When it comes to purchasing a new table lamp for your living room, there are many factors that you need to take into account, which might not necessarily apply if you were purchasing a new office lamp or a new reading lamp.
With that in mind, presented in this article are four key factors that you should explore before making your next living room lamp purchase.
1. aooshine Small Bedside Table Lamp, Square Cream Fabric Shade
The aooshine Small Bedside Table Lamp is a compact accent lamp with a square cream fabric shade over a petite black base. The open-top beige linen shade gives a soft, even glow.
The cord, socket and plug are UL listed, and an on/off switch keeps operation simple. No bulb is included, and the manufacturer asks that LED bulbs be used.
It suits a bedside table, a guest room or a small office shelf, and works as a low accent where a brighter task light would be too much.
What I like
The fabric shade softens the light, which is what a bedside lamp should do. The listing is unusually clear about the electrical parts being UL listed, and the switch leaves no separate control.
What I don’t like
No bulb is included, so you need to source an LED bulb separately. No brightness or wattage details are published, so how much light it gives in a dark room cannot be confirmed.
Pros:
- UL listed cord, socket and plug
- Beige linen open-top shade
- Compact black base
- On/off switch
- Suits bedrooms, guest cottages, offices
Cons:
- Bulb not included
- No brightness or wattage published
