The clamp lamp: a light source par excellence!
Ideal as a desk lamp or bedside lamp when you are warm in bed, the clamp lamp is a great reading or working accessory. Often available in metal or plastic, it has a very modern character due to its utilitarian function and often minimalist look!
Unlike a table lamp, the clamp lamp is not bulky. It can be attached absolutely anywhere you want: on a headboard rail, in the corner of a work table, or on the side of a shelf near an armchair... Its white light and soft brightness will brighten up the room, but above all project the lighting on a very precise spot, more or less large depending on the size of the lampshade.

What type of clamp lamp to choose?
Most of the clamp lamps we offer are equipped with an articulated arm to be 100% functional. You can thus direct the light as you please, regardless of the activity you are doing.
A little practical tip: to prevent your hand from casting an annoying shadow on your reading or work, right-handed people are better off fixing their clamp lamp on the left side, and left-handed people on the right side.
Our range of clamp lamps also has a cylindrical or conical lampshade allowing it to offer focused and bright lighting. You will then have to choose the type of LED bulb you prefer! A number of watts more or less powerful depending on the room and the use you want to make of it — in any case, the brightest point must always be the object you are illuminating, never the luminaire itself, to avoid any unnecessary glare.
Our models equipped with a clamp also have a rubber coating, allowing excellent grip on any support you wish to attach them to.
For reference, the maximum recommended power varies depending on the type of socket: generally count up to 40W for an E27 socket, and 8W for an E14 socket — always check on the technical sheet of your model before purchase

What material for a clamp lamp?
Very often, these are functional lamps whose sole and only purpose is to illuminate with a very practical side. The design will be less sought after on this type of indoor lighting: it will mainly be sleek and minimalist, with a modern spirit.
Metal remains the majority among small clamp lamps. It offers good resistance to possible falls, even if an involuntary elbow strike can sometimes make the lamp move slightly during use — a fairly common mishap with this type of compact lighting. In addition, metal brings an industrial style that creates an atmosphere conducive to concentration and work.
For slightly tighter budgets, plastic models are also commonplace among our various clamp lights in stock.
A suitable lighting model for children
Children love to draw or read, and this also stimulates their imagination. A small clamp lamp bedside lamp equipped with a clamp allows to offer good lighting.
For them, favor plastic models and with limited light intensity, so that children do not dazzle themselves not knowing how to properly adjust their light. The beam must be controlled, and correspond to a soft light.
You can for example offer them a second one for their workspace, like their little desk — very practical when coming home from school!
A very practical workshop lamp
