Clip, Clamp & Shelf Lamps
Why We Love Clamp & Shelf Lamps
Anywhere you have a flat surface--tabletops, work benches, office desks or shelves--you can have light. The small bases of clamp lights hold them securely in place, taking up a minimum of valuable work space in the process. This is also true of the lamp itself, which extends out only when you need it, back when you don't. Clip-on lamps are also ideal examples of contemporary lighting design. They are compact, flexible and utilize the latest task lighting technology (especially long-lived LED clamp lights) blending in seamlessly with modern decor.

In any space where you need an extra touch of portable lighting, a clamp lamp is a go-to choice.

Choosing the Best Clamp & Shelf Lights
Depending on where you plan to place a clamp lamp or shelf light, you'll have a variety of different options available to you. First, you'll need to identify how much light output you want from a clamp lamp. While these fixtures are ideal for reading and office-related tasks, you'll find there are are options that offer a source of general, ambient illumination too. Look to a fixtures lumens chart to try to gauge exactly how bright it will be. Next, refine your choices the the most appropriate size for your space. Here you will find a range of small clip lights to larger designs meant to be used as picture lights. Remember to review a fixture's height, width and length (for lamps with adjustable arms).
