In Swedish, the noun lampa is of common gender; its plural indefinite form is lampor, and its plural definite form is lamporna. The definite plural is used when the lamps are specific and known to the listener or reader, for example: “Lamporna i taket lyser starkt” (The lamps in the ceiling are shining brightly).

The form lamporna is also found in written language when referring to a defined set of lamps within a larger context.

Lamporna may also appear as a proper noun in certain contexts, where it is capitalized and used as a place name, brand, or title. In such cases its meaning is determined by the surrounding context rather than by the general word for lamps.
