Best table lamps according to redditors

Hey there! Just finished setting up the nursery and writing this from my hospital bed during the induction process. Loved seeing everyone's nurseries! 


A few very smart humans before me said to decorate with things that you like or things that can live in the rest of the house. It really stuck with me and with kids toys being so loud, I kept the base elements simple and soft.  Honestly it's my favorite room in the house and both my doggos love to chill in there waiting for their bud to join :)

The plants :) most hailing from Flora Grubb in SF and planters from Etsy and Flora Grubb.

Pillows, pretty sure the succulent is from Society6

Black and White throw, won't last long in the kids room, but from the couch and probably Ikea.

Rug: originally in our office (now kids room) is from ruggable. It's machine washable and w two older doggos, totally saves the day. 

Posters from Society6.

The crib was a hand-me-down from friends.

The mattress is also off Amazon. $219 for the mattress, it's the 12 inch Zenus Memory foam in Full Size. I was pleasantly surprised at it's comfort level, considering I was coming down from a $3k King from Mattress Firm, it certianly wasn't 12x the comfort.

Nice, they have a dog one too!

Why not just post the amazon link?

https://www.amazon.com/Philips-Ambiance-Wellner-Dimmable-Assistant/dp/B0716C5FTP/

Sorry, but it is a discontinued model from Target :(

Believe me, I want more of this but they don't sell anything like this anymore. Closest ones are this one from Amazon and this from IKEA. Probably could find similar models but yeah this lamp is really nice as hell. Calming, too. I've got a LED bulb in it with soft white.

Apparently a $49.99 packaging of it as well.

Just bought one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I811PG6/ref=twister_B00R33IBYE?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

The cheapest way to do it would be to get a couple of clip on lights like these: http://www.amazon.com/Boston-Harbor-Flexible-Table-Black/dp/B003NZSLHS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=undefined&sr=8-2&keywords=clip+on+lamp. And then get some 6500k daylight bulbs. Not sure what a proper wattage would be for that that tank, but maybe somebody on here will.

Here for the same thing. OP your build is sexy, but what is that thing? I want it. Maybe these?

https://www.amazon.ca/AUKEY-Sensor-Bedside-Dimmable-Changing/dp/B01AXXXV36/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1518128361&sr=8-2&keywords=anker+lamp

Anker lamp. Has rgb lighting.

Looks like a hue wellner with a color bulb in it

So I have a two bedroom apartment and I've got a mix of the bulbs, the Hue Gos and the light strips.

I don't use any non-Hue lighting so all of my light is controllable via app and timers. It allows you to create presets, so I have a number of lighting schemes that I really like that get progressively dimmer over the course of an evening and move from brighter colors like greens and oranges and yellows to soft blues and reds and purples as it gets later. It kind of becomes a Pavlovian cue that sleep time is coming. You can also set them on timed transitions - so it may take 30 minutes to slowly transition between the settings. So the light can be always moving slowly into differing colors and brightnesses schemes over the course of the evening.

In the mornings, rather than use an alarm clock, I wake to a gradually rising indoor sunrise where warm orange lights come up over the course of 30 minutes. Such a pleasant way to wake up. Gradual and natural instead of sudden and abrupt.

It's also super cool with voice control via Alexa, Siri, Google Home, etc. I just say things like 'Alexa, chill mode' and the lighting hits a smooth preset I have.

The stuff is expensive, but you can add pieces over time to the network. They are energy efficient and so far have lasted really well. I've not had any fail in 3 or 4 years of using them. I started off just wanting a lightstrip and ended up going whole house.

Life changing.

Consider replacing light bulbs around your house with full spectrum bulbs. Consider getting a little portable light that you can take with you to work and place near where you chart.

Not the same as OP's but this one has a dimmer function and isnt too expensive... I used it for a couple years and it worked very well till it died... obviously not an amazing build quality unfortunately but it beats spending $200. most of the reviews are positive too so maybe mine was defective.

I think the lamp is being used as intended:

I bought these (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012TH34DQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_gDs2AbKHJ258J)

and used these lights. (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NARHYK4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_eFs2AbSXSS6WP)


Super bright and incredibly cheap. The app for the lights work great. I also have just a cheap wifi alexa compatible power strip where all my lights are plugged into. Makes it very nice to control all the light strips and lamps through voice.

For USA, watch the price some were listed for $90

Usually something from a garage sale. I like these guys
Clip Light , or this Ikea one but the ikea one only takes small bulbs.

