Office desk lamps are often overlooked pieces of equipment. Though lighting is crucial in an office setting, little time is spent talking about office desk lamps. The best part about these lamps is that they are functional, but they can also be decorative. No matter your style, you can probably find an office desk lamp that fits your decor and helps your eyes or mood—whatever you’re going for. Whether you want colorful office desk lamps for your home office or minimalist office desk lamps for your real office, we’ve got you covered. Check out our favorites below.
Light Society Black Retro Desk Lamp
This vintage style lamp features a mid-century modern style for your office desk, living room table, or nightstand. The lamp is made of iron and features an angled arm in an antique brass finish. The lampshade swivels so you can aim the light directly where you need it, and the on/off switch is an easy pull cord. Rest easy no matter where you place this new lamp due to its national safety standard rating and one-year limited warranty.
Overall this lamp has 4.6 out of 5.0 stars with 355 ratings. Most customers like the style (5.0), brightness (4.8), sturdiness (4.7), and more. However, many users don’t like how small the lamp is, and others complained about the type of bulb required. As with all online shopping, be sure to check the measurements and specifications of what you’re ordering, so you’re sure it will meet your expectations and needs.
FORSÅ Work Lamp
The Forsa Work Lamp from Ikea uses an LED bulb (included) and has a cool, retro, nickel-plated finish. The classic style will brighten your workspace in more ways than one. The arm and shade are adjustable, making this lamp perfect for a desk, bedside table, or end table.
The Forsa Lamp gets 4.1 out of 5.0 stars, with the main thing bringing the score down is the light bulb that is supposed to be included. Most customers love the lamp—ease of assembly gets a 4.9 (which is a remarkably high rating for Ikea, which is notorious for complicated assembly), value for the money gets a 4.6, appearance scores a 4.8, and all of the other categories score in the high fours. The low scores come when customers receive the lamp believing it has a bulb included and doesn’t. Do yourself a favor and pick up an extra bulb just in case, and you’ll be happy with your new lamp.
