FAQ
How many lumens do I need for a lamp?
The ideal brightness depends on the type of lamp and how you plan to use it:
- Desk lamps: 400–800 lumens for focused tasks such as reading or working
- Table lamps: 300–700 lumens for softer, ambient lighting
- Floor lamps: 800–1500 lumens, depending on the size of the room and the level of illumination required
Which colour temperature is best for a lamp?
Warm white light (2700K–3000K) creates a cosy, relaxing atmosphere, making it well suited to bedrooms and living spaces. Neutral to cool white light (3500K–5000K) is better suited to reading, working and other tasks that require greater focus.
What is the difference between desk lamps, table lamps and floor lamps?
Desk lamps provide focused light for tasks such as reading or working. Table lamps offer softer ambient or decorative lighting, while floor lamps can illuminate a larger area or add accent lighting without taking up table space.
How can I choose the right lamp for my space?
Start by considering how you intend to use the lamp, whether for focused tasks or general ambience. Then consider its brightness, adjustability, size and how well it works with your existing furniture and room layout.
Are desk lamps better for protecting your eyes?
Desk lamps with adjustable brightness and colour temperature, together with flicker-free LED technology, can provide more comfortable lighting for reading or working at a screen and may help reduce eye strain.
Are LED lamps energy efficient?
Yes. LED lamps generally use less energy, produce less heat and have a much longer lifespan than traditional lighting options, making them an efficient choice for everyday use.
