Tricks for Buying a Lamp Looking for tips for purchasing a lamp? If so, you've probably come to the right place. We'll try to provide answers for some of the questions you might have, and maybe even answer a couple questions you haven't thought of yet. Here are some common questions we get asked, and our answers and tips:

What type of lamp is ideal to get a kid’s room? If you’re buying a lamp for your kid’s room, get one that isn’t breakable or hazardous. Don’t use incandescent bulbs, because they can burn kids and they are a fire hazard. LED bulbs are nearly indestructible and are safe to touch.

For my desk, should I acquire a stand-alone or buy one that I can attach to my desk? Attached lamps are ideal for architects, artists and other people who want the entire surface of their desk to be lit well. Attached lamps also save space on your desk top. Stand-alone lamps, on the other hand, can be moved around, and hence are more versatile. A lot of people prefer them because these lamps are usually more aesthetic and offer better mood lighting. If you only need part of your desk lit, a stand-alone lamp will work well.

For any desk lamp, do i need to get one that’s adjustable? Adjustable lamps work well for people who use their desk for a wide variety of things that require different types of light. Lamps with swing arms can swing around to any part of the desk and can usually be tilted to provide light from different angles. But the swing arm needs to be stable enough to remain in the position it’s put in, or the lamp will give you more problems than it’s worth.

The best system for swing arm floor standing lamps is the counterweight system, because it lasts longer than any other system. Lamps with a hydraulic system will start leaking someday. For lamps that use tightening screws, the screws will start cracking. Lamps will springs or flexible arms will also fail before long.

What reading lamps are best for my eyes? To read by, you'll need a bright light that's and a high-quality light. There's 2 primary indexes for determining the standard of the light source bulb: along with rendering index (CRI) and the correlated colour temperature (CCT). You will want a light bulb with a CRI rating of 80-100, with 100 being the best. These high-rated bulbs produce light that makes objects appear much more vivid than the faded, pale light that low CRI bulbs produce. You ought to use a light bulb that has a CCT that’s rated somewhere between 5000 and 7300 K, which means it puts out a clear, cool, bluish-white light akin to natural daylight. High CCT light makes words jump off the page instead of slinking in the washed-out light that warm-coloured bulbs put out.

What sort of lampshade do i need to get for a lounge table lamp? Don’t let the table lamp-shade extend past the table’s perimeter. An opaque lampshade reduces glare from lamps that will be close to a television set. If you want a lampshade that lends a warm glow, get one of fabric or semi-opaque paper. For a traditional look, you must think aboutacquiring a conical shade; for a more trendy look, a drum shade.
