Perch Metal Desk Lamp

via wayfair.com

We all know lighting is important when we need to get stuff done at home. When planning out your home workspace, why not blend function with design? This desk lamp from ORE Furniture has a great blend of style and adjustability to make light available where you need it. It uses a 60W bulb which should be enough for most small to medium size desks. Our one note, the finish is a bit lighter than it seems in its photos.

Philips Wake-Up Light

This alarm clock/lamp hybrid is not a cheap option for an alarm clock, or a lamp for that matter. However, this alarm clock illuminates based on your set alarm time, mimicking the sun to wake you up gently yet effectively. It reduces the attempts to snooze, and drastically decreases immediate drowsiness for us gentlemen who wake up before 8:30am between November and March. Night shift workers, and those early morning Monday business trippers trying to catch the 6:00am flight, this is for you.
