What Is a Table Lamp?
A table lamp is a portable lighting fixture designed to sit on a nightstand, console table, or end table. It typically consists of a base, stem, and shade that directs light downward or diffuses it for ambient illumination. Table lamps serve both functional and decorative purposes, providing task lighting for reading or accent lighting to enhance a room's atmosphere.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What size table lamp for a nightstand?
- For most nightstands, a lamp between 20 and 24 inches tall works well; the Chaiaki at 21 inches fits this range perfectly.
- How tall should a table lamp be on an end table?
- The bottom of the shade should generally align with eye level when seated, typically 24 to 27 inches from the floor for standard end tables.
- What wattage bulb for a table lamp?
