LEPOWER Metal Desk Lamp
As classic as it gets, we love this flexible lamp from LEPOWER. It features an old-school shape, with a rounded base and a round, tapered shade connected by a flexible gooseneck.
The lamp comes in a selection of appealing neutral colors, and the flexible neck makes it easy to adjust at different angles to shine light exactly where you need it.

Mlambert Desk Lamp with Charging Port
If you’re looking for a true multipurpose lamp, this one from Mlambert has it all. There are three different color modes and dimming options, and it also has an adjustable head and arms.
In addition to all the flexibility options, this lamp features a built-in USB charging port. The stylish, angular design is both useful and aesthetically pleasing, making this a classic choice that won’t take up too much room on your desk.
Briever USB Table Lamp
The Briever USB table lamp is a little boxier and sturdier than your typical desk lamp, but the trade-off offers some advantages. For a bigger desk or a more solid, formal look, the rectangular head and boxy base make a big statement while still providing plenty of light across your entire workspace.
Plus, this lamp includes multiple built-in charging stations in its base, with handy slots for your devices to keep them nearby while they’re charging.
iHome LED Desk Lamp
Colorful and quirky, but also minimalist and simple, the iHome LED desk lamp uses powerful LED bulbs for bright, reliable lighting that’s longer-lasting and more environmentally friendly.
It has an easy USB cable to connect to a power source, so even if your desk is in an odd spot, you can just use any device with a USB connection, and then let there be light!
Thanks to the four color options, which include beautiful shades of pink and blue, this lamp can fit in with any décor and/or add a pop of color without taking up a bunch of visual (and literal) space.
BenQ ScreenBar Task Lamp
For many people who work from home, even a slim desk lamp might require more space than you have available. The BenQ task lamp is the perfect solution for those situations. Instead of a typical lamp with a base and neck, this device is just the important part: the light.
Just perch it on top of your computer screen, and this powerful lamp will flood your whole desk with light. It certainly doesn’t make a style statement, but it doesn’t get more convenient or more space-saving than this one!
