Why a Touch Lamp Might Be the Best Thing You Put on Your Nightstand

You know the move. It's late, the room is dark, and you're patting around the base of your lamp trying to find that tiny twist knob without knocking over your water glass. Nobody enjoys that.

Bedroom lighting should be easy. Whether you're finishing a chapter before bed or getting up early without waking your partner, you want a lamp that just works. That's where a 3-way touch dimmable lamp comes in.

You can stop hunting for the switch

With a touch lamp, the whole metal base is the sensor. Tap it anywhere and the light comes on. Tap again to change the brightness, and once more to turn it off. There's no knob to find and nothing to fumble with in the dark.

Three brightness levels for three kinds of evenings

• Low: A soft glow for middle-of-the-night wake-ups, feeding a baby, or using the lamp as a nightlight.
• Medium: Comfortable for winding down, scrolling, or watching TV.
• High: Bright enough to read in bed or find a matching pair of socks on a gray morning.

Charging right where you need it

Most of us end up with a tangle of cords and power bricks on the nightstand. Some lamps solve that, including the Lamps By Ingleside 3-Way Dimmable Bedside Lamps Set, which has built-in USB-C and USB-A ports. Plug in your phone, tablet, or e-reader and keep the cables tucked out of the way.

The bottom line

A pair of touch-controlled, dimmable lamps makes the bedroom easier to live in and looks good doing it. If you're ready for the upgrade, take a look at the collection at Lamps By Ingleside.
