A table lamp should do more than simply fill an empty space on a sideboard. It influences the lighting atmosphere, needs a suitable surface and must be compatible with your existing power supply. If you choose based solely on colour or shape, it is easy to overlook important details.
Many products advertise a dimming function. However, the product description may distinguish between four brightness levels, infinitely variable adjustment and simple on/off control. With a bedside lamp, it is also important to check whether it is operated via touch control, an in-line switch, pull chain or rotary switch.
An LED table lamp with a permanently installed light source generally does not require a separate bulb. However, if the LED develops a fault, it normally cannot be replaced by the user. With a table lamp featuring an E27 socket or E14 socket, the bulb can be replaced separately and selected according to its colour temperature and brightness.
A decorative table lamp can appear smaller in product images than it actually is. Before buying, you should therefore compare the height, diameter and base dimensions with those of your bedside table, desk or sideboard. The cable outlet and switch position can also affect practical use.
For a lamp in the bedroom or hallway, compact dimensions are often a sensible choice. Models around 14 to 21 cm high are suitable for smaller bedside tables and shelves. Larger lights with a wider fabric shade need more space between them and walls, curtains and decorations.
A stable, level surface reduces the risk of the lamp being knocked over. Heavy materials such as marble or metal can provide a firm base, but they also increase the weight and make it harder to move the lamp later.
For ambient lighting, low brightness is often sufficient. For example, the Aigostar lamp is specified as 1 W and 105 lm and offers an adjustable colour temperature from 2700 K to 6500 K. Warm white light in the region of 2700 to 3000 K is often chosen for living rooms and bedrooms; more neutral or cooler settings can be useful at a desk.
For a reading lamp, the actual direction of the light is just as important as its colour temperature. An opaque fabric shade distributes light softly, while an open or transparent shade can create stronger highlights and shadows. A table lamp with a glass shade often has decorative appeal, but it should be positioned so that the bulb does not cause glare.
With an E27 table lamp or E14 table lamp, you should pay attention to the permitted maximum wattage. According to the product details, the Lameke Curved Arm Table Lamp with Dome Shade has an E27 socket and is designed for a maximum of 40 W. The Lameke Modern Globe Table Lamp has an E14 socket with a maximum of 25 W. Always follow the specification for the particular model; it must not be exceeded by using a higher-wattage bulb.
With LED bulbs, the wattage cannot be directly equated with the brightness of older incandescent bulbs. For comparison, lumens, colour temperature and beam angle are more informative.
A cordless table lamp with a rechargeable battery can be positioned flexibly on a table or shelf. However, you need to check the charge level regularly. A USB table lamp can be powered from a laptop, USB power adapter or power bank. The Aigostar model includes a USB cable; according to the product details, a mains adapter is not included.
Mains-powered models provide a continuous power supply, but require a socket within reach. It is worth checking the cable length before buying. The Atmosphera Zola, for example, is specified with a 100 cm cable, while several Lameke models have around 1.6 m of exposed cable.

We have put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the safety regulations applicable in the EU.
Warm white light between around 2700 K and 3000 K is often chosen for a bedside lamp. It creates a less clinical feel than cooler light. For focused work, a more neutral setting may be preferable. An adjustable colour temperature gives you more flexibility.
Consumption depends on the power draw and how long the lamp is used each day. A 1 W lamp running for five hours per day uses 5 Wh in theory. The wattage determines the ongoing running costs. With permanently installed LEDs, you should also check the warranty, stated service life and whether the light source can be replaced.
A table lamp with a glass shade can be used in the bedroom, provided it is designed for dry indoor areas and stands securely on a stable surface. The shade must not be damaged, and the light must not be covered. For softer light distribution, a table lamp with a fabric shade may be a suitable alternative.
