Desk lamps

Desk lamps are important and contribute to the overall light in your room. You should try and have three sources of light:

1. Natural light: Coming from a window, preferably with a blind so you can filter the light. 
2. Ceiling light: This will light your whole room.
3. Desk lamp: This is a task light and helps you focus light on your desk. 

I talk about lighting more in my earlier post 'Natural Lighting'.

The current fad are these industrial looking desk lamps. They are perfect for design workspaces because their height and focus can be adjusted easily. I found a great range at IKEA.
