#1 Types of table lamps

The choice of table lamp depends on what type of table lamp you want to buy.

It may be that you want to go for a LED table lamp, where you have the ability to adjust brightness (lumen) and color temperature (kelvin).

With the LED light in that type of desk lamp, you can indeed set the light intensity and colors with good adjustable buttons that make it easy for you to control those functions.

This way, you can create the perfect and comfortable light that suits you, for example, when you read a book late at night when your eyes might be getting a bit tired.

This is especially important if you need to sit and work with paperwork in the evening at your desk, so your eyes are not harmed by too much light just before bedtime.

It may also be that you want to control your new table lamp with an app and have a wireless Qi charger in its base.

This way, you can charge either your smartphone, iPads, AirPods, or Apple watch.

So there will be a complete smart solution to be had in a Qi table lamp, if that’s what you're looking for.

Remember that various table lamps have very different functions, so always remember to read the individual product descriptions of the table lamps to be completely sure that you get the features you want.

#3 Choosing the height for the table lamp

It is a good idea for you to think about the specific height your new table lamp should be.

The heights of our table lamps range from a minimum of 150 mm to around 595 mm.

This should ideally fit the desk or coffee table you already have at home, so that everything works together in the end.

It should especially fit the height if, for example, you are sitting on the sofa reading a book, so you can do it for many hours without hurting your neck after good reading.

#4 Choosing the color and design for the table lamp

Our table lamps can be purchased in beautiful and stylish colors, so they match perfectly to how you have decorated your home.

A table lamp in black, for example, would look very smart on your desk.

While a white table lamp would look discreet while it stands on your coffee table.

Here are typical colors that table lamps often come in:

• White
• Black
• Silver

When it comes to the actual design, there are countless options to choose from.

Designs in table lamps can range from sleek and slender designs to more retro types, where the lamp's "body" is a bit larger and more substantial on the table.

#5 - Lumen in the table lamp

Lumen in lamps, and light sources in general, is a number that indicates how powerful a light they emit.

Here, it is important to consider how bright you need the lamp to shine.

However, remember that it also requires that you have a corresponding light bulb that can actually emit the high amount of lumens, and not just that the lamp is capable of it.

If you have this, you can, especially with dimmable light bulbs, enjoy a very flexible table lamp that can shine softly, for example, if you just woke up, or shine very brightly if you need good lighting for reading in the evening hours.

#6 - Color temperature (Kelvin) in table lamps

The color temperature in lamps, and light sources in general, is a concept used about the actual appearance and "feeling" of the light.

Depending on the light's color temperature, it can have different applications, such as in the home or at a workplace.

If the table lamp is designed for a cozy light at home, where there is no focus other than relaxation, you should, for example, aim for a table lamp with 2200-2700K; however, if you need bright light for a workplace or for safety purposes, you should go for one with a high Kelvin, around 5000.

Here is a quick overview of different amounts of Kelvin, and what color temperature this typically provides:

Remember that this is just a matter of your very personal taste and what needs you have in relation to the use of your table lamp.

However, it is often an advantage to go for the lower end of the scale if the table lamp is intended for home/relaxation.

Conversely, it is often more pleasant to use table lamps with 3000+ Kelvin if it is intended for work purposes, where you need to focus.

#7 - Power consumption (Watts) in table lamps

If you are the type who wants to keep track of your power consumption, you can read the power usage of our table lamps, that is, their power consumption.

This is always stated in Watts, so you can see how much power the lamp itself uses.

Remember that this is only about the lamp itself and not the bulb that sits in the lamp.

Typically, table lamps use incredibly little power, going down to 5-10W in newer models.

Even if you have them on all year round, it will actually be incredibly little extra you pay on your electricity bill.

When it comes to table lamps, these are typically units that are not on much more than a couple of hours a day, which simply means very little in terms of cost on your electricity bill annually.

Here is an example:

A table lamp with 10 Watts that you use 2 hours a day would only use 7.3 kWh per year.

Multiplying 7.3 by your current kWh price, let's say 4 kr. as an example, amounts to only 29.2 kr. per year for using your table lamp.

That’s why it's beneficial to use table lamps

A table lamp with many user-friendly options is a must-have for many people.

It doesn't matter whether you work at your desk at home, or if one evening you want to crash on the sofa and enjoy a good book.

It would be nice to have a table lamp that you can adjust the light on so that you don't get tired eyes while working or reading.

Table lamps are also one of the most flexible types of lamps, as you can easily move them from room to room.

If you would rather sit and work at the kitchen table, you can just move the lamp with you without any issues.

Table lamps can incredibly easily be replaced without problems and take up very little space in your decor while providing a pleasant light.

FAQ about table lamps

Can you get table lamps without a cord?

Table lamps can come in variants with rechargeable batteries. This makes them a portable solution that does not require cable connection all the time. This type of table lamp is especially popular for work use, where the light is often moved around.

Can a table lamp be used outdoors?

There are specific types of table lamps designed specifically for outdoor use, which can be freely used outside as you wish. If you want to use your regular table lamp outside, it is important not to expose either the lamp itself or its plug/cord to rain, snow, moisture, or anything else. A table lamp can often be used outside for periods, but should never be left outside overnight, as they are susceptible to moisture that occurs in the nighttime hours.
