Which Lamp Is Right for You?

Lamps are very versatile lighting fixtures. They can illuminate an entire room or provide soft lighting in a dim corner. A lamp from Connecticut Lighting Centers is sure to fit in with your existing décor, but how do you decide which type is right for your needs? We have a large selection of table, floor, desk, accent, swing arm and torchiere lamps from top names in the industry. Let’s walk through the purpose and benefits of each kind.

Table and Desk Lamps

Table lamps can provide enough light to illuminate an entire room if you don’t have the space for a floor lamp. When there is limited space for lighting fixtures, a table lamp can function in any way you need.

Similar to a table lamp, a desk lamp lights a small area with as much or little brightness as you need. Contrary to table lamps, desk lamps are more task-oriented and often used to prevent eye strain. Our selection includes antique, functional and modern styles.

Floor and Torchiere Lamps

Our floor lamps typically measure between four and a half feet and six and a half feet tall. Their brightness can be adjusted to give off minimal or maximum light. The traditional floor lamp emits a balance of light upwards and downwards. As a result, it works well as a primary light source.

A torchiere lamp is a type of floor lamp that directs light upward. If you don’t need light emitted throughout an entire room, a torchiere lamp will create glare-free, soft ambient lighting for your entertainment needs.

Accent Lamps

This type of lamp is perfect for a homeowner who wants a decorative source of light. Our selection has colorful, antique designs that come in a variety of unique shapes. Versatile in height, style and placement, you’re sure to make a statement with an accent lamp.

Swing Arm Lamps

There is a wide variety of swing arm lamps, including floor, table and wall. They are the ideal choice for their convenience and space saving. You can adjust the arm as needed, moving it in the direction where you need light the most.
