Need A New Lamp, Please Help

[Blog Marley]

Looking for a lamp for about $100-200 ideally I'd like something bright enough to light up a small room but would settle for a table lamp mainly for reading. Thanks

http://www.pbteen.com/stylehouse/tip...deas/index.cfm it sounds like you are not sure what kind of lamp you need - figure that out first http://yaleappliance.blogspot.com/search/label/lighting saying "i need a lamp" is like saying "i need a shirt" -- well, what kind of shirt do you need

Thanks, I'm deciding between going for a floor lamp or a desk lamp. I'd prefer a floor lamp. And possibly get a cheap desk lamp to supplement it. Room lighting is more important at the moment.

www.ylighting.com has some great designs, although the selection in your price range is limited. Slightly more than your budget, but a classic is the Tolomeo:

I am also periodically impressed by some of Crate & Barrel's lighting offerings.

For example, their "Violin Lamp" (a short floor lamp) is interesting and unique:

Also, in your price range, I'd consider the adjustible "Simon" floor lamp, creating an interesting hybrid:

Pottery Barn also has an interesting LED table lamp with a clean design and an approachabel price (note that this may be a final sale item precluding return):
