What Is a Table Lamp?
A table lamp is a portable lighting fixture designed to sit on tables, nightstands, desks, or console surfaces, typically consisting of a base, a central body or stem, and a shade that diffuses light. Table lamps serve both functional and decorative purposes, providing task or ambient lighting while contributing to a room's aesthetic through their design, material, and finish.
