More About Desk Lamps

Welcome to the Huntoffice UK Desk & Floor Lamps section. Desk & floor lamps can be used in any area of the home or office to not only bring a little extra light where needed but to also add to the atmosphere and the overall décor of the room. Choosing a desk or floor lamp help eliminate the stress and strain on your eyes which can be caused by poor lighting.

Here at huntoffice we have a great assortment of various types of desk & floor lamps. You can choose among different light source technologies: standard GLS blubs, fluorescent bulbs, low energy halogen bulbs and LED bulbs. LED lamps provide light that is almost exactly the same as daylight which is great when doing close up work. A lot of lamps that we sell have automatic switch off function and dimmer switches. The range includes a selection of colours and designs. The well-known brands we offer include Helix, Unilux, Idelec, Merit and Retro.

Tips for choosing desk & floor lamps:

Location – The first thing you should decide on is where you intend to place the desk or floor lamp. Choosing the location will determine exactly the type of desk or floor lamp you need to go for. If there is poor lighting in a certain area of a large room, a floor lamp or uplighter would probably be the best choice. Whereas if you have an area such as a hallway or small room you want to improve or add more concentrated lighting for reading a desk lamp might be more suitable.

Purpose – You should next determine what it is you will be using the lamp for as various lamps are designed for different purposes. For example, is it specifically for decoration purposes, to set the ambiance in a room or is it to help you see correctly while you work or read?

• Desk Lamps can be placed and adjusted to direct the light onto a certain area of your desktop making them the perfect choice for those that need to read documents, write or anything that requires additional light. 

• For more intricate work such as sewing, arts and crafts or soldering for example, a magnifying lamp might be more suitable. Magnifying lamps offer powerful fluorescent lighting as well as excellent magnification to allow you to perform your tasks more effectively without straining your eyes.

• Uplighters and floor lamps are ideal for adding additional light to a room and transforming dark corners. Not only do they create a nice ambiance in a room but they are very portable and can be moved around easily to be placed in a reading area next to a chair or table.  

Style – Once you have decided on the type of desk or floor lamp you are going to go for you should think about the right style and design to compliment the area you are placing it. Here on Huntoffice UK we have a wide variety of contemporary desk & floor lamps to choose from including black, titanium, white, chrome, glass shade and silver finishes which are available in many sizes to suit your interior.
