Reasons to opt for a Swan Neck lamp
Before we get to the heart of the matter, we would like to answer, even if it may seem obvious, why you should invest in a gooseneck lamp. The first big reason is simple: to benefit from lighting suitable for reading, drawing and writing . If this is the reason that interests you the most, your choice should lead you to the desk lamp.
The Swan Neck lamp is also of particular importance for interior decoration . It can in fact contribute to ambient lighting in the lighting composition of a room. If this is the aspect that matters most to you, you will be better off opting for a Swan Neck bedside lamp.
However, these details should not be enough for you to settle on your choice, hence the usefulness of providing you with several others.
The dimensions to favor
If you plan to buy your Swan Neck lamp with the aim of decorating only your bedside table, you can choose it in smaller dimensions or proportional to that of this table.
If, on the other hand, it is a question of finding a lamp for working from home, you will have to take into account the dimensions of your office or your workspace, but not only that. You will also need to consider the height of your computer screen . It will serve as a reference to determine the ideal height for your table lamp.

Adapted brightness, power and color temperatures
You should not settle on the choice of your Swan Neck lamp without taking into account three other important parameters. The first two are brightness and power. A few decades ago, we complained that we could not enjoy the same brightness as a 75 W halogen bulb with a 30 W one.
The advent of LED technology has changed the situation, allowing a glucose reading lamp to deliver the necessary brightness. To meet your changing needs in this area, however, it will be more judicious to opt for an LED gooseneck lamp with variable intensity or one delivering at least 400 lumens.
The last of these parameters is color temperature. If you opt for a piano, table or touch night lamp with warm color temperatures, you will be more relaxed .
On the other hand, its competitor with cooler color temperatures contributes greatly to stimulating brain activity and increasing productivity. Find the right compromise based on your needs.
