Proposed Bed room Table Lamps Are you thinking about acquiring a table lamp for your bedroom? If so, here are some things you might consider before getting one. For starters, will you be using the lamp to read by? One consideration is whether you’re going to be needing to use the lamp for reading. Proper lighting for reading is vital, particularly as we get to middle age. Even for people who seldom read in bed, having a quality reading lamp can help prevent headaches and eyestrain due to improper lighting. The bulb should at least be as bright as a sixty watt incandescent bulb for reading. You ought to hold the book as close to the lamp as you conveniently can, because lamps lose a lot of their brightness from even a short distance. Glare can cause problems when you hold a book near a lamp. You ought to make certain the light from the lamp doesn’t strike your eyes after it hits the book and reflects off it. To test this, you can set a mirror on top of the book when you’re reading by the lamp; if the light that reflects off the mirror hits your eyes, change the angle of the light by moving yourself or the lamp. A three-way bulb or a dimmer switch can adjust the luminosity of the lamp for mood lighting. If you purchase a floor lamp for a child’s room, it must be indestructible and safe. Halogen bulbs aren’t recommended, because they pose a fire hazard and can burn kids. A lampshade should never extend past the perimeter of a table. A lamp-shade made of semi-opaque paper or fabric will lend a warm, flattering glow. An opaque lampshade reduces glare from lamps that are close to a television set. Drum shades fit in well with a modern decor, while conical shades work better in a more conventional bedroom.

Five popular styles of table lamps are shown here: Wrought Iron Lamps These lamps are constructed of parts and bars of wrought iron. The iron can be formed, welded or bent, lending itself to an unlimited number of designs. You can put various varieties of finishes on them. A light and natural background colour, like cream, pearl white or tan, sets wrought iron lamps off nicely.

Tiffany Lamps The lamp shades, created of hand-rolled stained art glass, are what characterize these lamps. The light that filters through these classy lamps is breathtaking. Authentic stained art glass consistently has seeds, lines or bubble in it, so don’t worry if you locate some. They exhibit the beauty of homemade art. Because all hand-rolled art glass has many subtle shadings, every Tiffany lamp is truly unique.

Wood Lamps Because wood is warm and appealing, it’s a popular choice for a lamp material. Its organic look soothes the minds of observers. Most wooden lamps have standard styling, but the richness of wood also imparts itself to today’s modern table lamp styles.

Mica Lamps Mica is a layered mineral that easily separates into very skinny clear sheets. Its colours range from yellow to green, black or pale brown. When light shines through a mica lamp-shade, it produces a mystic look that hypnotises you.
