Best LED Swing Arms For Bedside (Reviews/Ratings/Prices)

February 18th, 2016 | 2 min. read

By Roger Pontes

Swing arm lamps are very popular. It’s a great idea to install one on either side of your bed for reading. Instead of turning the main light fixture on and risk upsetting your spouse, you can just turn on the swing arm lamp and use that instead. 

There are different types of light bulbs available for swing arm lamps. They are available in Halogen, Incandescent, Fluorescent, as well as LED.

LED

LED is the most popular bulb for good reason. It uses a fraction of the energy of an incandescent bulb and will probably last 20 years, so you don't have to replace it. LED is also a cool bulb and lacks the heat emission of an incandescent.

The color quality of LED has vastly improved as has the selection of the lamps using this bulb.

Below are some options for LED Swing Arm Lamps.
