Choose the best table lamp for you
A proficient reading light will illuminate your reading space and focus light directly toward your book, allowing you to read each page clearly. A reading light is a form of task lighting that offers a focused beam of light to accompany activities that require a well-lit environment. A common mistake when looking for reading lights is purchasing a table lamp with style over functionality. If your table lamp offers ambient light, you will create beautiful lighting in the home, however, this may strain your eyes when reading due to lighting quality and brightness.
Although task lighting is the main element of a great reading light, there are many more features to consider. Here are some of the top table lamps our expert desk lamp manufacturers recommend if looking for your next reading light.
Adjustable Table Lamp
Adjustable table lamps are a must-have in every book lover’s home. Designed to adjust the height, reach, and angle of light, you can be sure to illuminate your reading space in any position. Not only are adjustable table lamps a practical lighting solution, but they offer statement designs to complement any interior. Beautiful in form and function, adjustable table lamps will meet your desire for effective reading light and illuminate your space in style.
The Borgillo is our top pick for adjustable table lamps, offering a classic design with mobility in the lamp head and body. With a stylish chrome finish and an easy-to-access in-line switch, the Borgillo has it all! Brighten your reading nook with this timeless design and create a cosy corner in your living room for years to come.
LED Table Lamp
If you are looking for a table lamp with modern technology, unique designs, and better energy efficiency, consider an LED table lamp to illuminate your reading space. With countless benefits, integrated LED table lamps are a smart choice when looking to create a personalised reading environment. Not only can you adjust the brightness of the light, but LED table lamps often have colour-changing capabilities to ensure you can find the ideal light for every mood.
Our Simolaris-Z table lamp is a notable example of modern LED lighting. As part of our Smart home range, the table lamp is controllable via a free App to adjust brightness, colour temperature and set timers. With tunable white light and a range of RGB colours, find the optimum reading light for any time of the day. Top tip: We recommend setting your LED reading light to 4000-5000K/neutral white light to stay focused without straining your eyes.
QI Charging Table Lamp
Wireless charging is becoming all the rage, and this innovative technology has made its way into the lighting industry. Doubling as a wireless charging dock and a table lamp, QI charging table lamps are perfect for decluttering your reading space and removing excess wires. Take a break from modern-day distractions and leave your phone to charge the next time you pick up your favourite book.
The Masserie is a sleek and stylish QI charging table lamp. With a classic design and all-white finish, there is no doubt this table lamp will complement all interior styles. Functional lighting at its finest, the Masserie table light offers integrated LED components with a 3-step touch dimming feature and a QI charging dock. Switch off from your phone when you next switch on your reading light and enjoy some downtime with the Masserie table lamp.
Clip-on Table Lamp
Your reading space should make you feel calm, but often, people can be overwhelmed by wires and too much clutter. That is why clip-on table lamps are such a versatile lighting solution. Clip-on table lamps can clamp onto the end of your side table or desk to illuminate your reading area without taking up any surface space.
With a versatile design, the Laroa clip-on table lamp is a modern fixture that will provide focused lighting to your reading corner without drawing focus from your home decor. Move the wireless table lamp from room to room with ease and illuminate any area using the clip-on element. The Laroa table lamp has integrated LED components and a 4-step touch dimming function, allowing you to adjust the brightness quickly and easily. The Laroa is a practical lighting solution for bookworms who love to read in clutter-free environments and move around from room to room.
Flexible Table Lamp
Flexible table lamps are a staple for living room reading lights. This timeless design features a narrow beam that focuses light directly onto your book rather than around the room and a flexible neck, which allows you to adjust the direction.
The Snapora is our top choice for flexible reading lighting due to its long neck and thin light source. With integrated LED components, the Snapora produces a warm white light through the narrow beam and will provide the perfect task lighting to keep you reading all night. Think it cannot get better? The Snapora is battery operated, meaning no annoying cables to keep you tied to one sofa and an integrated touch dimmer that allows you to adjust the brightness with one simple tap.
The Verdict
There are many functions and features to look out for when choosing a reading light for your living room. Task lighting is non-negotiable, but adjustability, lighting quality, versatility and style should all be considered when deciding on your next reading lamp.
