Choosing the right size
A table lamp should stand roughly 58cm to 65cm tall including the shade, measured from the surface it sits on to the top of the shade. On a console or side table, the base of the shade should sit at or just below eye level when seated beside it, so the bulb itself is never visible. As a rough rule, shade diameter should be about half the lamp's total height, so a 60cm lamp suits a shade of roughly 28cm to 32cm across.
Placement that works
| Location | What to look for |
|---|---|
| Bedside | A shorter lamp, 45cm to 55cm, so the shade sits below eye level when lying down. Pair two matching lamps either side of the bed for symmetry. |
| Console or entryway table | A taller, more sculptural piece, since it is usually viewed standing and works as a decorative statement rather than reading light. |
| Reading corner | Position the lamp so the bottom of the shade sits level with your shoulder when seated, throwing light onto the page without glare in your eyes. |

What height should a table lamp be?
Roughly 58cm to 65cm including the shade, measured from the surface it stands on. Shade diameter should be about half the lamp's total height.
What size lamp should I use beside my bed?
A shorter lamp, 45cm to 55cm tall, so the shade sits below eye level when lying down. Two matching lamps either side of the bed keep the room symmetrical.
Marble, crystal or fabric shade: which lasts longer in a Nigerian home?
Marble and crystal bases are the most durable and least affected by humidity. Fabric shades can discolour faster in bright, humid rooms, so keep them out of direct sun and near-window heat.
Do table lamps work well on inverter or generator power?
Yes. Every lamp here runs on LED, which draws a fraction of the power of an incandescent bulb, so running a table lamp on inverter or generator power costs very little.
Compare with floor lamps for a taller alternative, check current prices in the Nigeria Lighting Price Index, or browse indoor wall lights for a bedside option that frees the nightstand.
