When choosing a table lamp remember the following options
for lighting: task and ambiance lighting. Task lighting will require
placing a lamp somewhere it is needed for reading or project, or to
allow light into a certain hall or area. When setting an area for task
lighting, always make sure you know how much light you need.
Ambiance lighting is mostly used for lamps and finding
the right lamp will involve several factors. First, remember to consider
the amount of daylight the area receives. You may want to utliize the
lamp during the evening hours in order to conserve energy and lower
electric billing costs. Secondly, ensure that your lamp is not used
for long periods of time. Leaving a lamp on for longer than a few hours
can burn out bulbs quickly and may aid to starting a fire. Finally,
check for electric outlets. Extension cords should be used as little
as possible to avoid accidents and fires.
