Choosing a desk lamp for a home office

Good task lighting can make a home workspace calmer and easier to use. The best lamp is one you can position precisely without creating glare on your screen.

01

Look for adjustability

An articulated arm or tilting head lets you direct light onto paperwork and away from your monitor.

02

Consider light controls

Several brightness levels are useful when your room changes from bright daylight to evening.

03

Measure the base

A lamp with a large base may be stable but can consume valuable desk space. Clamp lamps suit some smaller desks.
