Green Glass Desk Lamp: The Only Light on the Desk

A classic banker's lamp. It has a brass base and an adjustable arm, with a dark green glass or enamel shade, semi-cylindrical and open downwards; the light is directed completely downwards, illuminating only about one meter of the tabletop, and the shade itself is only visible as a green reflection along its edge in the dark. It is the only light source on the table. Avoid: using modern LED desk lamps, using upward indirect lighting, having a transparent shade that scatters light, using cool white light.

一盞經典的學院檯燈。它有一個黃銅的底座與可調的支架,燈罩是墨綠色的玻璃或琺瑯,呈半圓筒形向下開口;光被完全向下導引,只照亮桌面上約一米的範圍,燈罩本身在暗中只看得到邊緣的一道綠色反光。它是桌上唯一的光源。避免:使用現代的 LED 檯燈、使用向上打的間接照明、讓燈罩是透明的讓光散開、使用冷白光。
