Desk lamps are designed for task lighting and desk work such as drafting, drawing, and reading. They are usually small enough to be placed on small surfaces such as drawers and nightstands. They use the same bulb types as regular lamps, but usually smaller and often covered with decorative shades. They may be powered by batteries or connected to AC sockets.
Stability: Choose a desk lamp with a wide circular base to keep it from tipping or falling. Look for one with rubber padding for better stability on glass surfaces. If you work on a drafting table, you will need a clamp-on lamp because freestanding ones will slip on the sloped surface.
Bulb: Choose a desk lamp with a halogen or LED light to save on power costs without reducing brightness. These bulbs also last longer and produce less heat. Look for one with a dimmer to give you better control over brightness.
