Why We Love Touch Table Lamps
Forget fumbling with switches and knobs in the dark. Touch table lamps start shining with the slightest contact from a finger, providing a beautiful glow without any hassle. With no need to fuss about knobs and switches, this streamlined fixture is perfect for everyone from children to the elderly. Desk lamps have been lighting up rooms for decades, and touch desk lamps are an exquisite combination of contemporary technology applied to an old-school fixture. These sleek modern fixtures are available styles ranging from innovative avant-garde silhouettes to classic shapes and familiar designs. Easy-to-use, functional, and stylish, touch-activated lamps do it all and can find a place in any home.
Where Modern Touch Lamps Work Best
Wireless lighting always has the benefits of creating clutter-free space, devoid of wires and plugs. Combine that with touch to turn on technology and you have your dream desk lamp. And, thanks to their wireless bodies and easy to activate lights, you can really place these lamps anywhere. Of course, a touch table lamp will work well on a desk or accent table as their name implies, but you can also be more creative with your placements. Use your modern touch lamp on a high bookshelf to provide accent lighting. As long as you can reach the base of the lamp, you’ll easily be able to turn it on and off, and thanks to options with cordless features, they won’t crowd your shelf with unsightly wires. Touch bedside lamps are perfect for nightstands. No more fumbling around in the dark to find a switch. You can quickly and quietly flick these lights on with the minimal effort.
Favorite Touch Activated Lamp Functions
Our favorite part of touch table lamps is their ease of use, and whether that be due to the hassle-free on and off options, easy dimming, or 360 degrees shine options, they make life easier. All of these lamps are equipped with contemporary technology that allows you to turn the light on with the tap of a finger, but some offer even more. Certain options allow you to brighten or dim the light simply by dragging a finger along with the fixture. You have all the benefits of total light control without the extra switches and slides. And, if you’re looking for a room-filling shine, several of the LED touch lamps offer an all-encompassing light source with a 360-degree glow. These are especially perfect on accent tables situated in the middle of the room.
How to Choose the Best Touch Desk Lamp
The best touch table lamp all depends on how you intend to use it. If you’re searching for a simplistic desk lamp that provides bright light, LED options will work best for you. And, their cool shine is perfect for creating a bright environment to get work done. For a touch nightstand lamp, look for an option with a shade to diffuse the light. It will be perfect for bedtime reading but not so bright that it prevents you from falling asleep.
Other Considerations
Touch table lamps are perfect for small spaces, desks, nightstands, and dark shelves but sometimes you need a little more. Touch floor lamps possess a height advantage that desk lamps just can’t compete with. So if you have a larger space, require more light, or just need to add some vertical definition to your home decor, touch floor lamps are the way to go.
