Main types of lamps

There are the following types of lamps:

  • desk lamp;
  • wall sconces;
  • LED strips;
  • built-in lamps, etc.

Table lamps are a popular choice for vanities due to their portability and variety of designs. They are easy to move and can be used for spot lighting. Table lamps can be made in various styles, which allows you to choose a model that perfectly suits your interior. Wall sconces are mounted on the wall on either side of the mirror, which provides even illumination of the face and prevents the formation of shadows. This is a great option for those who want to create an elegant and functional pampering area. Sconces can be both classic and modern, with various decorative elements.

LED strips are a modern solution for dressing table lighting. They can be installed around the perimeter of the mirror, creating soft and uniform lighting. LED strips are characterized by low energy consumption and long service life, and also allow you to adjust the brightness and color temperature of the light. Built-in lights are integrated into the design of the mirror or the table itself. They provide excellent lighting without the need for additional lamps and wires. This is especially convenient for small spaces where it is important to preserve as much free space as possible.

Lighting with adjustable brightness and color temperature allow you to customize lighting for different tasks. For example, warm light is ideal for evening makeup, and cold light is ideal for daytime makeup. Such lamps are often equipped with touch controls, which makes their use even more convenient. For the dressing table, it is important to choose a lamp with sufficient brightness. Not enough light can make applying makeup difficult, and too much light can make it unpleasant for the eyes. The best option would be a lamp with adjustable brightness. The lamp must be in harmony with the overall style of the interior.
