A table lamp is a portable light fixture designed to sit on a table or desk. It typically consists of a base, a light bulb socket, and a lampshade. Table lamps provide focused lighting for tasks such as reading or working, and they come in various styles, sizes, and materials to match different home decor. These lamps can use different types of bulbs, including incandescent, LED, or fluorescent, depending on the desired brightness and energy efficiency. Many table lamps also feature adjustable brightness settings or built-in USB ports for charging devices, making them versatile additions to any room in the home.
