Desk Lamps

Ever wonder why when you go to the store there are Desk Lamps, table lamps, and pool table lamps and yet they all look so similar? The varying names are more about the purpose of the lamp and the size than the actual differences.

You’ve got your desk and need additional lighting for those late nights or for the tedious work that needs to be done. Desk lamps work well because of their small size and the convenience that they offer in portability. Usually shorter with small lamp shades or they may have a flexible neck and a non-removable shade to help direct the light better. Desk lamps have often become a standard in most home and business offices.

There are also table lamps that come in so many different sizes and are more based on the size of the table than the lamp itself. These get used in the living room and sometimes are also known as reading lamps. Or in the bedrooms as night stand lamps. A nice feature with these is that they all look so different and come in so many fun designs to match any room.

Finally, the pool table lamps that don’t necessarily have to be on a pool table are not even used on pool tables always. These are short with two lamps heads that come out both sides of the stand. These sometimes can be seen on office desk because of the unique style and interesting look of them. Pool table lamps are a great addition to any room and could be used near a pool table, just not necessarily on it!

The differences between these lamps are so minor that they are practically interchangeable. They are more about the look and need then the name itself.
