Desk lamp
A desk lamp illuminates your workplace and provides you with bright light. Without the annoying shadows that often occur when ceiling lighting is used in the office, it creates an atmosphere in which you can concentrate on your work. You should pay attention to the light intensity of the illuminant here.
Depending on the size of your workplace, any light source that is bright at the same time and has a wide beam of light is recommended for a desk lamp. This way, your workplace will be evenly lit. LED lamps in particular come into focus here thanks to their long service life and low consumption.
Bedside lamp
A bedside lamp is a practical embellishment of your bedroom. Thanks to different designs, it adapts to any living concept and can fulfill various functions. In the evening, for example, you can use it as a reading lamp and during the day as decorative lighting.
The light intensity of the lamps is therefore also an important criterion here.

Table lamps as a decorative element
Table lamps are not just a source of light, they also represent their own decorative element in your home. Striking colors and shapes are not only allowed in Pop Art style. Unusual designs that attract attention, natural materials such as wood, or modern fabrics such as metal enable you to choose the right table lamp for your living concept.
From the artfully decorated base of the lamp to the shade, which can project effective shadows on the wall and ceiling through various structures and treatments: table lamps are functional and decorative at the same time.
Depending on the model and design, you are particularly flexible when choosing the light source. All common light sources are suitable for pleasant, warm white light. However, if the light intensity is to be increased, LED lights are advisable. When properly staged, a table lamp will inspire your visitors with great lighting effects and creative design ideas.
Indirect lighting
As is known from ceiling washers and wall lights, indirect light has a relaxing, unobtrusive, and cozy effect. This type of lighting is also not a problem with table lamps. With the right model and the right lampshade, you can create a pleasant atmosphere that invites you to linger. Lampshades coated on the inside are particularly suitable for indirect lighting. The light source you have chosen should have a low light intensity or be dimmable because too intense indirect lighting can quickly become intrusive.
