Choosing cute desk lamps

A desk lamp is mainly used to
illuminate the work you do on the desk, which is mostly read.  This is the primary function of the
lamp.  There are many types of lamp
designs available today, and most are spoiled for choice.  With this variety come the cute desk lamps
that most appeal to the younger generation. 
Although the sweet brand of the table lamp may entice you to buy one,
it is important that you consider other important features that will help you
take advantage of not only the sweetness but also the
functionality.

Design

This
may come as a surprise but the design of the desk lamp will dictate how much
light you get on your desk.  This will
thus show the height of the desk lamp as well as whether the desk lamp is of
an adjustable type or not.  In order
for you to make a decision about this, consider your needs or reasons why you
should go for a cute desk lamp.  If the
purpose is to read, then choose one that is adjustable so that you get the
right height to illuminate your work
area.

Light
source

Not all cute desk lamps are
the same.  In fact, they come in
various forms that can contain lifeless creatures such as cats, rabbits,
cartoon characters and more.  Most of
these use different light sources to make them work as the manufacturers
intended.  You will find light bulbs,
halogen, fluorescent lamps, full spectrum, solar, battery and LED light
sources with the desk lamps.  Each of these
has unique advantages and disadvantages and will probably also cost different
amounts.  Remember the purpose for
which you want to buy the desk lamp and the budget you have set aside for
this.  Reading is a sensitive task, as
it requires lighting that is not only good for reading but also for your
vision.  Therefore, choose
wisely.

Additional
features

Apart from the two
important factors to consider above, you can also check if the table lamp has
any additional features that in the long run can save money or help you
perform other tasks.  This includes
whether the desk lamp is rechargeable, whether the light source can be
replaced, whether it is dimmable (even if the dimmer is not good for
reading), whether the lamp has a magnifying glass and whether the table lamp
can be attached to the desk or anything nearby.
