Three things matter before you buy a bedside lamp: colour temperature, bulb fitting and how far the lamp projects into the room. For reading and relaxing, aim for a warm white around 2700 to 3500 K, an E27 fitting and a table lamp with a shade that puts the light at shoulder height once you are sitting up in bed.

What light does a bedside lamp give: warm white or neutral white?
For a bedside, warm white (2700 to 3500 K) remains the most common choice: it suits reading and unwinding without glare. Neutral white (3500 to 4500 K) works better for a desk, while cool white (4500 to 6500 K) stays reserved for utility rooms. A dimmer lets you adjust the brightness.
Cordless or mains bedside lamps: what to check
Most of the selection plugs into a socket, while wall lights and pendants wire into the mains. A cordless lamp makes sense when no socket is near the bed; in that case, read the product page to see how it recharges and whether the power supply is included. The rest of the catalogue, shown in our lighting universe, follows the same detailed product page logic.
Touch bedside lamps and dimmers: how to adjust brightness
A dimmer features on 27% of the models, with a control method that changes from one reference to the next: rotary knob, multi-position switch or remote control. No touch control is listed in this selection, so do not assume one. Take the time to open the product page before ordering, especially if you want to dim the light without getting up.
Which fitting for a bedside lamp: E27, E14, G9 or GU10?
In this selection, the E27 fitting dominates, followed by G9, integrated LED modules, GU10 and the smaller E14. The fitting determines which bulb you can replace: E27 and E14 screw in, G9 and GU10 push in, and integrated LED models cannot be changed.
E27 and E14: the two screw fittings
E27 is the large screw format: you can fit whichever bulb you like, up to the maximum wattage stated on the product page. E14, which is slimmer, is used for small shaded lamps. These two fittings are the easiest to restock with bulbs.
G9 and GU10: small pin bulbs and integrated LED modules
G9 (20%) and GU10 (10%) push in without screwing, with lower wattages. Integrated LED models (20%) cannot be replaced: the light source is part of the fixture. The wattages stated on the product pages range from 10 W to 40 W depending on the reference, with no automatic link between the size of the fixture and its power.
| Fitting | Socket type | Share of models | Replaceable bulb |
|---|---|---|---|
| E27 | Large screw socket | 43% | Yes |
| G9 | Two slim pins | 20% | Yes |
| Integrated LED | Fixed module | 20% | No |
| GU10 | Two short pins | 10% | Yes |
| E14 | Small screw socket | 7% | Yes |
Which size of bedside lamp for a small bedside table?
It all depends on the width of your nightstand. Compact models go down to around 18 cm, a wall light can get by with just a few centimetres of projection, while a 30 cm table lamp or a large globe pendant needs a wider surface and an uncluttered room.
Compact models and wall lights: when the surface is narrow
A narrow nightstand struggles with a wide base. The orange mushroom-shaped Elin lamp measures 18 cm and needs very little space, while the black Mirsamica wall light with a gold curved diffuser takes only 12.4 cm of depth because it is fixed to the wall. For very small surfaces, recessed ceiling lights remain an option.
30 cm lamps and large globe pendants: the surface has to keep up
A table lamp that reaches 30 cm such as the black Ulysses bedside lamp with a domed shade, or a pendant with a large diffuser such as the Kaelor opal sphere pendant, take up real volume. Check that the shade stays above eye level once you are sitting up, so it does not shine straight into your face.
| Model | Type | Fitting | Stated dimensions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elin | Table lamp | G9 | 18 cm |
| Ulysses | Table lamp | E27 | 30 cm |
| Plicata | Table lamp | E14 | Ø 32 cm, h 56 cm |
| Mirsamica | Wall light | G9 | W 10.2 cm, D 12.4 cm |
| Kaelor | Pendant | E27 | W 45.3 cm, h max 140 cm |
| Cindel | Pendant | G9 | W 50 cm, h max 148 cm |
Designer, original or mushroom bedside lamp: which style to choose?
Modern style dominates the selection, followed by contemporary, minimalist, Nordic and a few original pieces. A designer bedside lamp is recognisable by its shape and material, an original piece by a detail that stands out, such as a mushroom-shaped shade.
Mushroom bedside lamp: why this shape keeps coming back
A domed shade throws light downwards and to the sides, which lights the book without sending the beam into the eyes of whoever is next to you. That is the shape of the Elin model, in metal, with its cylindrical base. Original design pieces often play on this kind of silhouette to stand apart from a classic lamp.
Italian designer bedside lamp: the style codes to recognise
A search for Italian design reflects a taste for clean lines, slim metal and strong contrasts between black, white and gold. No Italian manufacturing origin is stated on the product pages: judge by shape and finish, and browse the luxury lighting if you are after that more dressed-up register.
