Desk lamps and table lamps are similar in that they are placed on a surface to either light a room or a workspace.
Desk lamps can either be bend to light a work surprise with a cone having the light focused down or can be a smaller version of a table lamp.
A table lamp, like English style table lamps, can have a wide variety of lamp options when it comes to bases from a pole, a round one, or even an interestingly shaped base. A lampshade is usually placed on top of the lamp in either a cone or rounded shape. Recently, there have been ‘naked lamps’ where there is no lampshade attached to the base.
