Start with the purpose
Choose a lithophane lamp for photo gifting, a modern LED lamp for desk ambience, and a hanging lamp when the room needs soft decorative lighting.
Check power and placement
Before ordering, decide whether the lamp will sit near a USB point, bedside table, desk or shelf. Placement affects size, cable needs and brightness.
Choose the right material colour
Light colours usually diffuse lamp light better. Lithophanes use translucent white because the image needs controlled light transmission.
