portable luminaire

Portable luminaires are one of the most common and versatile types of lighting we use today.
Table lamps, floor lamps, desk lamps and torchieres are used in many residential applications. In one fixture you can combine all three types of lighting; task, ambient and accent. And, you can unplug the luminaire, move it around the room, change shades, or change bulb types.
Portables have one main advantage over permanently installed fixtures - they are, portable. We can move them around and play with the design and mood of a space. Portables also allow us to move the light close to a task area. This can increase the light on the task and also save energy in the process.