It's a little bit ugly but to make the upmost of your light, you can surround all or part of your plant space with a mylar (space blanket). If you cut sheets, you can glue them to poster board and make panels for around your grouping of plants. They're super reflective so any light that is not absorbed by the plants, or 'spills over' can get redirected back. I've seen it used underneath plants, or if you have a shelf, you could position the light from one side, and cover the opposite side to get the light shining from both angles :)

kit

It actually inspired me to buy another one of their products and I love it too, I have their LivingColors lamp and it's fantastic. It sits behind my main display (I have a pretty crazy setup since I work from home, one 30'' with a 21'' wide screen on either side, rotated to portrait) and it works basically like those flat panel TVs that have the colored back lights. I want to get more of them once I can figure out plausible justifications (i.e. something cool to do with them).

I got them on amazon. Minimalist Solid Wood Table Lamp Bedside Desk Lamp https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012TH34DQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_.6UACb1NT306J

love these lamps

I got it from my sister as a Christmas present, but here it is on Amazon. It actually changes colors to become Pinky, Clyde, etc! My whole setup is actually RGB themed. Everything is on constant color cycles :-)... Never enough RGB.

If you want lights to help out your figure displays, you can try Ikea's white Dioder LED strips. They're cheap and fairly versatile, but kind of a pain to hook up (lots of wires to manage).

For photography, if you don't have a ton of space, you can try getting a clamp-on light like this that can take a standard light bulb. If you're using your phone camera, it's best to throw a lot of light onto the figure or else you'll get a grainy potato quality picture. You can bounce these off something reflective (you can use white poster board or a piece of cardboard covered in foil) to soften the light a bit.

Shooting with sunlight by a window as /u/Chiriesz suggested is also an option.

One more thing, if you intend to use multiple lamps, try to put the same kind of light bulb in all of them (like get a 6-pack or something). Not all bulbs emit the same color light, so use the same type to light your figure in order to avoid unexpected color casts.

I would suggest one of these clip on lights I use them for an art table that tilts and other random things (sometimes like a flashlight). You can adjust the lighting angle to how you want and it's got a pretty good color and strength. You can use them for pretty much anything, I actually use mine to illuminate my wardrobe right now.

Unfortunately the neon lights I got from Target during the Halloween season. Wish I could find it for you.

then all it takes is some creative drilling to be able to run a cable through, and then a light kit, such as this: http://www.amazon.com/Westinghouse-Lighting-70269-Make-A-Lamp-Kit/dp/B00002NADS

An electrician? You think you need an electrician to make a lamp? 6-year-olds in sweatshops in china put lamps together all the time! You can buy lamp kits in about any hardware store! (Stuff like this: https://www.amazon.com/Angelo-Brothers-Make-Lamp-Kit/dp/B00002NADS). Making a lamp is high-school shop levels of complicated and dangerous.

WTF its not like the OP is trying to make a deck.

I don't have many gaming related posters up in my gaming/geek room but I do have this.

I also have a couple of gaming related lights 1 and 2.

I then have a few metal signs I have acquired over the years such as this.

The rest of my stuff is made up from my Loot Crate items and various other memorabilia that I have picked up (and some Marvel wall canvases).

Apologies that these are all UK links if you are not based in the UK.

If you google "lightbulb base for desktop" there are a lot of designs available. Sorry I don't have specifics on his ):

Edit: Closest thing I could find after a few minutes

It is the Aukey RGB light, it is actually really cool but a bit annoying to cycle through all the colours to get what you want. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01AXXXV36/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_EdjUCb1DW50W2

One thing I need to mention with out trying to insult you, but lamps are very easy to work with. You can use anything your creative minds wants you to make as a lamp. You can use a beer bottle, a shoe, a cremated cat, anything you want...the main thing is just find a way to thread the cable and find a way to hold the bulb socket.

the technical side of things is very elementary.

...And the US link

I read some bad reviews on that though, yet I saw this through related items.... kinda interested now

Desk was designed and built by me and a buddy using pine wood from Home Depot. Decided to try something different by cutting out a "trench" on both sides of the top of table and laying RGB strips in and sealing them in with a frosted acrylic sheet. The acrylic was a bitch to cut out so they aint perfect but I'm very happy with the result.

As others have suggested, light is the primary way to wake them up, but I feel technique matters here. Our bodies are designed to wake up in response to light, we have special receptors in our eyes that are tuned to the blue light spectrum present in natural light. However, if you flash on the lights you are simply asking for them to flip over or cover their face, what you need is a sunrise simulator. This will gradually wake them up over the course of 30-90 minutes and will be much more successful. Here is one that I use that works with most lamps (you will need an incandescent bulb).

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AXL8Q02/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Along this same vein, if you want them to go to bed earlier, try turning down the lights the same time every night to promote sleepiness. Devices such as iPads, TV's, phone, etc emit blue light like it's their job. Make a rule like "no screens after diner".

