Hi, just bought a rechargeable table lamp - this one ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/K-Bright-Contact-Charging... ) and the instructions say: Adapter Output: DC: 5V 1A (2A)

Anyone know what type of USB charger to buy? Thanks

it looks like your standard USB connector. Are you thinking it is different to that?

Thanks, i'll try an old iPhone charger to see if it works. I need to buy another charger (bought 2 lamps) so just wanted to be sure i was buying the correct type smile

I'd go for something like this:

Pretty much any of the cheap chinese crap on Amazon will do it, but you are less likely to burn your house down with an actual brand name
