Desk lights can be used to create all of the above effects. The modern desk light is normally fairly compact meaning they can be positioned just about anywhere in the home.

Current styles of lamp have moved on from the old style desk lamps that we can all remember although you can still see that original style in all modern desk lighting. The design of traditional desk lamps meant you could move the head into no end of positions and that has been passed down to the modern day desk lamp.

Gone too is the old toggle switching that came with two choices - on or off. Nowadays, desk lighting can be touch sensitive or sound sensitive. They come with dimmer switches, halogen bulbs, LED lamps, and daylight fluorescent tubes; features that make desk lights incredibly attractive to children and ideal for their rooms.
