"..This 3-in-1 lamp can be a desk top, clamp on or even a floor lamp! You cannot go wrong with it. My mother is very picky and even she loves it!!! We clamped it on to the back of the desk and voila! We have light!!!..."

The lamp produces three times the amount of light as a single-bulb lamp, and the arms may be adjusted to distribute the light over a larger area. It also has a slim base that allows it to fit into tight spaces. The lamp is supported by the base, which is made of concrete and brushed steel. This light is unquestionably attractive and emits a large amount of light, making it excellent for lighting a reading room.

"..All that being said, I LOVE this lamp! It is absolutely perfect. My sofa sits low (2.5 inches from the ground) and this lamp base fits right underneath and in the corner. I was able to move the three arms to where I wanted them. It's great that I can..."

This basic reading lamp from Ebest is perfect if you’re searching for a modern lamp that will simply blend in. It has three different height settings that allow it to be used as a floor or table light, a 360-degree swivel neck that allows you to illuminate your pages at all times, two brightness levels, and the ability to modify the color temperature between warm and cold that is ideal for reading. It connects to a USB port, so you can plug it into your laptop or into a conventional wall outlet with a USB wall plug. It’s also quite light, weighing only about 2.5 pounds, making it simple to move around the house as needed.

"..Overall, I like this cute little floor lamp. The words “floor lamp” often refer to something designed to light up a room, but this is not for that purpose. It’s a floor lamp because it stands on the floor, but it's designed to provide customizable bright light onto a desktop workspace. .."

This ultra-modern floor lamp is essentially a work of contemporary art, with a split ring-shaped design. Each side of the ring can be adjusted independently, allowing you to change the way the light falls on your book as well as the lamp’s aesthetic. You can turn the light on and off or control the brightness using a built-in switch on the pole (it goes up to 1489 lumens and has three brightness settings). Brightech says that the LED lights will last for 20 years with regular use, so you won’t have to worry about replacing the bulbs. Choose from black or silver.

"These lamps are the best! Easy to put together, minutes actually, easy to use, just brush the switch for dim, medium or high and they look amazing! Great buy! So happy with this purchase!"

The flexible neck of this remote-controlled floor lamp can be rotated 360 degrees to direct the light in any direction. While it’s a little more expensive than the light above, it comes with a remote control so you can adjust the brightness without having to leave your preferred reading position. The lamp can also be turned on and off by tapping it, and it has five different brightness settings. It even comes with a 12-month warranty and a money-back guarantee, so you can check it out without risk.

"..I love that this one has different settings, one each for computer, reading, having a cup of evening tea, computer gaming,or even feeding a baby.. The buttons on the remote have a "picture" of each. Then, to change the settings, or to just turn it off, ..."

With built-in high brightness and high contrast LEDs that exhibit fine color contrast for close work, the simple style LED standing lamp has a service life of 20,000+ hours. This LED lamp produces 850-950 lumens and uses only 12 watts of power, saving you up to 80% on your electricity bill when compared to standard incandescent lamps. The flexible and robust neck, unlike standard floor lights, allows you to effortlessly spin and bend into various angles, twist the standing lamp, and set it correctly on your object.

".. The LED fixture gives great light for reading (or for hobby or close up project work), bright and crisp. It is particularly helpful to those of us who wear glasses, or who have had some vision loss. It is so helpful to me that it actually enhanced my reading experience. I feel it is much better and more enjoyable than reading in fluorescent or incandescent light..."

You couldn’t do much worse than the Globe Electric Delilah lamp for under $40. The lamp, which comes in silver, black, or white, includes a main light that illuminates the room as well as a reading light that branches off from the pole on an adjustable gooseneck. The primary torchiere component has three brightness levels, so you may brighten the entire area if you need more light than the reading lamp can provide. The entire artwork reaches 72 inches tall and is of complete value.

"Even the lowest brightness level is super bright. Great lamp to get if your ceiling light isn't bright enough for you. Super easy to assemble (just screw sectiona of the lamp together). ..."

This gooseneck floor lamp will look great everywhere, whether you get it in brass with black accents or black with brass and silver details. The flexible neck on the 62.5-inch-tall lamp allows you to slant the head down to 42 inches in height or bend it to illuminate your reading space exactly. The LED bulb’s peak brightness setting is 900 lumens, however, it can be altered between three brightness settings by tapping the lamp’s top. The bulb should endure for 20 years, according to Brightech.

"..But, I liked the look and I wanted it for my reading nook. I will tell you that I’m super surprised at how nice it is....The base is heavy and the lamp is easily adjustable. I love that you just tap the top to change the brightness and turn on/off. Definitely worth it."

Unlike the other lights on this list, this tree-style lamp will provide the most all-over illumination if you want to light up the entire room. Its design allows you to swivel one of the heads to draw your attention to what you’re reading, while the other two aid to brighten up the rest of your space. Unlike the other options on our list, this lamp requires the purchase of light bulbs, but each shade includes an on/off button that allows you to turn on the three task lights individually. Bonus: In addition to this aged brass style, this lamp is also available in a brushed nickel finish if that better suits your decor.

"It is a truly nice floor lamp. Easy to put together. I though I purchased bulbs to go with it, guess I ordered it without. so I purchased 3 yesterday. It sits next between my recliner and piano so if I need to read or play the piano there's light now...."

The qualities of this brass floor lamp make it ideal for readers. The 1150-lumen bulb, for starters, produces a bright light that can illuminate whatever you’re reading even in the darkest of spaces. Second, the pharmacy-style cover on top of it helps guide light downward, giving you concentrated light while reading. The arm can easily be swung to the optimum angle for where you’re seated, and the brightness can be adjusted to one of three settings by just touching the switch on the side.

"I was searching for a LED reading lamp for my bedroom, when I stumbled upon this item. I was impressed with all of the five star reviews, so I placed my order. I absolutely love it!..."
