What different types of table lamps are there

Table lamps are a decorative light source with functional properties. A beautiful table lamp is able to complement the furnishing style and emphasise the ambience. They are real all-rounders that can be used on the desk as well as on tables and sideboards. They not only score points for the fact that they provide targeted light. They can tastefully complement the existing lighting and create atmospheric moments. A major advantage of table lamps and table lamps is the fact that they combine appearance and functionality in an appealing way. The classic table lamp is generally available in different versions.

• Reading lamp
• Desk lamp
• Night table lamp (also: bedside lamp)

Table lamps are not just a simple source of light, but also a decorative eye-catcher for the home. Especially with different lampshades or a different lamp base, which makes the style of each lamp unique. Striking colours, shapes and designs are available to choose from here. It doesn't matter whether you are looking for reading lamps, bedside lamps or desk lamps - the different models ensure that every taste is catered for. There are differences not only in the look, but also in the materials. Table lamps are generally made of metal, but there are also numerous other designs.

Reading lamp

Do you like to read in a cosy atmosphere? Then you need a reading lamp to make relaxed reading possible. A reading lamp as a table lamp should ideally have the highest possible light intensity and serve as a good light source - and must not dazzle you. An opaque shade is therefore a good choice for a reading lamp, for example. This is because dazzling light is justifiably perceived as very unpleasant and can also lead to headaches. With this type of table lamp, it's all about the right mix. Swivelling and movable lamps are useful. If you can freely position the light cone, you have the option of always adapting the light to the respective situation. The reading lamp can also fulfil a decorative purpose. The shape and style of the shade is important for reading lamps. If this is not right, it can cause problems when reading. If you place the table lamp on a side table in your flat or house, you can use the light for reading and create atmospheric lighting for the room at the same time.

Desk lamp

Table lamps for the workplace are certainly essential if you want to work efficiently. Desk lamps provide a particularly bright light and have the advantage that they do not cast any annoying shadows. This problem arises, however, with ceiling lighting, which is traditionally used in offices. With desk lamps, the light intensity plays a decisive role. Here you should prioritise light sources that are bright and provide a wide dispersion of the light cone. This has the effect of illuminating the workplace very evenly. Due to their long service life and low consumption, LED light sources are generally a good choice for desk lamps.

The bedside lamp as a table lamp combines functionality and appearance. It serves as a tasteful addition to the bedroom and scores with its useful features. These table lamps are available in various designs so that every living concept benefits from them and illuminates your home in a new way. The bedside lamp is normally used in various situations. In the evening, it is often used as a reading lamp on the bedside table - during the day, however, it functions as decorative lighting. And in the late hours of the night, it is a practical helper if you want to leave the bedroom and do without the large ceiling light.

Table lamps are real all-rounders these days. This is because they not only act as decorative eye-catchers and atmospheric light sources, but also as practical helpers in many situations. This is often due to the useful functions that table lamps and table lamps offer today. In this context, the dimming function is a real asset. If the table lamp is dimmable, you enjoy the advantage of always being able to adjust the light to the situation at hand. A touch-me table lamp is also helpful. You can switch the lamp on and off with a simple touch. Swivelling and movable table lamps are also very popular. These lamps generally have movable elements. This allows you to position the light as you need it. If the light can be tilted and swivelled, this provides you with the ideal conditions for all conceivable situations.

Are table lamps also suitable as work lamps?

In order to be able to work comfortably at your desk, you need the right lighting. Desk lamps prove to be the perfect solution in this context. This is because the desk lamps cast bright light onto the tabletop and are therefore exactly the right light source. In this way, the desk lamp is a great addition to the ceiling lighting. What's more, you can always position the lamp as you need it. For example, if you are doing paperwork, you can direct the beam of light straight at the papers. When working on the computer, you can then provide general lighting.

Using table lamps decoratively - what options are there

With the right light, the room immediately looks much cosier and more inviting to match your living style. However, for the lighting to achieve this effect, you need to use the table lamps correctly. There are basically no limits here, as table lamps do not necessarily have to be placed on a table. Arrange the light wherever you want an atmospheric light source. Whether sideboard in the living room, side table in the guest room or chest of drawers in the hallway - the table lamp is an eye-catcher everywhere.

Which light source should I use for my table lamp?

Halogen lamps and LED lamps are particularly suitable for bedside lamps. They reach maximum brightness as soon as they are switched on and prove to be a real asset in everyday life. However, you do not necessarily have to choose the light source with the highest light intensity. The reading lamp is a good example of this. This lamp should provide enough light for you to read your book. However, it should also create a cosy and atmospheric ambience. That's why a lower brightness level is absolutely sufficient. LED lights also have a long service life. Table lamps with a dimmer function are also a good intermediate solution. Then you can always adjust the light individually to the respective situation.

Table lamps are moving with the times and are now very innovative. For this reason, most lights are also equipped with LED light sources. These lighting elements primarily impress with their high energy efficiency and long service life. In general, an LED light has a service life of around 20,000 hours. Compared to a normal light bulb, the LED light consumes around 80 per cent less energy. Although little electricity is consumed, you benefit from high light intensity. The classic LED light sources are therefore definitely bright enough and are not only suitable for decorative table lamps, but also for desk lamps and reading lamps in the room or even as a ceiling light.

It's the design that counts - which table lamp is right?

Table lamps and table lamps complement the furnishings or your living style in a discreet and tasteful way. But you can also find table lamps that act as decorative eye-catchers. There are lights and lamps in many different designs, shapes, colours and styles. It doesn't matter which furnishing style you prefer - you'll find a table lamp that fits perfectly on your bedside table, for example, in no time at all. You also have the option of combining different designs and colours in a creative way.

Whether shabby chic, retro style or modern look - table lamps inspire with their diverse designs. With the right table lamp, you can complement your living concept and benefit from functional features at the same time. When choosing a table lamp, you should pay particular attention to four points:

• What purpose should the table lamp fulfil?
• Should the table lamp be an eye-catcher or blend discreetly into the interior?
• Which design suits you and your interior?
• Which material do you prefer for a table lamp?

Nowadays, you no longer have to choose between functionality and design. Today's table lamps combine an appealing design with modern and innovative technology. Nevertheless, you should consider where the light is to be used before buying so that you can decide on the right lamp. Table lamps are absolute all-rounders. You can use the light as a decorative eye-catcher or opt for a light that blends discreetly and atmospherically into the interior.

Table lamps are available in a wide variety of configurations. Lamps that are predominantly made of metal are particularly popular. This material is characterised by its robust features and also emphasises the clear and modern design. Glass is also a popular material. Typical materials for table lamps and table lamps are also brass or wood. There are also differences in the lampshade. The shade can be made of fabric, for example, which is mainly found on ceramic table lamps. The fabric cover is available in different colours and underlines various furnishing styles. Whether metal or glass - it primarily depends on your individual ideas and preferences. Because in the end, it is primarily the visual features that make the difference.