For more tips, research sleep hygiene. Our internal body clock (the Circadian Rhythm) is controlled by many ques, primarily light, but also routines, exercise, food and disrupted by many of modern world norms. A sudden wake up is neither healthy nor successful for people that are not biologically early birds. Good luck!

Absolutely love these lamps because they're simple but also look nice if you want a minimalistic setup. I also bought blue spiral bulbs so it illuminates most of the room blue, while the blue LEDs behind and under the desk help with a more focused lighting. You can buy bulbs in any color from Amazon as well.

It's these lamps: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B012TH34DQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They're blue because I have multi-colour Phillips Hue bulbs inside them

Lamp is pretty neat, all you do is tap the base and it turns on and has I think 4 different levels of brightness.

This may look familiar, I posted my setup briefly a couple weeks ago but deleted it. I’ve since made some changes and took better photos. Now I’m ready to share!

I switch between the PC & Mac with a USB switch that’s connected to a hub with my keyboard/mouse/mic/webcam/etc, and then change the input source on the monitor. The TV above me isn’t normally on, I really only use it when on the couch behind me.

I use the MacBook 90% of the time, but when it’s time to do video editing or rendering I fire up the big boy:

Sounds like you're looking for a platform bed. Article has some great options on the midrange to pricier side, and Wayfair has some great cheaper alternatives like this and this. Fortunately mid-century modern nightstands are aplenty these days. I got mine from Scandinavian Designs, which might be worth looking into if you have one in your area.

Don't feel pressured to get a set of matching nightstands if you don't need two of them! A nice accent chair on the right side of the bed would look great and bring a pop of color to the room. This would also look great in the corner where your mirror is if you moved your mirror to the adjacent wall.

I would consider putting up some shelving on the wall between your slider and mirror where you can display a few curated trinkets, books, and/or plants. Maybe something like this or this.

For lamps, there are so many cool options! If you want a little gold/bling you could go for something like this, or something neutral like this. I'm also a big fan of Target's table lamp selection that allows you to mix and match the lamp base and shade.

Lastly I'd consider going with some lighter curtains to allow more natural light through, and hang some art or a gallery wall above your bed.

Definitely didn't mean to write this much, but hopefully this at least gives you some ideas as to what you might like.

PS. Please give your dog a pet for me. :)

Get your own 'Gravity Lamp' here, they actually call it a magnetic switch. I don't think I would pay that much for the novelty though.

The lamp they call a 'Gravity Lamp' is actually this..

Probably not. I think this means you're still tired--also what lumen output or wattage is the light that hurts your eye?

If I wake up earlier than I want to, I find the dimmer outdoor natural light much more pleasing than bright incandescent light.

So if you're using even a 60 watt bulb then it just may be that it's not a natural amount of light at that time.

I recommend $10 Lutron lamp dimmer that plugs unto the wall or a $40 300 watt capable device that brightens your lamp lights in the morning instead of instant brightness.

Since I plan to run a low light planted tank, do i need to buy a fluval type light? or could I just run two clip on light like this with some stronger bulbs?

Good luck!!

I need a lamp for my dorm room, so I don't have to use that harsh overhead light all the time!

You should consider investing in 2 lamps for both sides of the monitor each with smart lighting

Low cost then if say get a clip on lamp then buy a 9w(or so) cfl 6500k bulb

i realize i got a bit carried away.. but it was an almost 2 hours well spent. i hope you have a great day!

I don't think so, the watts per gallon rule doesn't really work that well, especially under 10 gallons. I would just get a cheap clamp on gooseneck lamp and a small (7watt) compact fluorescent bulb. This would also allow you to raise and lower the lamp to get more or less light.

Something like this http://www.amazon.com/Boston-Harbor-Flexible-Table-Black/dp/B003NZSLHS/ref=sr_1_1?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1381065478&sr=1-1&keywords=clamp+light

I have used something like this here on smaller tanks before.

I'm using this westinghouse lamp kit from amazon. I am very new to diy and would love some guidance.

The lamp on my bed is just a clip-on one my parents bought, but the one on my nightstand is a Minimalist Solid Wood Table Lamp Bedside Desk Lamp. I don't particularly like how the switch is on the cord, so it's a bit difficult to reach.

Haha, it was a joint decision. They are these lamps if you were curious.

You must get a ton of email ;-). For me, it’s almost reassuring. Sometimes it is important, and I should check.

I use one of these globes as my Hue light;

>like say the rich person lives somewhere where it is the middle of winter

It can be the middle of winter anywhere.

But we all compensate our living situations to account for weather in some ways. We warm our houses more in the winter, but we also might have some basic lighting that replicates the color of sunlight.
