When buying a lamp in a store, as a rule, we are more often guided only by taste. This approach is very erroneous. It is always necessary to take into account the interior of the room and power, shape and size of the lamp, as well as its functionality. We suggest you get acquainted with the main nuances of the right choice of the lamp.
The size of the lamp is not so important if it plays only a decorative role, but when reading it should illuminate the necessary space well. As for the height, the most functional option, both for home and for the office, is a table lamp, the height and location of which can be adjusted. If the floor lamp is installed at the chair or sofa, make sure that the bottom of the lampshade is at the eye level of the seated. Thus, the light will not blind his eyes.
The proportions are important. A huge lamp is not suitable for a small table and vice versa – a very small lamp on a bulky table will look quite funny. Make sure that the base of the lamp is strong.
One of the main parameters of the lamp (especially for reading) is the power. The most optimal – at least 100 watts. If we take into account the fact that in many desktop lamps there are 60 watts bulbs, it is better to give preference to a lamp with the possibility of using bulbs of various capacities (from 50 to 150 watts). As an alternative, you can buy a lamp with several cartridges, including simultaneously or alternately.
When choosing a lamp, be sure to take into account the style of the room that it will illuminate. Therefore, it should be in harmony with the material of a particular piece of furniture. For example, you can pick up Luminescent Camelion lamps for your office.
Remember also that not every store exhibits the entire range of goods. Ask the seller or consultant to provide you with a catalog where, perhaps, there will be a suitable lamp.
