The other type of table lamp is the desk lamp, or as it is sometimes called, the study lamp. This lamp is designed for task lighting and is used in places where activities such as studying, computer work and writing are done. These lamps are more functional in design and style and are often connected by a clamp to an adjacent shelf or piece of furniture. Desk lamps can also be free standing. Many desk lamps are adjustable and have heavy bases to avoid being easily knocked over. Again, the desk lamp is designed for its functional usefulness rather than its decorative appeal. Therefore, keep in mind what the lamp's purpose will be and select it accordingly. Be sure to select a lamp that has the right kind of fixture for the use the lamp is designed to serve. Always opt for the most energy efficient fixtures.

Lampshades: For general purpose lighting, it is better to choose a lamp with a lampshade that has some degree of transparency such as a fabric, weave, or glass that is light in color. A semi-transparent lampshade gives a room a softer look. On the other hand, a lampshade that has little transparency will provide a stronger, more concentrated light pattern which can create a dramatic effect. A lampshade that has a wider brim at the bottom will spread the light out toward the bottom which is good for a reading lamp.
