Wooden LED table lamps

For a living room, allow for a lamp 30 to 55 cm high, and a 10 to 21 cm cube on a bedside table. The wood filters and warms the light of the bulb, which creates a low pool of light at sofa, bed or worktop height.

Which wooden LED table lamp should you choose for the living room, bedroom or office?

In the living room, a large 55 cm format such as Norsk or a woven bamboo Ø 30 cm such as Bamora sets up an ambient light near the sofa. On a bedside table, a 10 to 21 cm model is enough. In the office, choose a stable format that lights the work area without glare.

Which wooden table lamp for a living room?

At the end of a sofa or on a console, you want a lamp that lights wide and low. The Norsk lamp and its dimmer measures 55 cm high for Ø 30 cm, in metal and wood: its black frame structures a corner, its cylindrical shade softens the light. The E27 socket takes a standard bulb. For a softer feel, the Bamora lamp in woven bamboo (Ø 30 cm, H 30 cm, beige) diffuses through an openwork shade. See also the wooden lamps for the living room.

Which wooden LED table lamp for a bedroom?

On a bedside table, the lamp should stay low so it does not block the way to the switch. Arbor (Ø 12 cm, H 21 cm) fits in a corner, while Selenia is a cube 10 cm square, and Caspio measures Ø 10 cm for H 10 cm, almost invisible on a side table. Compare the formats in the bedside lighting for the bedroom and the designer lamps for the bedroom.

Which wooden table lamp for an office?

In the office, you need a stable base and light directed towards the keyboard, not towards your eyes. The Arbor globe with its G9 socket concentrates its light, the Caspio cube with a filament bulb lights right at worktop level. The adjustable lamps complete the picture if you need to aim at a specific area.

What light does a wooden LED table lamp give?

Wood filters and warms the light. The Bamora model is listed as warm white, between 2700 and 3500 K, the shade that suits the evening and rooms for relaxing. The stated wattages range from 8 W to 40 W depending on the socket and the bulb chosen.

Warm white or neutral white: which light temperature for a wooden lamp?

Around 2700 to 3000 K, the light leans towards amber and suits a living room or bedroom in the evening. Between 3500 and 4000 K, it becomes whiter, useful for reading or working. Above 5000 K, the cool shade clashes with the grain of the wood: avoid it on an ambient lamp.

Should you use an LED bulb or a filament bulb?

Both fit an E27 socket. On an open cube such as Selenia or Caspio, the bulb is visible: a filament or clear glass becomes part of the object and casts rays. An opaque LED, on the other hand, gives a more diffuse and even light. For a closed globe such as Arbor, use the bulb intended for the G9 socket.

E27 or G9 socket: how do you choose the bulb for your wooden lamp?

The E27 socket, found on most models, takes standard screw bulbs, easy to replace and available in LED or filament versions. The G9, smaller, is used for compact globes such as Arbor (Ø 12 cm) and requires a dedicated bulb.

How do you change the bulb in a wooden table lamp?

Unplug the lamp and let the bulb cool: a filament heats up quickly. Then unscrew the E27 bulb without forcing, or remove the G9 from its clip holder after pushing it in slightly. Never pull on the cable. A replacement bulb is chosen from the product page, never by guessing the diameter of the globe.

Which bulb for a wooden globe or cube?

E27 for Bamora, Norsk, Selenia and Caspio; G9 required for Arbor and its Ø 12 cm globe. A wider socket will not fit into a compact globe, and a socket that is too small will not hold in a screw fitting. Check the maximum wattage indicated before fitting a stronger bulb.

How do you match a wooden table lamp with the living room decor?

Light brown wood goes with Scandinavian, minimalist and bohemian styles; the black of the Norsk metal frame leans industrial. One visible wooden lamp is enough as a warm point, the rest of the lighting can stay discreet around it.

Light brown wood or black wood: which mood?

Light brown, the majority in the selection, blends into a white wall and a linen sofa. Black, more graphic, stands out and suits contemporary interiors: see the black wood and the modern lamps for the living room. A raw tray or an oak shelf extends the grain without competing with it.

How many wooden lamps should you put in a room?

One visible as a warm point is enough; the other sources stay discreet, as wall or ceiling lights. Two woods in different shades on the same piece of furniture cancel each other out. If you are looking for an alternative material, look at the ceramic lamps or the white designer finishes.

Can you install a wooden LED table lamp outdoors?

No. All the models in the collection are rated IP20, a protection against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm and against finger contact, with no water resistance. A wooden table lamp therefore stays indoors, away from a sink or an open window.

What does the IP20 rating on these lamps mean?

The first digit, 2, concerns solids: a finger cannot get in, nor can an object larger than 12.5 mm. The second, 0, concerns water: no protection. A terrace, an uncovered balcony or a very damp bathroom are therefore outside the scope of use.

Is a wooden lamp affected by the humidity of a kitchen or bathroom?

On a worktop, away from the sink and splashes, it is still possible. In a bathroom where you take showers, no: steam penetrates the wood and the bulb holder. For the kitchen, prefer a compact model such as Selenia, and see the small lamps for the kitchen.

How do you connect and care for a wooden table lamp?

A table lamp simply plugs into a socket, via a switch or an built-in dimmer when the model has one. For several lamps on the same supply, use a power strip or a connection to the existing circuit, within the stated wattage.

How do you connect several lamps to a single power supply?

A table lamp is not wired into the wall: it plugs in. To bring several together, a power strip is enough, provided you stay under the wattage allowed by the circuit. Avoid stacking extension leads and mixing several power-hungry devices on the same socket. For a fixed installation, call an electrician.

How do you clean a wooden table lamp?

Dry or barely damp cloth on the base, never water on the wood or the bulb holder. Dust the shade dry, without products. Cut the power before handling the bulb. On the Norsk lamp and its dimmer, the brightness setting saves you from having to use the switch several times an evening.

How do you restyle a wooden table lamp?

To restyle a varnished wooden lamp, strip the base with fine sandpaper or stripper, then feed it with oil or repaint it. On a table lamp, always protect the bulb holder and the cable before sanding, and unplug the device.

How do you remove the varnish from a wooden base or piece of furniture?

Two methods: sanding with fine paper, slower but odourless, or chemical stripper, faster, to be applied in a ventilated room. On a lamp base, remove the shade, unplug, then mask the cable and the socket before starting.

What can you change on a table lamp to modernise it?

The bulb first: a visible filament or a diffuse LED changes everything without taking anything apart. The shade next, often simpler to replace than to restore. The wooden base is fed with oil rather than repainted if you want to keep the grain. For another look, compare with the metal lamps for the office or the designer models for the office.

What budget should you allow and what warranty on a wooden LED table lamp?

The budget depends on the format and the woodwork: a small cube or a compact globe stays in the entry range, a larger piece in woven bamboo or metal sits above. The warranty is 2 or 5 years depending on the model, indicated on each product page.

What is the price of an LED lamp?

There is no single price. The price depends on the format, the material (solid wood, woven bamboo, metal) and the work on the shade. A small cube sits in the entry range, a large piece above. The current price appears on each product page of our selection of table lamps.

How do you check the warranty of a wooden table lamp?

The duration is indicated on each model's page: 2 years on part of the selection, 5 years on the other. The precise conditions are confirmed with customer service. The cover applies to the luminaire, not to the bulb you fit yourself.
