Top 9 Dorm Room Lamps

The back-to-school season is upon us, which can only mean one thing for college students – it’s time to deck out the dorm room. With limited space and even less privacy, it can be difficult to create a room that truly feels like a home-away-from-home. That’s where seriously stylish LED desk lamps come in, hitting the trifecta of dorm room décor. LED desk lamps are highly functional lights to study and live by, but they take up very little room and desk space, and they help mark your territory by declaring your own personal style.

Check out Lightology’s picks for the top 9 contemporary LED desk and floor lamps for dorms. (For more info on why LED is the way to go, read 5 Reasons to Choose an LED Desk Lamp. Read How to Find the Best Desk Lamp for You for a breakdown of the ins and outs of task lighting.)
