Study Lamp Price October 2026: The Same Philips at Rs. 556 on Both Sites

We read both retailers' own search results for table lamp on 20 October 2026 — 30 Amazon listings and 39 Flipkart listings, logged out, from India, nothing purchased.

The PHILIPS 5W CLARO 3-in-1 LED desk light sells at Rs. 556 on Amazon and Rs. 556 on Flipkart, against the same stated MRP of Rs. 1,188 and printing the same 53% badge. The only thing that differs is the review pool: 151 ratings against 66.

That is the exception, not the rule. On the other matched names the two shelves part company by up to Rs. 636 — and the shelf medians, which say Flipkart is cheaper, are measuring something other than study lamps.

Flipkart wins the WEIRD WOLF and One94Store lamps; Amazon wins Crompton and wipro; Philips is a draw. There is no site-wide answer on this shelf, which is the useful finding — a habit of always checking one retailer costs money in both directions here.

One caution on the wipro row. The two listings carry different model names: Flipkart's reads "Wipro 6W Study Lamp", Amazon's "wipro Orion 6w Rechargeable". We are not claiming they are the same lamp, and we did not open either box. We report the gap because the brand and the wattage match and a shopper comparing on those two fields alone would pay Rs. 636 more.

Flipkart's median is Rs. 64 lower and that number should not be trusted. Its results page mixes genuine desk lamps with novelty night lights, ornaments and sewing-machine clamp lights, which is why 25 of its 39 listings fall under Rs. 400.

Amazon's shelf is narrower and more uniform — nothing below Rs. 280, nothing above Rs. 1,224, and every single listing publishing a star average and a review count. Flipkart's reaches further in both directions and leaves five listings with no rating at all.

We are showing this rather than quietly letting the median stand. Four of the five cheapest things on Flipkart's table lamp results are not table lamps in any useful sense — a 2.4-inch crystal ball, a panda night light and two lights that clip onto a sewing machine.

None of that is Flipkart doing anything wrong; a search for "table lamp" returns what sellers have filed under it. It does mean the like-for-like comparison is Rs. 209 against Rs. 280 at the cheap end, not Rs. 151 against Rs. 280.

The two biggest badges on either shelf also sit here: 91% on a Rs. 404 urn lamp against a stated Rs. 4,450, and 90% on the Rs. 185 panda against a stated Rs. 1,890.

Philips is the brand with real overlap, and it holds its price. The CLARO is identical on both; the LUMOS appeared only on Flipkart and the VION and Orbit only on Amazon, so for three of the four there was nothing to compare.

The outlier worth naming is the Flipkart "Crompton Deskmate" listing at Rs. 1,689 against a stated MRP of Rs. 4,000, publishing no rating, while Amazon's Crompton Deskmate 5W sells at Rs. 359 against a stated Rs. 1,000 with 1,844 ratings. We cannot tell you these are the same product and we are not suggesting anything improper — the Flipkart title gives no wattage and no rating to check it against. That absence is the point: there is nothing on that tile to justify the gap to a buyer.

This is a price read, not a product test. No lamp was switched on, measured for brightness or flicker, or assessed for eye comfort. Wattages, "EyeComfort", "3-in-1", battery capacities and dimming grades above are the listings' own printed descriptions, reproduced and not verified.

Nor does it tell you today's price. Every figure here was returned on 20 October 2026. Check both listings before buying, compare the full model name rather than the brand and wattage, and rank by the rupee figure — on these two shelves the badge ranged from 11% to 91% and told you almost nothing.
