A generic bedside table lamp tends to be an upstanding light with a down-lighting shade placed on top. Whilst this reduces dazzle, it doesn’t give you the opportunity to adjust the focus of the illumination or its intensity, which can be a problem if your partner is trying to sleep.

An Anglepoise reading lamp uses constant tension and geometric design to ensure that you can choose exactly where you want the light to land. Some models are fitted with dimmer switches, so that you can set the appropriate levels of illumination in your bedroom. In addition, the principle of constant tension means that your light will not sag at particular angles. An Anglepoise reading lamp offers dependability in addition to precision.


Of course, not all people like to read in bed. Anglepoise have created a range of floor standing lamps for those who prefer the comfort of a sofa or their favourite armchair. These are also based on the same principles as the desk lamp, but are larger in size. However, choosing a bigger lamp doesn’t mean sacrificing space. Anglepoise lamps are designed to use the minimum amount of space to maximum efficiency. Because the light can be angled, you can get all the benefits of superior illumination, no matter where you stand the lamp itself.
