This Viral Waterproof Lamp Is the Secret to the Coziest Shower Ever

Bathroom lighting can be a tough problem to solve. Whether you're dealing with walls covered in tile, a lack of windows, or a blinding light-up mirror, it may feel impossible to add scones that match your style or have a relaxing bath or shower when you’re hit with fluorescents the entire time. 

This sentiment is a relatable one, as proven by a video posted by TikTok creator @mrsmckennabarry that now has over 60,000 likes. In it, she shows off some “unnecessary things I don’t regret buying" for her bathroom, and one item got a lot of attention: her shower lamp and speaker setup.

“It makes for the coziest showers," she said in the video. "10 out of 10 recommend.”

You heard that right: a shower lamp. Simply placed on top of a shower shelf, it allows you to get flattering mood lighting without any hassle. The best part? It’s totally cordless and waterproof.

“Wait,” one person commented, expressing what we’re all thinking: “Why does it feel illegal to have a shower lamp?! We’re allowed? Won’t I get electrocuted?!”

What may be throwing viewers off is the fact that it matches the look of a lamp you'd find on a desk or in your living room. @mrsmckennabarry responded to everyone's question in a follow-up video in which she confirms that, yes, it's waterproof. It currently has more than 4 million views and nearly 500,000 likes.

The lamp is currently on sale for $40, and you can choose from wood grain (to match @mrsmckennabarry), white, pink, orange, or dark grey. It stands at nearly 10 inches tall and is cordless, rechargeable, and turns on and off with a touch. You can even dim it for that calming, spa-like, mood-lighting effect.

If you already have a place to set up your lamp in your shower, great! But if you need to add a shelf, @mrsmckennabarry has a recommendation for that, too.

“I chose a renter-friendly shelf that has super strong adhesive," she said, showing it off in the video—it sits in the corner of her shower and has a round, glass design. "This thing is not going anywhere.” The exact shelves she got are currently unavailable, but you can find plenty other options to suit your style on Amazon.

Everyone in the comment section seems just as excited about the relaxing, spa-like result the waterproof lamp brings.

“I can’t believe I’m 43 years old and coziness is my reason for living and I’ve never thought of this,” one said.

“The amount of times I’ve showered in the dark or with a ton of candles bc the overhead light is overstimulating,” another commented.

You heard it here first: Showering in blinding, bright light is out in 2024—this cute little lamp is in.
