Table Lamps Overview
Functional and decorative lighting for your home
A table lamp brings light exactly where you need it – whether for reading, working, or creating a pleasant atmosphere in the evening. It complements your general lighting and creates small islands of light throughout your home. At EGLO, you’ll find a wide selection of table lamps that combine functionality and style. From compact models to eye-catching designs, there are solutions for different rooms and requirements. If you’re looking to buy a table lamp, it’s worth paying attention to brightness, light color, and size. This ensures your lamp not only looks great but also provides the right level of illumination.
Table Lamps by Application
In living areas, table lamps for the living room provide pleasant additional lighting. They complement general lighting (approx. 100–150 lm²) and create cozy light zones on sideboards or side tables. A table lamp for the bedroom should primarily provide glare-free light for a relaxed atmosphere. Warm white light between 2,700 and 3,300 Kelvin is often chosen for living and sleeping spaces. If you prefer brighter light, other light colors can also be used.
Table Lamps by Function
A dimmable table lamp offers maximum flexibility. You can adjust the brightness to suit any situation – from functional lighting to soft ambient light in the evening. With an LED table lamp, you can choose a practical lighting solution for everyday use. LEDs reach full brightness instantly. If you’re planning to buy a table lamp, lumen values can help guide your decision:
200–400 lumens → ideal for bedside tables or accent lighting
400–800 lumens → suitable for reading or working
For the right lighting effect, light color also plays an important role:
Living rooms, bedrooms and dining areas: often warm white (2,700–3,300 K)
Workspaces: often neutral white (3,300–5,300 K)
The best choice always depends on your personal preferences and the atmosphere you want to create.
Table Lamps by Style
A modern table lamp fits perfectly into clean, minimalist interiors. It feels light, functional and timeless. If you’re specifically looking for beautiful table lamps, materials and details play a major role. Combinations of metal, glass or fabric create different lighting effects and add distinctive accents to your home.
Materials & Designs
The size of your table lamp directly influences its effect within a room. A small table lamp is ideal for bedside tables or compact surfaces and provides targeted lighting. A large table lamp makes a statement and is particularly suitable for living spaces where it also serves as a decorative feature. The material also makes a difference: fabric shades create soft, diffused light, while glass or metal directs light more precisely.
Cordless & Rechargeable Table Lamps
A rechargeable table lamp offers exceptional flexibility. You can use it independently of power outlets and place it wherever light is needed – even temporarily or on the go.
LED Table Lamps
LED table lamps are particularly suitable for everyday use and provide consistent, reliable light.
Designer & Unique Table Lamps
Distinctive shapes and high-quality materials make table lamps an integral part of your interior design. This allows light to become a deliberate design element
