelf Lanterns for Reading Corners

A personalised LED bookshelf lantern brings a warm glow to a reading corner. Displayed beside novels, photographs or decorative accessories, it adds atmosphere to a bookcase rather than illuminating pages directly.

The lantern combines a metal support with a plastic light and measures approximately 25.5 × 23.5 cm. AG10 button batteries are supplied, and the components require assembly. The assembled lantern needs enough clearance around its support to stand securely.

Personalised Book Lamp for Book-Inspired Decor

A personalised book lamp takes inspiration from the appearance of an open book. It has a plywood cover and paper pages that form the illuminated section. This design can decorate a bookcase or side table for someone who enjoys reading.

Both sides of the cover can be customised using UV printing. The lamp comes in two sizes and has seven lighting colours. Its rechargeable battery lasts approximately five to six hours after charging.

Before selecting a size, measure the space needed when the book lamp is open, not just its closed dimensions.

Personalised Acrylic Solar Lights for Gardens

A personalised acrylic solar lamp can decorate a garden or patio without requiring a mains connection. The UV-printed acrylic panel measures up to 16 cm wide and sits on a solar-powered support approximately 34.3 cm high.

This model is designed for outdoor spaces with sufficient sunlight. A garden corner or patio with a stable surface and good sun exposure is an appropriate location.

Personalised Lightboxes with Photos or Messages

A personalised lightbox displays a photograph, message or illustration as an illuminated image. Its front-facing design works well on a dressing table, desk or shelf, particularly when the personalisation is intended to be viewed directly.

The acrylic lightbox has UV printing on the front, a white reverse side and adjustable brightness. Power comes through a USB connection, with a cable supplied but no mains adapter. For a personalised photo lightbox, select a design that includes a photo-upload field.

Personalised LED Night Lights for Bedrooms

Personalised LED night lights with decorative panels bring a soft glow to bedside tables, bedroom shelves and small cabinets. A name, photograph or family illustration turns the panel into a familiar feature of the room.

For designs representing several family members, check the available personalisation fields. Names and illustrations should remain clear and readable from the intended viewing distance.

Personalised Crystal Ball Lights with 2D and 3D Engraving

Unlike a flat acrylic panel, a personalised crystal ball light presents an image inside a transparent sphere on an illuminated base. The crystal can be viewed from different angles, so it is best displayed on a clear, stable surface.

2D engraving presents an image on a single plane. 3D laser engraving produces a design with visible depth inside the crystal, resulting in a different appearance.

Our crystal ball lamps are available in 6 cm and 8 cm diameters, with a wood-effect plastic LED base and USB cable. Dimensions and base specifications vary across the range, so check the details on the individual product page.

Comparing Different Types of Custom Lights

Each type of personalised light has its own purpose, from reading to decorating bedrooms, living spaces and gardens. The table below compares their uses, key features and prices.

What to Look for in a Quality Personalised LED Light

Choosing a personalised LED light involves more than its appearance. The following factors are worth considering to find a design that meets your lighting needs and personalisation preferences.

• Lighting purpose: Reading lamps need directed illumination for book pages. Decorative bottles, lanterns and lightboxes are better suited to creating a soft glow in living spaces.

• Brightness and colour settings: The lightbox has adjustable brightness, the book lamp features seven lighting colours, and the acrylic solar light uses a single white-light mode. These settings vary by product.

• Personalisation technique: UV printing transfers photographs or illustrations onto a surface. 3D laser engraving produces an image with visible depth inside a crystal ball, resulting in a distinct visual effect.

• Power source and accessories: USB-powered lights require a compatible power source, and a supplied cable does not necessarily indicate a rechargeable battery. Light-up bottles use AAA batteries, and bookshelf lanterns operate with AG10 button batteries.

• Materials and construction: Glass bottles, acrylic panels, plywood covers and engraved crystal balls have different care requirements. The materials also affect the light's weight, stability and appearance.

• Outdoor suitability: Solar garden lights need sufficient sunlight for charging and a stable position for the acrylic panel. Indoor lighting should remain in dry conditions unless the product specifications state otherwise.

Who Would Love a Personalised Light as a Gift?

From reading lamps to decorative photo lights, different designs appeal to different interests and routines. Here are a few ideas based on who you're shopping for.

Personalised Lights for Book Lovers

If you are searching for a personalized gift for book lovers, a clip-on reading lamp illuminates the pages without taking up much space. A book lamp or decorative lantern is another option for a cosy reading corner.

The size of their reading space is also worth considering. A compact bedside table may need a smaller lamp, while a spacious bookcase has room for a larger decorative piece.

Personalised Photo Lights for Parents and Grandparents

A personalised photo light celebrates family memories through an illuminated photograph. For parents and grandparents, a familiar image of children, grandchildren or a shared occasion brings a personal touch to a bedside table or display shelf.

A photograph with clear faces and a simple composition is easier to recognise. A close-up family portrait often works better than a group photograph containing many small details.

Lightboxes, acrylic night lights and crystal balls have different display styles, with personalisation options varying between models.

