Table lamps with mount

Sufficient lighting is important in any room: in the office, bedroom, lounge, kitchen, bathroom and children's room. It is especially important in work areas in the evening when there is not enough sunlight. Modern desk lamps with mounting perfectly satisfy this need. And due to the large variety of current models, they will perfectly fit into any interior.

The table lamp with fastening is a lighting device which carries out practical and decorative functions. Like a classic lamp, this version has several main parts that ensure its uninterrupted operation - it is a support, a column, a body, an artificial light source and a power cord.

The support, or, as it is also called, the base, is presented in the form of a clamp, which secures the design to the table or surface.A clamp is a fixture consisting of a clamp and a fixed frame. Thanks to her, the lamp is attached to the table with a thickness of up to 6 centimeters. In a simplified version, the support can be made in the form of a large clothespin and fastened even to the wall.

A column of a desk lamp with a mount looks like a flexible leg connecting the base and the body. It allows you to change the direction of the luminous flux due to the mobility of the parts that make up. In the role of the body is the socket, which directs the light. It is made of glass, metal and plastic in various colors.

Artificial light source - the main component of any lighting device. For lighting, LED, fluorescent and incandescent lamps can be used.

Almost always, a desk lamp with a mount has a switch on the pole or power cord. Expensive models are made with a brightness adjustment mechanism.Because of this, there is a reduction in energy consumption and, consequently, a reduction in fees for it. And thanks to the smooth start-up increases the durability of the entire structure.

Table lamps with fastening are identical in purpose, but varied in their appearance, design and color. This article will not confuse the variety of modern models and will help with the choice.

Various lamps are designed for operation of the following types of light bulbs:

• LED;
• fluorescent;
• incandescent lamps.

Typically, dim lamps with a power of 60 W are used, since table lamps are designed for spot lighting of the surface.

There are several types of fastening support table lamp:

• clamp;
• pin;
• sucker;
• bracket.

The special design of the clamp allows the device to be fixed on the table. The lamp on the clothespin, thanks to its simple structure, will be able to install even a child.Although it is easier to budge, unlike the first option. Suction cup - not the most popular type of attachment. It can withstand a small weight, so the lamp on the suction cup serves, rather, for decorative functions.

But thanks to the bracket the lamp can be hung on the wall next to the table. This option frees up the workspace and allows you to direct light from above. But it is quite difficult to install: it requires the use of a drill, dowels and construction level.

Floor lamps vary in color and material. And if the color variety is impossible to describe, then classification of materials may be as follows:

• metal;
• plastic;
• glass;
• textile.

Metal surfaces are durable and give the whole structure reliability. However, this lamp has considerable weight. But light plastic lamps can be painted in different colors and have a low price. But they, like glass floor lamps have considerable fragility. There are also a variety of beautiful textile lamps with a metal body.

The advantages of this design include:

• the ability to control the direction of the light flux due to the flexibility of the device;
• saving of working space due to the small size of the support and the possibility of mounting on the wall of some species;
• static mounting, which allows not to be afraid of tipping and falling down of the lamp;
• ease of construction;
• the ability to choose the power of the light bulb for each type of lamp;
• long service life when using the rules of use;
• diverse design patterns.

The weak points of such lamps are:

• difficulty masking the power cord;
• the difficulty of installing the lamp on the bracket;
• considerable weight of metal models;
• the fragility of glass floor lamps.

The quality of the lighting, the results of your work and your health depend on the choice of a desk lamp with a mount. It's no secret that a properly selected lamp can create a comfortable eye environment. This article will list the features that you should pay attention to before buying the product.

Selection begins with determining the desired location of the lamp. Table lamps with fastening can be located directly on the table top or on the wall above the working area. For the first case, lamps on a clamp, a clothespin or a suction cup are suitable. For the second - on the bracket.

The height of a good lamp is not more than 0.5 m from the available surface. The light source must be above the monitor and to the left of the person. But if you write with your left hand, then vice versa, on the right. The power cord should reach the outlet, but not hang down and not be taut. To do this, before going to the store, measure the length from the table to the outlet in the house.

The shape of the floor lamp is better to choose a spherical or conical, as long as the light bulb does not go beyond it. These species create the necessary dispersion, do not “press” on the eyes and do not cause fatigue. And the most pleasant colors for the body are light green and white. Especially they are suitable for schoolchildren, as they will calm and relax.

The quality of the device is not something to save on.For a high price you gain comfort, reliability and maintain your health. The easiest way to determine the quality of the lamp on the stability of the cartridge.
