Baldwin brass lamps come with a lot of history as they are one of the first companies in the United States to master metal. Aside from that, most Baldwin brass lamps are a work of art. These are just a few of the many reasons why Baldwin brass lamps are sought after by homeowners.

Keep in mind that Baldwin brass lamps come in many different shapes, styles, and sizes. Each of the lamps has a specialty, and it's best that you buy the one that is a perfect fit for your situation. This article is going to help you with that.

What type of lighting do you need?

Lamps are often categorized into either for ambient lighting or task lighting.

If you are looking for a lamp with the primary purpose of illuminating the room, then what you are looking for is ambient lighting.
If the reason that you're buying a lamp is because you need a light for reading purposes or doing some other task, then what you are looking for is task lighting.

Although some lamps can do both, they're generally inefficient choices as they are either more expensive, they only do an "okay" job at being a task or ambient lighting or both. When purchasing a Baldwin brass lamp, you must first determine which one of the two you want or need.

What kind of Baldwin brass lamp is optimal for ambient lighting?

Because the primary purpose of ambient lighting is to provide general lighting, the lampshade is designed to allow the light to escape sideward and upwards. Hence, the lampshade should be translucent and should not block the light.

Another factor to consider is the shape of the lampshade. Generally, you'd want a shape that allows light to be redirected upwards. Thus, your best choices would fall into an upside-down cone or drum shape.

What kind of Baldwin brass lamp is optimal for task lighting?

As mentioned above, task lighting lamp is designed to provide you with light when you are reading, drafting or doing some other task. The light should be blocked from going out the sides and should be redirected towards the bottom.

Thus, you'd want a lampshade that comes with a black color on the outside and a shiny and reflective material on the inside.

When choosing the right shape, your best options are empire, coolie and bell-shaped.

How to pick the right height for a Baldwin brass lamp?

The height of the lamp is another essential factor that you need to get right. There are a couple of methods to determine the right height, but one of the simplest is the eye-level rule.

The idea behind the eye-level rule is straightforward. You just need to make sure that the bottom part of the lampshade is lower when compared to your eye level. The eye-level rule ensures that you don't have a direct line of sight with the bulb. Otherwise, the glare or the brightness may be uncomfortable or painful to the eyes.

Knowing if you should get an ambient or task lighting lamp and determining the right height are among the first things you need to take care of to ensure you get the right Baldwin brass lamp for your home.
