Choice: table lamps
Style comes from details. Table lamps will become such a bright accent or a successful addition to the interior design. Their choice depends on the intended use.
Table lamps can be placed on a bedside table or coffee table, on a desktop in an office, or simply for interior decoration. But such lighting devices are most carefully chosen not by designers, but by caring parents.
Lamps for everyone
Before you buy a desk lamp for your student, you need to understand whether your choice is suitable for convenience and safety. So, there are the following selection criteria:
- Fastening. The table lamp should be firmly fixed and have a soft leg.
- Materials. It is better to select lamps with an opaque shade. This way the light will be directed to the designated place and not blind the student. The materials used must be of high quality. It’s better not to consider cheap options at all.
- Lamps. A good choice is LED or incandescent bulbs with a light matte finish. They have a lower price compared to fluorescent ones, and also allow the use of a dimmer (a device for regulating light intensity). It is better to exclude fluorescent lamps altogether.
- Light level. This indicator is individual for each person. Optimal power is 60 W or 150 lux for local light.
Similar selection criteria can be applied to office table lamps. Low lamps with a matte shade or a thick lampshade are suitable for the bedroom. Still, they need to be combined with other types of lighting: ceiling and decorative products, floor lamps.
This approach to lighting design is beneficial to health. According to the recommendations of lighting experts, table lamps are selected depending on the color and stylistic design of the room.
