Gooseneck lamps are flexible to give you multiple ways to shine light in the darkest corners of your room. But most are designed to stand on your desk and give you more light as you work, study or read. There are gooseneck lamps designed to sit on the floor and others that clip on your desk instead of sitting on top. Here are some of the best gooseneck lamps.
Simple Designs Flexible Hose Neck Lamp
The best lamp for your shelf or desk
This basic designed gooseneck lamp sits nicely on a side table, nightstand, or desk. It’s turned on with a flip switch instead of a rotary switch and has a wide hood to help direct light where you need it. It stands 13 inches high including its metal base. The flexible hose-like neck can be twisted and moved to position this lamp in any way or angle you need. It comes in four different colors to match the decor of your room.
iVict Clip on Reading Light
Clip it to any edge
This unique designed gooseneck lamp has a clip at the end instead of a traditional base that clamps on the side of a desk. But it is also large enough to support the weight of the lamp and work as a base to set the iVict reading light on a desk or side table. The lamp itself is a cool circular shape with 24 mini LED lights that have three different brightness settings. This helps keep the glare down as you use the light and reduce eye strain. The light will remember your settings and revert to these when you turn on the lamp again.
LEPOWER Metal Floor Lamp
Light a bigger space
This gooseneck lamp is designed to sit on your floor and brighten an entire room rather than shine on a small space on your desk. The base features a wobble-free design to keep it upright as kids and pets whisk. The upper part of the neck is adjustable and allows the head of the lamp to rotate a full 360 degrees. It comes in three different finishes to match the decor of your room. A lightbulb isn’t included, but this lamp will support LED bulbs up to 40 watts. Anything brighter than that may cause the lamp to overheat.
Ominilight Dimmable Gooseneck Desk Lamp
Simply touch to light it up
This desk lamp dims at your touch making it much easier to use compared to those lamps with buttons and switches. It has three different brightness levels and a sleek design that looks modern and clean with six different color finishes to choose from. The lamp head can rotate all the way around while the flexible gooseneck lets you position it closer or farther from your desk. The circular base evenly distributes the weight of the lamp to make it more sturdy while being used.
Black and Decker Office Gooseneck Task Light
A smaller light source
This small gooseneck lamp has a smaller lamp head so you can focus light on smaller tasks or use it as a spotlight on a shelf to illuminate fun displays or offer a little extra light. There are three different brightness levels and the flexible neck lets you rotate the lamp head back and forth and side to side in almost a full 360-degree angle. This lamp uses LED bulbs to cut energy use up to 85 percent and weighs less than four pounds.
TaoTronics LED Gooseneck Lamp
35 different light combinations
This lamp has a single panel LED light that reduces energy use by 75 percent when compared to traditional gooseneck lamps. It has five different light modes and seven brightness levels. This means there are 35 different lighting combos. The light stands under a foot tall, but the flexible neck lets you position the lamp head in order to illuminate the corners of your room or the study materials on your deck. The base of the TaoTronics lamp includes a USB port to charge your electronics.
TW Lighting IVY LED
A dual purpose desk lamp
This gooseneck lamp from TW lighting includes a USB port in its base where you can charge your cell phone. The LED light has three settings that are changed by touching the three-way switch. The rectangle lamp head shines brightly over your work area. The gooseneck part of this lamp is smooth rather than crimped, but it still adjusts and twists into the position you need. There are several knuckle-type joints in the neck that let you position this lamp in ways traditional gooseneck lamps can’t. The lamp head can be turned and positioned independently from the rest of the lamp.
