A table lamp is a type of lighting fixture designed to be placed on a table or desk. It consists of a base, which is often made of metal, wood, or ceramic, and a lampshade, which can be made from a variety of materials such as fabric, glass, or metal. Table lamps are available in various styles, sizes, and shapes, and can be used to provide task lighting, ambient lighting, or decorative lighting in a room. They can be controlled by a switch on the lamp or by a wall switch, and can use a variety of bulb types, including incandescent, LED, or fluorescent. Table lamps are a popular choice for living rooms, bedrooms, home offices, and other areas where task lighting is needed or where a decorative lighting accent is desired. They can also be used to add a pop of color or texture to a room’s decor.
