Task Lights

After, consider the task lights you'll need for you and your family to read, work, or play. Task lighting is focused light that illuminates a specific activity. Available in a vast number of styles, task lamps offer both direct illumination and great design flexibility because you can often change their style and the effects of their light with different shades or positioning. Place a wall sconces behind the sofa to facilitate reading, or use a swing-arm table lamp on a side or parson's table. Most bedrooms require effective task lighting next to the bed as well as in reading corners, at vanities, and on work surfaces.

Select your style:

• Table lamps with three-way bulbs allow for adjustable levels of light. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and wattages.
• Swing-arm lamps have adjustable arms that allow the light to be swung into position, perfect at the bedside.
• Sconces attach directly to the wall and can offer useful supplementary lighting.
• Floor lamps are freestanding and may be adjustable in height.
• Desk lamps focus a bright, downward beam of light with high level of illumination.
• Closet lights come in options such as hard-wired, low-voltage, or battery-operated.
