Ergonomics (the maximizing of productivity through functional equipment design) is one of the key attributes of adjustable arm desk lamps. Workplace lighting is too often built with the belief that one style suits all purposes. But with adjustable desk lamps, lighting becomes flexible and interactive, conforming throughout the day to your changing needs.
Types of Adjustable Arm Desk Lamps
The adjustable desk lamps at DeskLamps.com are available in three basic designs: hinged, swing arm, and gooseneck. |

- Hinged
Hinged arm adjustable desk lamps can be moved up and down as your work demands. They're ideal for professions where attention to detail is often required, such as accounting or drafting and design.
- Swing Arm
Swing arm adjustable desk lamps are capable of rotating in a circular motion as much as 360 degrees depending on the model. It's a useful design for modular work areas or professions where group projects are commonplace.
- Gooseneck
Gooseneck adjustable desk lamps offer a flexible, bending design that lets you position the light at whatever angle you need. This focused, multi-angle lighting helps to reduce eye strain and make full use of available desk space.
Adjustable Desk Lamp Features
Along with these useful arm designs, adjustable desk lamps can be purchased with different bulb types. Incandescent lamps offer standard lighting. Halogen bulbs provide a more energy-efficient form of incandescent lighting, while fluorescent adjustable desk lamps combine energy-efficiency with reduced heat emission.
To cater an adjustable arm desk lamp to your particular work needs, we recommend looking for features such as clips, magnifiers, and dimmer switches.
