What should I look for when choosing a table lamp?
Situation No. 1 - A lamp for a student
So that the child can do homework at night, and his eyesight does not deteriorate, you need in addition to the main lighting in the kids room put on the desk local lighting in the form of a table lamp.
There are several important points that you must consider when choosing:
- Table lamps can be with plastic, metal or glass lampshade. In your case, it is best to choose a design made of high-quality plastic. This is due to the fact that the metal heats up quickly and can burn a child, and the glass is fragile and can also endanger a first grader.
- You should not choose a bright lamp, because she will distract the child from school. It is believed that the interior is not burdened and at the same time the green color is not too striking, which we recommend that you choose.
- In the lamp itself can be installed incandescent lamps, LED or fluorescent light sources. Ilyich’s bulbs are better not to choose, because they emit not very bright light and at the same time have a short service life. Energy-saving lamps are very dangerous if they break, so you should not choose a table lamp if this version of bulbs is installed in it. The last option is the LEDs, the most rational and also economical, therefore, we recommend for the student to choose a LED desk lamp that will qualitatively illuminate the table and not spoil the learning process.
- The base of the lamp can be represented by a conventional stand on the table or a kind of clamp (fixed on the side of the table top, as shown in the photo below). We advise you to choose a lamp with a second embodiment, as in this case, the table will not be so cluttered, and in addition, the risk of pushing the product from the table will be minimized.
- Well, the last important tip - for a student, it is better to buy a model with a built-in dimmer, which will allow the child to independently choose the lighting intensity and make it comfortable for learning.
That's all the recommendations that will allow you to choose the right table lamp for your child’s study! Next, we will talk about simpler situations - the choice of a lamp for reading in the bedroom and office work.
Situation No. 2 - Nightlight in the bedroom
If you decide to choose a table lamp in order to make it a bedside night lamp, then there is no need to worry about good quality lighting. The main task of the lamp in this case is to make soft lighting in a small radius from itself, which will allow you to read a book in the evening. Do not forget about another important point - a bedside night lamp should be combined with the interior of the bedroom and visually complement it. In this case, we advise readers of the site Elecroexpert pick up a lamp with a beautiful lampshade, dimmer and matte light that will not “hit the eyes”.
Another important point - if you do not need a nightlight for reading, but only will be used in reality as a night lamp, you can choose a model with an original design, for example, in the form of a magic ball.
Situation No. 3 - Office Assistant
Well, the last application is in the office to illuminate the desk, in particular the area near the computer. In this case, there may not be any designer lampshades, the main thing is that the lamp shines well and does not create inconvenience.
We recommend that you consider the following tips when choosing a table lamp for use:
- The ceiling must create a diffusing bright light.
- If the lamp will decorate the desk of your office, it is better to choose manufacturing options such as stone, glass, metal and even brass.
- Again, it is better to refuse fluorescent bulbs, which, if damaged, can become a source of evaporation of mercury, which is dangerous to humans.
- The presence of a dimmer does not hurt. By the way, in this case you need to use special dimmable led bulbs.

That's all I wanted to tell you about how to choose a desk lamp for a student, reading and working in the office. By the way, in the first and last case, it is recommended to select bulbs with the “LTB” index, which means a warm white glow, as close as possible to daylight!

Not what I was looking for
Good day, I was faced with the choice of a lamp for my first grader. It turned out that it was not so simple. It is necessary to take into account many factors affecting the child’s eyesight, since you have to write a lot to read and the doctor said that the vision begins to sit down and you need to be careful not to wear glasses. As a result, having shoveled a bunch of sites and catalogs, I opted for industrial table lamps and not for pretty little lamps and lamps with ordinary bulbs. The following pluses are obtained saturated uniform light over the entire surface of the table, there is no shadow from the hands, etc. The effect of flickering of a lamp is completely eliminated, there are all certificates. and so on, in the end I settled on a VKG L-01 lamp.
Totally satisfied with the excellent light and convenient positioning. Unlike all store options, when an already faded lamp is also a shadow from the child’s hands and fingers. In general, I recommend.
Among such a variety of proposals it is difficult to choose a suitable lamp) Thanks to such resources for comprehensive information. I searched for a night lamp for a long time, because although I didn’t have a full-fledged table lamp, I didn’t want to set my eyesight (I often read in bed). On Avito, many options were found, including new ones. For the price the same as in the store. Until I regretted what I bought.
