Table Lamps

Table lamps in general

Table lamps, often referred to as desk lamps, reading lamps, or simply lamps, are more compact versions of floor lamps designed to be placed on flat surfaces such as tables or dressers. The Valaisin Grönlund collection offers a wide variety of table lamps to suit different purposes. The range includes table lamps with fabric shades, adjustable desk lamps, ambient lighting lamps that enhance the atmosphere and style of a room, general lighting lamps, and bright LED table lamps.

Bedside and shaded table lamps

Bedside table lamps with shades are perfect for placing on nightstands in the bedroom, providing secondary lighting when the ceiling light is the primary source. Their convenient placement makes them easy to use when waking up or going to bed. Table lamps with fabric shades add coziness and ease of use, as the shades can be easily removed and replaced. Adjustable lamps are ideal for reading in bed, allowing light to be directed exactly where it’s needed.

Desk lamps

A desk lamp provides direct light to your workspace, whether for work or hobbies. Many desk lamps feature a swivel, bendable, or otherwise adjustable arm, allowing the light to be directed precisely where it’s needed. Our selection includes models that use E14, E27, or GU10 bulbs, as well as models with integrated LED elements for efficient lighting. Some models even come with a built-in USB port for charging phones, tablets, or other devices.

Ambient and decorative table lamps

Not all of our lamps are designed solely for efficient lighting; some are specifically crafted to create ambiance and bring light to the darker corners of a room. Ambient and decorative table lamps stand out with their ornamental design, stylish aesthetics, and subtle details. Our collection includes crystal table lamps, decorative lamps adorned with silver chains, lamps featuring ceramic elements, and those with elegant metal details.

Table lamps for general lighting

A table lamp can serve as an effective source of general lighting in any space. Such lamps often feature opal or frosted glass shades that diffuse light evenly around the room without causing glare. It’s important to consider the color temperature, as it significantly affects the room’s overall ambiance. In homes, a typical color temperature is 3000 Kelvin, producing a warm white light. A 4000 Kelvin color temperature provides a more neutral light, suitable for specific lighting needs.

LED table lamps

The Design by Grönlund collection includes many LED table lamps across all mentioned categories. LED lamps feature an integrated LED element that doesn’t need to be replaced, making them highly user-friendly. Advantages of LED lamps include their efficient light output relative to size, pleasant and even light distribution, and the ability to adjust light intensity in some models. The appearance of LED lamps is often modern, and the shapes can vary greatly due to the flexibility in design that LED technology allows.

Choosing a bulb for your table lamp

When selecting a bulb, it’s important to consider the color temperature, as it greatly influences the room’s overall look. The color temperatures should be as consistent as possible across different lamps to ensure uniform lighting. A 3000 Kelvin warm light is suitable for most homes, while a 4000 Kelvin light is popular in office spaces. Different color temperatures can create contrasts, where, for example, a 4000 Kelvin light may appear cooler compared to the warmer tone of a 3000 Kelvin light.

The style of the bulb also matters: the market offers traditional opal glass bulbs as well as stylish LED filament bulbs. Filament bulbs are aesthetically pleasing, especially when the bulb is a visible part of the lamp. While the light output of a filament bulb may be slightly lower than that of an opal glass bulb, its appearance compensates for this. Today, most bulbs use LED technology, though halogen bulbs are still available. Halogen bulbs generate more heat than LED or energy-saving bulbs and are not suitable for enclosed or small shades. Product labels will indicate the recommended wattage limits for bulbs.

Bulbs like E27, E14, G9, and GU10 operate directly on 230V mains power without needing a separate transformer. However, 12-volt G4 bulbs require a suitable transformer, depending on whether an LED or halogen bulb is used. This is crucial for ensuring compatibility between the lamp and the bulb.
