Find the perfect table lamp at Beacon Lighting

You can find one of the largest selections of table lamps in Australia at our Beacon Lighting stores or online featuring the latest technology and trends; unique shades and bases; and fresh colours, finishes, materials and textures.


Whether your interiors are classic, modern, natural or luxe, you’ll find a lamp that fits in just perfectly. Choose from table lamps that allow you to swap shades, dimmable lamps, LED table lamps with wireless charging bases, lamps that light up both their base and shade, and ones that turn on with a touch or a wave of your hand.

What should you consider when choosing a table lamp?

There are three factors that we recommend you take into account when choosing a table lamp. These factors are:

  • The purpose of the table lamp: Is it for studying, reading, your bedside or a decorative accent? Answering this will determine whether you need a table lamp with a focused light output, or a lamp that is more ambient.

  • The style of the table lamp: Your table lamp should match the aesthetic of your space and enhance your decor. 

  • The size and type of light bulb you intend to use: Once you have chosen your table lamp, you will need to pair it with a globe that has an appropriate wattage and also colour temperature depending on your desired ambience. 

Where can a table lamp be placed?

Table lamps are versatile and can be placed just about anywhere. Most popular locations include entry way console tables, bedside tables, lounge room side tables, desks, and dressing tables.


On console tables, using a pair of matching lamps provides visual balance and design harmony. The same trick works with bedside table lamps. In lounge rooms, side table lamps help set the mood when you’re winding down in the evening or planning a movie night.


Just remember to match your lamps to the size of your table. Large table lamps work well with large tables, but they shouldn’t be so large that they don’t leave space for things like phones, glasses and your book.

Explore the latest styles

Table lamps come in a variety of shades and bases that match every interior style. Choose glass table lamps with either the base or shade made of glass for a contemporary timeless look. Or a crystal table lamp with a crystal base for a classic, luxurious look. Black table lamps are great for adding a dramatic touch or making a space feel cosy.


If you’re looking for convenience, you’ll want battery operated table lamps. They’re portable so you can take them with you from room to room, outdoors when entertaining or even on your camping trip. Battery-operated kids table lamps are perfect for kids’ bedrooms. They are safe, cute, easy to operate and make bedtime fun.

Illuminate your space with our extensive collection of table lamps designed to complement any interior. Table lamps provide both functional lighting and decorative appeal, serving as versatile additions to bedside tables, desks, console tables and living areas. At Beacon Lighting, we offer premium table lamps in various designs, sizes, and finishes to suit your specific lighting requirements and aesthetic preferences.

Types of Table Lamps

Table lamps come in numerous configurations to address different lighting needs. Desk lamps feature adjustable arms and heads for targeted task lighting, making them ideal for work spaces and reading nooks. Accent lamps provide softer, ambient lighting with decorative bases and wider shades that diffuse light evenly. Bedside lamps typically stand between 40-60cm tall with proportional shades to provide appropriate illumination for reading without overwhelming the space.

Table Lamp Styles

Different lamp styles can dramatically alter the atmosphere of your room. Contemporary table lamps feature clean lines, minimal ornamentation, and often incorporate materials like brushed metal, glass, and concrete. Coastal-inspired designs showcase natural elements such as rattan, jute, and ceramic in light, neutral tones. Industrial table lamps incorporate exposed bulbs, metal finishes, and mechanical elements that create visual interest while providing practical illumination. For a touch of elegance, consider a crystal table lamp that adds sparkle and sophistication to your space.

Table Lamps for Different Rooms

Selecting appropriate table lamps for specific rooms enhances both functionality and ambience. Living room table lamps should complement your existing décor while providing adequate light for conversations and activities. Bedroom table lamps require softer light outputs with accessible switches for comfortable use before sleep. Home office lamps need adjustable brightness levels and positioning to reduce eye strain during extended work periods. For children's spaces, kids lamps offer fun designs while maintaining safety and functionality.

How to Choose the Right Table Lamp

The perfect table lamp balances form, function and proportion within your space. Measure your table surface and select a lamp that occupies approximately one-third of the available area for visual balance. Consider the lamp's height in relation to surrounding furniture when seated, the bottom of the lampshade should align with eye level to prevent glare. Evaluate the lamp's purpose: will it provide ambient light, task lighting, or serve as a decorative accent? For added convenience, explore options such as lamps with USB wireless charging capabilities.

Table Lamp Size and Placement

Table lamp sizing directly impacts both visual harmony and lighting effectiveness. A table lamp should be:

  • Proportional to its supporting furniture (generally 1.5 times the height of the table)

  • Positioned with the bottom of the shade at eye level when seated

  • Spaced appropriately from walls and other objects (minimum 15cm clearance)

  • Matched to room scale (larger rooms can accommodate taller, more substantial floor lamps)

Table Lamp Lighting Guide

Light output from table lamps significantly affects room ambience and functionality. Warm white bulbs (2700-3000K) create inviting atmospheres ideal for living areas and bedrooms. LED table lamps offer energy efficiency and longevity while providing excellent light quality. Consider dimmable lamps to adjust brightness levels throughout the day.

The lamp shades material and design also determine light diffusion—opaque shades direct light upward and downward, while translucent shades create a softer, more distributed glow. For outdoor spaces or areas without convenient power outlets, battery operated table lamps provide flexible lighting solutions.
