Frequently Asked Questions About Table Lamps

What's the difference between a table lamp and a desk lamp?

A table lamp is typically a decorative ambient or bedside fitting, while a desk lamp is designed for focused task lighting, often with an adjustable arm or head.

What height should a bedside table lamp be?

As a guide, the base of the shade should sit roughly level with the top of a seated or reclining head, so the light doesn't glare into your eyes at night.

Are desk lamps with adjustable arms better for work?

Yes, an adjustable arm or head lets you redirect light for different tasks, typing, reading documents, video calls, without moving the lamp itself.
