1) Determine the Height of the Crystal Lamp Shade
When choosing a table lamp, it's important to consider the height of the lampshade in relation to your line of sight. Make sure that the bottom of the lampshade is around eye level when you're seated. This positioning will help prevent any glare that might strain your eyes when you're reading or interacting with others on your bed or sofa. Keeping the lampshade at eye level also ensures that you receive direct light for reading, providing sufficient illumination.
2) Choose the Right Size
The size of the lamp is another crucial factor to keep in mind when making your purchase. Select a table lamp size that complements the overall decor and doesn't look out of place. Generally, the height of the lamp should not exceed 1.5 times the height of your table or the surface it sits on. Additionally, ensure that the lampshade does not extend beyond the edge of your tabletop.
3) Select the Appropriate Bulb
Regardless of the crystal table lamp design you choose, it's important to use the correct type of light bulb. Consider the following basics when selecting light bulbs:-
Wattage: Opt for bulbs with lower wattage if you want to minimize energy consumption. Higher wattage bulbs require more energy, which can lead to increased utility bills.
Lumens: Lumens indicate brightness, so a higher number of lumens is suitable for lamps used to light up rooms or areas that require ambient lighting. Dimmer bulbs with fewer lumens are often used for decorative table lamps.
Kelvins: Kelvins refer to colour temperature. Bulbs with higher Kelvin ratings provide cooler and brighter light, making them suitable for task lighting. Bulbs with lower Kelvin ratings produce warmer light.
Colour Rendering Index: The colour rendering index measures the accuracy of colours rendered by bulbs. Higher-index bulbs accurately display the true colours of objects in the surrounding area. LEDs are a good example of bulbs with a broad colour spectrum and high colour rendering index, while fluorescent bulbs have a lower index.
