Choosing Lameke Lamps: A Practical Guide to Table, Floor and Wall Lights

A decorative lamp should light your room effectively and fit into your everyday life. That’s why choosing Lameke lamps involves more than just looks. The lampshade, bulb fitting, maximum wattage, cable length and controls all affect whether a light is right for your bedside table, desk or living room.

Common buying mistakes with decorative indoor lighting

1. Assuming attractive materials guarantee good lighting

Jute, fabric, wood and glass all shape a lamp’s appearance. They also affect how much light is diffused or blocked. A thick fabric shade creates softer, indirect lighting, while an open or light-coloured shade can let more light into the room. So when choosing a reading lamp for the living room, the shape isn’t the only thing to consider.

2. Wattage doesn’t tell you directly how bright a bulb will be

For the models listed, “maximum 40 W” or “maximum 60 W” refers to the permitted power consumption of the bulb. With LED bulbs, lumens are the key measure of brightness. Before buying, check which bulb fits the lamp and whether it is suitable for the stated maximum wattage.

3. Underestimating the space needed where you plan to put the lamp

A wide table lamp can feel cramped on a narrow bedside table. With a floor lamp, you need to consider the base diameter as well as the height. In a hallway or bedroom, make sure there’s enough clearance around doors, curtains and walkways. Before ordering, always check the product dimensions, including the shade diameter, base size and overall height.

The key things to consider when choosing Lameke lamps

Fitting, bulb and maximum wattage

Many of the models in this selection use an E27 fitting, including several Lameke table lamps, the Lameke floor lamp and the Lameke wall lamp. E27 bulbs have a larger screw base and are available in a wide range of LED options. Smaller lights, such as the Lameke Table Lamp with Woven Shade and the Lameke Light Wood Table Lamp with Fabric Shade, have an E14 fitting.

Check the following:

  • Fitting type: The E27 or E14 fitting must match your bulb.
  • Maximum wattage: Depending on the model, the maximum may be 25 W, 40 W, 60 W or 100 W.
  • Colour temperature: Warm white is often a good choice for a cosy, ambient glow; neutral white may be more practical at a desk.
  • Bulb shape: Make sure the bulb fits inside the shade, particularly if it’s narrow.

Shade material and light distribution

A table lamp with a fabric shade or a floor lamp with a fabric shade can soften and diffuse the light. Jute and woven shades also add natural texture. If you’re choosing a wood and jute lamp, check that its dimensions suit your furniture and that it’s intended for indoor use only.

Glass, metal and fabric each create a different look:

  • Fabric and jute: Create a more diffused light and a cosy feel.
  • Glass: Can allow more light to spread visibly around the room, depending on its shape and tint.
  • Wood: Adds a natural accent, but is usually paired with a fabric shade.
  • Metal: Creates a defined frame and can add a contrasting design feature.

Controls, cables and installation

An in-line switch is handy on table and floor lamps if the socket is easy to reach. A lamp with a pull switch is particularly useful beside a bed or on a chest of drawers, as you can operate the switch on the lamp itself. An adjustable-height model can also suit furniture of different heights.

For a wall lamp, check the mounting plate, fixings and connection type. The Lameke Wood and Gold Wall Lamp with Fabric Shade is described as including instructions, screws and fixing parts. Any work on a fixed electrical connection should be carried out by a suitably qualified electrician.

Frequently asked questions about Lameke lamps

Which Lameke lamp is best for a bedside table?

Compact models with a switch on the cable or lamp itself are handy for a bedside table. E14 models usually take up less space; with E27 table lamps, make sure the shade diameter suits your bedside table. Check the height, base width and cable position before ordering.

What’s the difference between E14 and E27 table lamps?

E14 and E27 refer to different screw fittings. E14 is the smaller type, while E27 is the larger standard fitting. The bulb must match the fitting exactly. You should also check the maximum wattage, bulb shape and whether the lamp is intended for indoor use.

How can you estimate a lamp’s running costs?

Electricity costs depend on the bulb’s power consumption, how long you use it each day and the price of electricity. An LED bulb with a lower wattage may use less energy than a traditional bulb while providing similar brightness. For a reliable estimate, use the wattage shown on the bulb and your actual usage time.
