Determining leading desk lamp

1. Determining Leading Desk Lamp
If you’re in the market for a desk lamp, bedside lamps, ceiling fans with lights and chandeliers you
have a lot of types to choose from. How can you figure out the one that’s best for you?
Stand-alone or Attached
The first thing to think about is whether you want to get a lamp that attaches to the rear of your desk
or a stand-alone lamp that sits on your desk. If you’re an artist, architect or someone else who needs
good lighting for the entire surface of your desk, you’ll probably need an attached lamp. Attached
lamps are also nice because they don’t take up valuable desk top space.
Stand-alone lamps are fine if you don’t need all of your desk top lit. They’re usually more flexible and
aesthetic, and are better for mood lighting than attached lamps.
Adjustable Lamps
Adjustable lamps are nice if you use your desk for tasks that have different lighting needs. Maybe the
most versatile type of adjustable lamp is the swing arm lamp, where the butt of the lamp remains
fixed, while the upper part swings and tilts as needed. But make certain the swing arm is stable enough
for the lamp head to stay in whatever position you set it in.
Swing arm lamps that utilize a counterweighted system have the longest lifespan, by far, of any
system. The other types of systems will fail: springs will stretch, screws will crack, flexible arms will go
caput and hydraulics will start leaking.
Lamp Styles
Dome lamps emit a fairly good amount of light and are contemporary, practical and stylish.
If you prefer a more traditional lamp, you could get a standard type of lamp with a lampshade. But
you’ll want to make sure the lamp is tall enough to illumine enough of your desk area.

2. If you have a wooden desk and you like antiques, you might want to buy an old-fashioned banker’s
lamp or a Tiffany lamp.
If you’d like to make a fashion statement, you’ll want to investigate accent lamps. If you’re someone
who wants to make fashion statements, accent lamps might be to your liking.
They come in many styles and shapes, and tend to become conversation pieces.
If the lamp is for your kid’s room, you’ll need to make certain it’s safe and unbreakable. Don’t use
incandescent bulbs, as their high heat can burn kids or become a fire hazard.
Bulb Types
The only thing incandescent bulbs have to offer is that they are cheap. They are energy hogs and the
quality of their light is just average.
LED bulbs last much longer than any other type of bulb and they are also the most energy-wise, but
they also cost the most and their light is the poorest for quality.
The best quality illumination comes from full-spectrum fluorescent lights that are powered by direct-
current (DC). Unlike their AC counterparts, DC tubes don’t flicker. But the vast majority of people run
on alternating current AC power, and flickering AC fluorescent lights can cause eyestrain and
headaches for some people.
For AC lighting, halogen bulbs yield the best quality of light. It’s sharp and clear, and the clean white
light gives a good contrast to the dark printing on a page.
You have a vast number of lamp styles and bulb types to choose from, so if you look hard enough,
you’re sure to find something you like.
