Whether you’re a fan of sleek, modern lighting or prefer
more traditional styles of illumination, the ideal desk
lamp should possess many, if not all, of the following
characteristics.
The ideal desk lamp uses a fluorescent bulb, which produces
light very close to the spectrum of natural sunlight. The
light should be easy on the eyes to reduce strain. The bulb
should give off very little or no heat, even when left on
for extended periods. And, the lamp should be energy
efficient.
The ideal desk lamp is functional, with a simple on/off
switch. It has a durable body and a head that can be
focused to create a concentrated pool of light. The lamp is
adjustable enough to allow the user to change the angle of
the light, so it’s directed where needed without causing
glare.
The ideal desk lamp looks at home in its surroundings. It
matches the owner’s décor and doesn’t require much desk
space. And finally, the lamp is low maintenance and easy to
keep clean.
