Contemporary Desk Lamp

For those of us who work at a desk for hours every day, our office can be a second home (or maybe a first home). For many people, that means needing to have a comfortable, well lit, and pleasant place to work.

For my office environment, I like to be able to read my papers and work clearly in the light of a desk lamp, because a desk lamp provides closer lighting that does not reflect off of my computer screen and my glasses the way overhead flourescent lighting does. My tastes run more towards a contemporary desk lamp because I like simple lines and colors, and they are easier to dust (one of my least favorite activities).

Desk lighting is task lighting: for work, reading, school or just to be cool. A desk lighting can easily be the most useful tool on your desk. We're not talking utilitarian at Adesso - we're talkin' the centerpiece of desk stylin'.

Adesso contemporary desk lamps are very stylish, yet simple and sleek.  Their style is elegant and affordable with styles starting at about $30.00.  My favorite are the gooseneck styles.

If you want to get a real good bargain price on a contemporary desk lamp, eBay is a good place to search. Depending on what you want to spend on a lamp, you may find a used or new contemporary desk lamp in your style.

The contemporary desk lamps to the right are only a very small sample of what eBay has to offer.

One very popular contemporary desk lamp style is the bankers desk lamp.  The bankers desk lamp looks really good and expensive on a desk, yet also provides a good source of light because of the wide lamp.  Bankers desk lamps come in several colors, although the traditional bankers style is green.  Styles start at about $30.00 and go up from there depending on the materials.

Halogen lamps are great for desk lamps, because they emit a lot of light from a very small bulb.  That way the contemporary halogen desk lamps do not take up a lot of room on your desk.  Yet even being so small, many contemporary halogen desk lamps have a lot of style.

The only disadvantage to halogen desk lamps is that they can get very hot.  So if you decide to buy a halogen desk lamp make sure to place the lamp in a spot on your desk that you will not accidentally hit with your hand while working.
