Gooseneck Lamp

Gooseneck lamps are very popular, especially when it comes to desk and reading lamps. They have an extremely flexible neck that is easily able to bend over to illuminate anything that you are working on. More recently designers have used the adaptability of the gooseneck lamp to design floor lamps that can be used in living areas to either highlight or accentuate. They can also be used to provide lighting for those wanting to read or do other detailed work as they can be positioned so that they shine directly on a page of a book or on any craft work that is being done, while still adding to the overall decor of a room.

There are, however, some other less known uses for a gooseneck style lamp. They make great piano lamps. It can be difficult to play piano in a dimmed setting, especially if you need to read the music as you are playing. A gooseneck piano lamp can sit on top of the piano and shine either on the music sheets or on the piano keys themselves.

Portable gooseneck lamps, which are often powered by batteries, are very useful for those caring for the elderly or people who are confined to a wheelchair. They are so designed that they can be easily moved from place to place thus they can be moved very easily from bedside to wheelchair. Their very versatility makes them very suitable for this type of use.

In the bedroom they have found their place as a bedside lamp. You can find either standalone lamps or lamps that clip onto a bed head. Both styles are extremely useful when used as a bed side lamp as they can be positioned to shine only on one side of the bed. This is very helpful for the person wanting to read while their partner is sleeping.

They also have their use in the photo studio. Lighting is always an issue in photography studios as the right lighting can make a photo shoot either successful or not. A gooseneck lamp can be positioned to add highlights to the people or items being photographed, or they can be positioned behind the photographer to add more subtle light to a photo.

As you can see, there are many varied uses for a gooseneck lamp. The flexibility of the neck and the ability to fairly accurately direct the light source makes them very useful for many different tasks.
