A table lamp is a portable light that serves multiple roles in an interior lighting design. It delivers a sufficient amount and a good quality of light to the task area, contributes to the general room illumination with light diffused through its shade, and carries an appearance that complements the interior décor. Table lamps are specifically designed for use on side tables, dining tables, bedside tables, consoles, buffets, night stands, coffee tables, sofa-back tables, window-sills and dressers. They are supposed to provide a focused, localized, and higher level of illumination for various tasks to be completed at the desired speed with accuracy, comfort and safety while also offering flexibility to change lighting positions as task positions change. They are also meant to look attractive rather than perform simply as desk lamps. These task lights should be decorative in design. They need to tie in the style with the rest of a room, be a conversation piece or an ornamental element of the interior and add a residential feel and human scale to a space.
