If you need the desk lamp for task lighting, the main practical considerations are: Working area – the taller the lamp the more desk area it will light up, so work out how much space you need to illuminate and make sure the lamp has a stand with enough height. If you’ve got a huge desk you’ll need a tall lamp – and perhaps one with a long adjustable stand that can reach across the surface.
Position and direction – if you do different kinds of work (reading, drawing etc) requiring different intensities of light, or have a couple of working areas in your desk space, you may need the flexibility of a desk lamp that can be manipulated and angled.

The right amount of light – with so many people now spending so much of their lives at desks staring at computer screens, eye strain is a real concern, and you need more light as you get older. LED bulbs are generally best for task lighting, and you’ll want an LED of at least 5-10 watts for most desk work purposes. More at http://bestledlamp.com/.
