10 best desk lamps
Back to school, uni and work means studying and evening laptop sessions. IndyBest finds handsome pieces to light your workspace
Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
Whether you’ve got mountains of revision, work projects to get through at home or you work on the computer some evenings, a decent desk lamp is vital. Indeed, without task lighting, you run the risk of eye strain, headaches and lack of concentration.
When considering which one is best for you, don’t just consider the size and style. Also think about the amount of light the room already has, so that you can work out if you need fuller coverage of the desk or a more specific glow.

Verdict:
The IKEA Jansjo is a bargain for a tenner, while the John Lewis Erik Table Lamp is our favourite when it comes to style.
