Desk lamps practical things to think about

If you need the best table lamp for study, the main practical considerations are:

Working area – the taller the lamp the more desk area it will light up, so work out how much space you need to illuminate and make sure the lamp has a stand with enough height. If you’ve got a huge desk you’ll need a tall lamp – and perhaps one with a long adjustable stand that can reach across the surface.

Position and direction – if you do different kinds of work (reading, drawing etc) requiring different intensities of light, or have a couple of working areas in your desk space, you may need the flexibility of a desk lamp that can be manipulated and angled.

The right amount of light – with so many people now spending so much of their lives at desks staring at computer screens, eye strain is a real concern, and you need more light as you get older. LED bulbs are generally best for task lighting, and you’ll want an LED of at least 5-10 watts for most desk work purposes.

How much light do I really need?

The older you get the more light you need—a person over 50 needs twice the amount of light as a 25 year old. At the same time, older eyes are much more sensitive to glare, so it becomes more important than ever to get a quality desk lamp with a controlled beam of light (as opposed to a regular table lamp that puts out light in all directions).

Most desk lamp manufacturers take this into account when designing them. Holtkotter actually makes a line of lamps for the aging eye, with over 100 FC of light output and a matte glass diffuser and reflector that reduces glare and light scatter.

You shouldn’t wait until your eyes age to get proper task lighting; it’s really important at any age and will save you eye strain and headaches. I have put together a chart with basic wattage recommendations based on age, type/amount of use, and type of light bulb.

For something a little more modern, how about a traditional desk lamp or something quirky, like a lamp with the sun, moon and stars on? You can get copper-based lamps, gold effect lamps, silver lamps and many more types. Your table lamps should match both your personality and requirements.

Table lamps are the most common type of lamps and because there are so many options, you should easily be able to find the perfect ones for you and your home. Professional decorators and homeowners agree that with the right lighting, especially table lamps, a room can be transformed and made truly comfortable and beautiful.
