Desk Lamps

Desk lamps are functional and stylish too. They look good and do the job of helping you to read, work and illuminate the desk top. Badly lit reading or working areas sometimes cause tired eyes and eye strain. A home office or work desk isn’t complete without a lamp to work by.

Without doubt, desk lighting is a great idea, but it didn’t happen by accident or overnight. Initially thought to be an open candle in a dish and then a candle in a glass jar, the ubiquitous desk lamp was designed to make our life easier by directing light exactly where it is needed.

Things to Consider

What task will you be using your desk lamp for? If it’s on a home office desk, then you will need something that gives a pool of light below, enabling you to see your work clearly. If it’s for use as a reading lamp, either in a bedroom or lounge, then an adjustable head is a must so you can illuminate the pages clearly. Choose from modern or traditional styles in a variety of finishes.

How bright do you need it to be? Check the bulb wattage or use an LED bulb after first checking the lumen output. Do you need it to be dimmable? If you are using a desk lamp as a bedside reading light, then this is a useful feature. The light can be dimmed to a lower level to prevent disturbing others. Our range includes touch, LED and angle desk lamps.

A well lit desk may be just what you need to complete your workspace. Whatever you choose should not only be attractive but should complement your needs. Select a lamp with an adjustable head will allow for more adjustment when deciding where you need to light the most. Articulated desk lamps are particularly good in this respect, with almost infinite adjustment for height, angle and light direction.
