What is our love of desk lamps all about? Aren’t they just used for lighting paper on a desk? Definitely not! Desk lamps are versatile lights that have become something to adore for their design as well as their light.[DFR::e42aa766-872e-2b18-5038-909070faa098-2687-af|align_right_1]

Lamps have a major role to play in the illumination of every home, and not just for lighting our way. Intelligently designed and placed lights can create just the right mood, illumine that special painting, and throw those less than beautiful pieces into shadow.

Desk lamps can be used to create all of the above effects. The modern desk lamp is normally fairly compact meaning they can be positioned just about anywhere in the home. Desk lamps are also the simplest to install just requiring you to plug them into the nearest electrical socket, and then move them to the desired position that you require the light.

Modern desk lamps are as far removed from the old anglepoise lamps as it’s possible to be. Gone, unless you want them, are those no-frills, jointed flexible arms, which have been replaced by infinitely adjustable, snake-like stands, making it possible to point the light in any direction without moving the base.

Another feature that has developed over the years is the way you turn a desk lamp on and off, the old on/off switch in the cabling is still considered the classic way you can now buy desk lamps that are touch and sound sensitive.

Kids love a touch sensitive desk lamp, great for impressing their friends and the ideal choice as that comforting night lamp allowing you to dim the light to the required level.[DFR::1052310c-3ce2-2ba1-be7c-ff805778b08a-2687-af|align_left_1]

There is something for the young adults in the house particularly those who have left that school homework until the last minute. A desk lamp is great for giving the light needed in the early hours of the morning and allowing the rest of the house to sleep undisturbed.

I don’t think there is a house out there that doesn’t have a desk lamp of some shape or form. They are extremely flexible allowing you to move them around the house easily. Desk lamps never seem to get put out for rubbish as there is always a use for that tatty old desk lamp in the garage or shed!
