What to Consider When Buying a New Lamp

When buying a new lamp for your room, you must first consider the type of room you are shopping for. What effect do you want this room to have? LED lamps are a popular choice when wanting to light a work area, and LEDs provide a clear and bright light which makes an easier working space.

However, if you are looking for something cozier, you may consider dimmable table lamps, ground lights, and floor lamps. These can be used for both basic lighting and mood lights. No matter your personal preference, Conns HomePlus has an endless selection for you to choose from.

Selecting a New Lamp

Sometimes, all it takes is the perfect lamp to tie it all together when decorating your home. But what is the perfect lamp? How do you choose the perfect lamp? Below are four considerations when choosing your new lamp.

Shade Height – to determine the height size for your lamp, determine where you will place the lamp. Measure from the surface where the lamp will be placed to eye level. This is considered your base measurement. Next, to find the average size of the lampshade, divide the base measurement by three. This will give you the average size for your lampshade.

Height Size – to determine the height of your lamp, you will need to add 18” to the shade measurement.

Shade Style – the look and the shape of the lamp are important when considering the style of your home. You will also need to consider a shade that best matches the lamp you will be using. If you are using the lamp while watching TV – an opaque or dark shade may help minimize the light. However, for reading light, a semi-opaque may be a better option.

Choosing Light Bulbs – if you purchase a lamp for reading, it is recommended to use a light bulb with 60 watts or more. If you would rather opt for an energy-saving LED bulb, look at the lumens output of the LED and the rating. You will want the light bulb to be close to 60 watts.
