A wall mounted task lamp is a controlled-distribution, usually mobile-arm light that provides the appropriate quantity and quality of light to illuminate an area for a specific task. Task lights of this type are created with a conscious blend of form and function to provide both useful light and visual appeal. They need to deliver not only illumination for users to perform various tasks with high comfort and at the desired speed and accuracy, but also decorative suitability that allows them to visually blend with the interior design in residences and hospitality environments. Wall mounted task lamps are typically placed on either side of a couch in a living room, a bed in a bedroom, or a mirror in a bathroom. They are also used to illuminate buffets, dressers, kitchen islands, and other places that are tight on space. These lights can easily define functional zones close to a wall in style without occupying tabletop space or taking away from the square footage of a room.
