Wiz Mobile Portable Light
This is a simple indoor wireless lamp with a rechargeable battery and a nice soft handle for carrying around your home. Control it using your phone or voice assistant, or via the touch panel.

Impressively, it claims 50,000 switch cycles and should last 25 years (!) if you use it for 2.7hrs per day.
