​If you’re looking to buy a desk lamp for practical task lighting and not in search of an accent lamp like the beautiful stained glass Tiffany lamp or Banker’s lamp, then the following shopping guide is perfect for you. 
​Size and Shape
Before you decide on any particular lamp, consider its overall structure. Choose one with a sturdy base that won’t be easily knocked over. If your desk space allows, find a task light with a long-arm fixture that delivers a wide lighting coverage. Traditional desk lamps only illuminate a corner of your desk area so be sure to find a new desk lamp that can offer a wider coverage, preferably illuminating every corner of your desk with even, flicker-free illumination. 
WiT Genie provides wide lighting coverage for smaller desk spaces.
​Mood Lighting Choices
Not all desk lamps are designed with the same colour of light, which is affected by colour temperature, measured in Kelvins. If you have a preference for working under cool white light (5700 K) to enhance productivity and like to relax or leisure read under warm white light (2700 K), then you’ll want an LED desk lamp that allows for manual adjustments across this spectrum (2700 K to 5700 K). 
Switch to warm white light to create a relaxing mood.
Functionality
Other than a lamp’s style and light output, you may want to consider a lamp that is highly flexible. Many modern lamps offer an adjustable arm with a rotating shade that allows precise positioning of the lamp head. Find one that offers durability during adjustments so you can focus on getting the light to where you need it without worrying about lamp parts coming apart. 
​You may always keep your desk lamp on your desk, but sometimes you may want to move it to other areas of the house, such as your bedside or your living room. A floor stand extension comes in handy to transform your desk lamp into a floor lamp. Consider mounting your lamp onto the bedside with a clamp to free up valuable space, giving your lamp additional versatility in small spaces. If these additional uses appeal to you, then be sure to find a lamp that can accommodate a floor stand extension as well as a desk clamp.
