Ever since Caitlin Moran’s ode to lamps in her recent column, we’ve been chanting in unison about the glory of table lamps.

Putting on a handful of well-positioned lamps trumps putting on The Big Light, which is only needed in an emergency (such as losing your purse or having to clean a spilled glass of wine from the carpet). In winter, with darker nights and mandatory hibernation, the need for lamps is heightened – far from simply decorative, they serve an important role in our wellbeing. 

Whether you’re a recent convert and need to seriously up your lamp game, or know the truth – that one can never have too many lamps – here are 10 of the best table lamps on the market.
