How To Choose A Table Lamp
There’s a few important questions you should ask yourself before buying a table lamp. Here are the measurements to consider before buying a new lamp:
- The overall size of the lamp in relation to the table – the lamp shouldn’t be more than 1.5 times taller than the surface it’s sitting on. Also, the shade’s diameter should be smaller than the width of the table so it doesn’t stick out.
- The lamp’s base and shade – You should also pay attention to the proportions of the lampshade in relation to the base.
- The length of the shade and the base – As a general idea, the lampshade length should be somewhere around 65% – 90% of the base length or a third of the lamp’s total height
Table Lamp Bulbs
You want to give special attention to your light bulbs. The wrong bulb would ruin the decor vibe of a table lamp.
Incandescent vs LED vs CFL Light Bulbs
The easy thing about light bulbs is how they can purchased at a local store. There was a time when incandescent bulbs were our only option. Nowadays they still exist but there’s also other types which have become more popular such as CFLs and LEDs.
CFL means compact fluorescent lamp and together with LEDs they cost more compared to incandescent bulbs.
Incandescent bulbs produce warmer light which some people prefer and they also work with dimmer switches. Some LED bulbs also work with dimmers but you should always check.
Dimmable Bulbs
Dimmable light bulbs are great if you want to be able to adjust the intensity of the light. For example, you can use them in the bedroom to create a cozy and relaxing mood. Some table lamps come with built-in dimmer switches but these can also be purchased separately.
Common Bulb Shapes
There’s also a distinction to be made between the different shapes light bulbs can have. The three most common ones are:
- A19 – this is the classic light bulb shape: round at the top with a little nub at the base
- Spiral – spiral-shaped bulbs, also referred to as twisted bulbs are your classic CFL bulbs which feature a long and thin fluorescent light spun into a coil.
- Candle – these are small and usually found in accent lamps or decorative electric candles and garlands.
Common Light Bulbs
These are the three most common base sizes for light bulbs:
- E26 – this is by far the most common size for table lamp bulbs. The bulbs measure 26mm in diameter and are considered the standard type.
- E17 – this is known as an intermediate base and it’s also fairly common on table lamps and desk lamps.
- E12 – these are small light bulbs, usually candle bulbs and they’re used predominantly in decorative lamps or night lights.
