lauavalgust

Lauavalgus, also known as a table lamp or desk lamp, is a portable or fixed lighting fixture designed to provide focused illumination for reading or detailed tasks. The term originates from Estonian, where "laua" means "table" and "valgus" means "light." Lauavalgusega are commonly found in homes, offices, libraries, and educational institutions.

Typical lauavalgused consist of a main light source—such as LED, incandescent, or fluorescent—mounted on a lamp head that can be adjusted in height and angle. Many models include a lamp base or stand with a weight or counterweight to maintain stability. The design of a table lamp varies widely, ranging from minimalist industrial styles to ornate, decorative pieces that serve as artistic focal points in interior décor.

In use, lauavalgused provide a controllable source of illumination that avoids the glare associated with overhead lighting. They can be operated with a single switch or dimmer, allowing users to adjust brightness to suit specific activities such as reading, writing, or crafting. The adjustable head also enables directed lighting, which decreases eye strain and improves task efficiency.

Modern lauavalgused increasingly feature energy-efficient LED bulbs, smart controls, and USB charging ports, allowing the integration of technology into everyday lighting solutions. Because they are relatively inexpensive and versatile, table lamps remain a staple of functional and aesthetic design in both residential and commercial settings worldwide.
