    How many lumens does a designer table lamp need?

    That’s always a matter of taste, however, 300 - 400 lumens are sufficient for a table lamp to provide area lighting. After all, there is no need to light up the entire room - on the contrary, a table lamp is commonly used to provide cosy lighting accents, sufficient for leafing through a book, for example.

    Where is the best place for a designer table lamp?

    When investing in a designer table lamp, make it the pride of place in your home! A designer table lamp looks fantastic:

    • on a side table
    • on a chest of drawers
    • on a window sill
    • on a bedside table
    • and, of course, on a desk

    Tip: If you are right-handed, the lamp should to be placed on the left-hand side; and the other way around if you are left-handed. This makes sure that your hand will not cast any distracting shadows while working or studying. Also, please use additional lighting when you are working for an extended period. This reduces the stark contrast between the light desk and the darkness in the rest of the room and ensures that your eyes stay fresh and alert.

    There is no room for discussion – the arguments are clearly favour of LEDs. After all, you want to save energy and enjoy almost maintenance-free technology over a long period of time. The following overview illustrates why a lot of designer table lamps feature LED technology:

    • Energy savings of 90 % in comparison to traditional incandescent light bulbs.
    • Energy savings of 60 % in comparison to halogen bulbs.
    • LEDs last 50 times longer than traditional light bulbs (up to 50,000 hours).
    • LEDs are 100 % bright, immediately after they are turned on.
    • LEDs are environmentally friendly, since they do not contain mercury.
    • LEDs are very durable. There is no filament that can burn through.
    • Built-in LED technology is space-saving, allowing for flat, compact designs.
