Types of Lamps

Lamps come in various styles, including:

  • Table Lamps – Compact and ideal for nightstands or desks.
  • Floor Lamps – Tall lamps providing general or task lighting.
  • Desk Lamps – Adjustable lighting for workspaces and studies.
  • Reading Lamps – Focused light for books and tasks.
  • Banker’s Lamps – Classic desk lamps with glass shades.

Reading lamps and adjustable desk lamps provide focused illumination to reduce eye strain.

For ambient lighting, choose floor lamps with soft, diffused shades or table lamps with warm LED bulbs.

Bulb Compatibility & Energy Efficiency

Most lamps support LED, incandescent, or CFL bulbs. Always check the wattage limit and socket type.

Yes! LED bulbs last longer, consume less energy, and generate less heat than incandescent bulbs.

Many lamps support dimmable LED bulbs, but ensure you use a compatible dimmer switch.

Placement & Styling

Place table lamps on nightstands or opt for a floor lamp for a cozy corner.

Floor lamps work well in living rooms, especially next to sofas or reading chairs.

While matching lamps create a cohesive look, mixing styles can add depth and contrast.
