    Quick Buying Tips: Table Lamps for Reading

    • Look for focused light – Adjustable heads or downward-facing shades help direct light onto your book without lighting the whole room.

    • Choose the right brightness – Lamps compatible with medium to high lumen bulbs provide clear light without harsh glare.

    • Check lamp height – The bottom of the shade should sit just below eye level when seated to avoid shadows and eye strain.

    • Consider shade shape – Narrow or enclosed shades keep light concentrated on the page.

    • Think about placement – Bedside tables, desks, and reading nooks benefit most from compact, stable lamp designs.

    I ordered some outdoor furniture for my new garden and when it arrived I had to change the colour. The customer service team organised this for me promptly and sorted me out with the colour I wanted to change to.