Personalised Name Lights for Partners and Friends

A personalised name light displays a couple's names, initials or a special date through an illuminated design. These details bring familiar memories into a bedroom or living space.

For a romantic gift, a photograph or message associated with an important shared moment adds a personal touch. A humorous design may appeal more to a close friend who enjoys playful home accessories.

Personalised name lights are also popular choices for anniversaries and birthdays, particularly among people who enjoy personal home decorations.

Personalised Garden Lights for Gardening Enthusiasts

A personalised acrylic solar lamp can illuminate a patio or garden after dark. The panel can feature a garden-themed illustration or a photograph from a favourite memory.

Before ordering, it's worth checking that the recipient has a stable spot outdoors where the solar panel will receive enough sunlight during the day.

Best Occasions to Give Custom Lights

Birthdays are a natural occasion for a custom light inspired by someone's interests. A clip-on reading lamp celebrates a love of books, while a photo light recalls a holiday, family gathering or memorable experience.

For Valentine's Day or a couple's anniversary, a shared photograph, both partners' names or a special date brings a romantic detail to a bedroom or living room. Choose a design that complements their home rather than relying solely on the personalisation.

Mother's Day, Father's Day and Grandparents' Day are also opportunities to celebrate family relationships. A photograph with clearly visible faces or a small group of names works particularly well on a lightbox or engraved crystal ball.

For a new baby or christening, a light displaying the child's name serves as a decorative addition to the nursery, with adults responsible for its positioning and use. A housewarming gift calls for a different approach: consider the recipient's new living space, such as a bookshelf, bedside table or patio.

Which Personalised Night Light Is Best for a Child's or Baby's Room?

A personalised light featuring a child's name brings a familiar decorative detail to a bedroom or nursery. Designs with family photographs or gentle illustrations are other possibilities when the chosen product supports those options.

Safety should guide the choice of light and its position. The manufacturer's instructions, age guidance and intended use are important considerations before setting it up in a child's room.

Keep the light on a stable surface beyond the child's reach, with cables and small components inaccessible. Crystal ball lamps need particular care because their weight and fragile material present a risk if knocked from a shelf.

For overnight illumination, the specific product instructions should confirm whether continuous operation is appropriate. Decorative lighting should not automatically be treated as a nursery-safe overnight lamp.

How to Choose the Right Size and Placement for Your Personalised Light

Before ordering a personalised light, measure the available surface and consider its dimensions during use. The viewing angle, power cable and surrounding objects also affect how well the finished design works in a room.

On a Bedside Table or Desk

Leave enough room for books, a phone and other everyday essentials. A book lamp occupies more space when open, so its full dimensions matter on a narrow bedside table.

For a clip-on reading light, the attachment surface and direction of illumination determine its practicality. A USB-powered lightbox also needs access to a compatible power source without cables running across walking areas.

On a Bookshelf or Display Shelf

The distance between shelves determines which designs will fit comfortably. The illuminated bottle reaches 33 cm high, and the bookshelf lantern needs additional clearance around its support.

The personalised image should face the viewer without books or ornaments obscuring the design. Crystal ball lamps need a stable shelf away from the edge.

In the Garden or on the Patio

Only lighting specifically intended for outdoor conditions should be used in a garden or patio, such as the acrylic solar light. A location with sufficient daylight supports solar charging and more reliable evening illumination.

The acrylic panel needs to remain visible and the support secure. Areas where the light is likely to be knocked over or exposed to prolonged extreme weather are best avoided.

How to Personalise a Light at Custom Chic

Personalising a light from Custom Chic begins with choosing its purpose and design. Each product page shows the available personalisation options and the details needed to customise your lamp.

• Step 1 - Choose Your Light: Select a reading lamp, lightbox, night light, bottle, book lamp, solar light or crystal ball according to its intended use.

• Step 2 - Select the Available Options: Review the dimensions, lighting settings, power source and any size or design variations.

• Step 3 - Add Your Personal Details: Enter the name, message or other text requested by the product. For photo designs, upload a clear, well-lit image with the main subject properly framed.

• Step 4 - Review the Design: Examine the available preview to check spelling, image positioning and the overall composition.

• Step 5 - Check Your Order Details: Confirm the chosen size, quantity, power accessories and delivery information before completing checkout.

How to Clean and Care for Your Personalised Light

Regular cleaning and proper storage keep your personalised light in good condition. The care routine varies according to the materials and power source, so follow the instructions for your selected model.

• Disconnect the light from its power source before cleaning, and keep USB ports, switches and other electrical components away from moisture.

• Wipe glass bottles and bookshelf lanterns with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust without scratching the surface.

• Keep book lamps away from water and handle their paper pages gently when opening or closing them.

• Clean acrylic lightboxes with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth, following the product's care instructions.

• Use a microfibre cloth to remove fingerprints from engraved crystal balls, taking care to keep the illuminated base dry.

• Gently remove dust from solar panels to maintain charging performance, and protect indoor lights from damp conditions.
