Are you looking for a lamp for your bedside table? Do you want a designer lamp for your home office? Do you want to create a special atmosphere in your living room using light?
Here is a small guide to help you choose the table lamp that suits you!
What function should the lamp you are considering buying have?
Table lamps can have different functions: each of them meets specific needs and must first be identified in order to choose the lamp that best suits your needs.
Bedside lamps
If you are looking for a reading lamp for your bedside table, you should consider the following criteria: the color of the light, the light intensity, and the risk of glare.
How to proceed? To illuminate pages and devices without straining your eyes, choose a bulb with warm tones, with a color temperature not exceeding 3500 degrees Kelvin and a medium light intensity, preferably not exceeding 500 Lumens, for reading and relaxation at the same time.
It will also be important to avoid the risk of glare by choosing a light source with a filtering mode: a porcelain effect glass bulb or a lampshade will be perfect to complement your table lamp without any risk to your eyes.
Additional advice: If you choose a table lamp with a lampshade, make sure that the lower edge of the lampshade is at the same height as your eyes when installed, so that you can read in the best lighting conditions possible.
Desk lamps
If you are looking for a lamp for your home office, or if you want to improve the lighting in your children's desk, it will be important to choose a table lamp that allows for focus and minimizes disruptions.
Whether you need to work on the computer or study with books and notebooks, it will be very important to choose a bulb that doesn't strain the eyes: the best choice will be a warm or neutral light, preferably white.
Maximize your concentration by creating a diffuse and uniform light on your desk, avoid as much as possible strong contrasts of light and shadow that can create annoying reflections on screens and further strain your eyes. Bulbs with finishes like Milky or Porcelain will be the perfect choice!
Additional tip: If your desk lamp also becomes a reading or ambient lamp in your room, add a dimmer switch to your custom Creative-Cables lamp to adjust the light intensity and tailor it to your requirements with a simple gesture.
Decorative table lamps
If you want to create a particular atmosphere in a room in your house, you will need a decorative table lamp.
Whether you are looking for the perfect lighting for your movie nights in front of the television or a lamp that helps you relax after dinner, alone or with company, you will have many options available.
Here are some tips for choosing the right decorative lamp for your needs:
-
Choose the style of your table lamp
Wood will be perfect for a Nordic style, while metal will help you recreate a glamorous or vintage style depending on whether you choose a glossy or matte finish, and cork will satisfy those who prefer sustainable choices. -
Match the bulb
You can choose a bulb with a classic shape with transparent glass, or be bold with a colored glass bulb or a unique shape to give real personality to your table lamp. -
Customize it down to the smallest details
Choose the color and length of the cable or add a switch or a dimmer on the cable: the Creative-Cables Customer Service can help you create a lamp that fully reflects your tastes and needs.
Extra tip: Create a symmetrical effect in the room by using two identical table lamps placed on opposite sides of the space you want to light up.
