   The lamp presents few limits to how one may position or orient the light. A freely adjustable lamp may include means for glare control, as a honeycomb or parabolic louvre that restricts the light output angle. A common form of home task lighting is a goose-neck lamp or swing arm light fixture.

   A balanced-arm lamp has a base, a stand or body, (in most cases) two connected arms (in many cases fitted with springs), and a lamp-head.

   The Lewis lamp would use groups of lamps. The Lewis lamp design proved to have several flaws. To begin, it was really an inferior version of the Argand lamp. The reflector was made of copper with an interior silver plating to reflect light; however, the thin copper would warp under the heat of the lamps to become more spherical than parabolic.
