Reading Lamps

What Makes Reading Lamps Different?

Create a comfortable, well-lit place to read without bathing the rest of the room in light with one of our high-quality reading floor lamps. You'll appreciate our well-stocked selection of reading lamps for every room in your home. Our reading lamps are categorized as "floor lamps," because they are specifically designed to provide a soft glow at the appropriate height and angle for comfortable reading. They're typically equipped with shades and bulbs that provide a gentler output at a targeted angle; this angle is often adjustable for a customized experience and is designed to provide quality illumination without tiring out the eyes. At 1800Lighting, you'll find the ideal reading lamp to suit your reading preferences, budget and home decor style.

Reading Lamps: A Cozy Choice

Our reading lamps make the perfect functional accent piece for your cozy reading nook, living room, home library, office or bedroom. You can opt for one of our classic-style reading lamps with long and wide shades (similar to the shade on a piano lamp) or choose something with a shaped metal or fabric shade for a more dramatic silhouette. We have an expansive variety of modern reading lamps that feature more contemporary styles and finishes, including brushed satin or bronze finishes and clean, streamlined silhouettes. Choose from Holtkotter, Visual Comfort and Co., Robert Abbey and dramatic pieces from Quoizel. Prefer more traditional-style reading lamps? Check out these selections of traditional reading floor lamps from Visual Comfort and Co., Frederick Cooper, Bassett Mirror Company, Dimond Home, Currey and Company and Wildwood. Also quite popular are our transitional styles, with beautiful selections from House of Troy, Sonneman and Kovacs.

Reading Lamp Lightbulbs Choices

Of course, when choosing your reading lamp, you'll want to take note of which type of bulb to use. While incandescent reading lamps are still the most popular (and the most inexpensive), LEDs also make a smart choice for reading. That's because they provide ample brightness while drawing significantly less power. They also last quite a bit longer than incandescent and halogen lighting choices. We highly recommend choosing dimmer-compatible reading lamps so that you can perfectly tailor the brightness level to your preferences.