Wall bedside lamp or pendant above the nightstand?
A wall light frees up the whole surface of the nightstand and sits at shoulder height once you are sitting up in bed. A pendant above the bedside gives the same effect without taking up surface, provided the cable is adjustable and the ceiling allows for it.
Wall bedside lamps: fixed arm or articulated arm
A fixed arm such as the green wall light with a cylindrical shade gives a warm white light and needs only one fixing point, at 40 cm height. An articulated arm such as the Velvesara articulated wall light reaches 90 cm and lets you aim the diffuser at the book or at the wall.
Hanging a pendant above the bedside: adjustable cable and ceiling height
The bedside pendants in this selection have an adjustable cable: maximum height of 140 cm for Kaelor, 148 cm for Cindel. Shorten it to suit your ceiling height, so the bottom of the diffuser sits above the bed without getting in the way. Find other formats in pendant lighting, including black pendants for the bedroom.
Can a bedside light be installed in a toilet or bathroom?
Rarely: IP20 is reserved for dry rooms. Only models rated IP44 withstand the humidity of a shower room or toilet, such as the IP44 model with two opal globes. Check the rating on the product page before installing, and look at toilet lighting as well as designer bathroom lighting if the room is damp.
Where to buy bedside lighting, in a Lyon shop or online?
Searches for a lighting shop or lighting shops in Lyon, such as clearance lighting Lyon, are aimed at physical stores. The collection shown here is sold online by Designix, with secure payment, tracked delivery, returns and customer service. So compare fitting, dimensions and protection rating before you check out, because those three details settle the choice faster than a trip across town. Other moods await you in designer living room lighting or a modern selection for the living room.
How do you install and care for a bedside light?
A table lamp plugs in, a wall light is fixed to the wall and a pendant hangs from the ceiling: in all three cases, cut the power before you start and stick to the fitting stated on the product page. For care, a soft cloth is enough on metal and glass, and needs a gentler touch on velvet and linen.
Plugging in a table lamp and changing the bulb
Unplug the lamp before replacing the bulb and respect the maximum wattage of the socket. Choose a bulb with the same fitting: E27, E14, G9 or GU10 depending on the product page. If the fixture has integrated LED, there is no bulb to change and only the control remains accessible.
Care by material: metal, glass, fabric, velvet, bamboo, linen
Metal, aluminium and glass clean with a soft cloth, without abrasive products. Fabric and velvet are dusted with a soft brush, without getting them wet, as with fabric lighting. Bamboo needs only a dry cloth; for the darker versions, see black wood lighting and similar finishes.
What warranty and budget should you plan for a bedside light?
The warranty is two years on 63% of the selection and five years on 37%. On budget, the simplest table lamps sit alongside more elaborate wall lights and pendants: the price of each piece is shown directly in the collection grid.
Two-year or five-year warranty: what each model covers
The duration appears on every product page, and it varies from one reference to another within the same collection. A model with a five-year warranty weighs less on the budget over time if you are equipping several bedrooms. Check this point along with the fitting, before comparing two lamps with a similar look.
Entry level or statement piece: where the gap lies
The gap comes down to material and finish: plain metal and opal glass on one side, velvet, linen and gold details on the other. If you are furnishing a guest room, a sober metal wall light is enough. For a main room, look at green lighting or blue lighting before deciding. Secure payment, tracked delivery, returns and Designix customer service apply to the whole selection: compare, then order with confidence, and find LED living room lighting if you are also equipping the lounge.
What is the best bedside lamp?
There is no single answer: it all depends on your nightstand and how you use it. For reading, a table lamp with a shade and an E27 fitting works well; for a small surface, an IP20 wall light frees up the space. Check the height and the fitting before choosing.
Which lights for a toilet?
For a toilet or a shower room, you need a protection rating suited to humidity. Almost all of this selection is IP20, reserved for dry rooms: only IP44 models, such as the white pendant with two opal globes, suit these rooms.
Where can I find a lighting shop in Lyon?
Searches for a lighting shop or lighting shops in Lyon, such as clearance lighting Lyon, are aimed at physical stores. The selection shown here is available online from Designix, with secure payment, tracked delivery, returns and customer service, without depending on a local address.
What makes an original bedside lamp?
It is a lamp that moves away from the usual shapes: cylindrical shade, dome, ball or mushroom shape, an unusual material such as bamboo, linen or velvet. In this selection, a few pieces play that card, alongside the more sober modern and minimalist models.
How do you install a wall bedside lamp?
A wall light is fixed to the wall, at shoulder height once you are sitting up in bed, so that it lights without glaring. Cut the power before you start, position the housing, then check the fitting stated on the product page, E27 or G9 depending on the model, before fitting the bulb.
