        Brighten Up Your Space With One of These Desk Lamps

        I LOVE LAMP

        From touch lamps to lamps that know how much daylight is streaming in, there’s a lamp out there for everyone.

        Updated Sep. 01, 2020 3:49PM ET / Published Jun. 01, 2020 4:00PM ET 

        Anyone who truly knows me knows how passionate I am about lamps. I think it’s because I’m not the biggest fan of overhead lighting. Instead, I prefer a stylish, powerful lamp, or a few, that can disseminate light across a room to make it feel cozier, homier, warmer. But also, I find the process of picking out the perfect lamp extremely entertaining. It’s often really challenging to find a design you like, one that’s the right size, and one that utilizes the right kind of bulbs. To help you pick out the perfect soft light desk lamp, we’ve rounded up some of our favorites.

        FOR A DO IT ALL LAMP

        Dyson Lightcycle

        This is the future of desk lamps. It has a motion sensor and adapts intelligently to surrounding light, so no matter what the level of light it emits is perfect. Dyson says the LED lights inside will last for 60 years, which is pretty incredible, too.

        FOR A DESIGNY LAMP

        Anglepoise Type 75

        This is a design classic a la Pixar. Anglepoise lamps look good no matter what the rest of your decor may be. Originally launched in 1950, this lamp will never go out of style. It’s sleek, made of aluminum, and comes in a variety of fun colors. Plus, the bulb you need is included with the purchase so it’ll be ready to go from the second you take it out of the box.

        A desk lamp doesn’t have to be on display all the time. This lamp has a 180 degree flexible arm, so when you’re not using it, you can just fold it up and put it away with ease. It also has three color modes, three brightness levels, and a 90 degree base axis so it’s highly adjustable for any use.
