What is the right lamp size for me?
One of the most important things to consider when deciding on a lamp is the height at which the shade will sit once placed on your table or desk. The lamp's bulb and socket should not be visible. The glare from a visible bulb will detract from the beauty of your lamp. If you are planning to use the lamp for reading, take measurements to be sure the lamp will be tall enough to cast its light over your shoulder. The bottom of the shade should be about even with your cheekbone when you are sitting. Remember that a shade with a wider brim will cast more light on the surrounding area below it. A narrower brim will cast less direct light.

What are Tiffany lamps?
Tiffany lamps were produced from 1885-1920, characterized by ornate bronze bases and unique one-of-kind stained-glass shades. By the time Tiffany died in 1933, the popularity of the lamps had declined. However, in 1958 Tiffany's lamps again became popular with a retrospective show that brought his work back to the attention of museums and collectors. Today an original Tiffany lamp sells for more than 2 million U.S. dollars.
The Tiffany lamps available at My Home Lighting are Tiffany-style lamps. We offer Tiffany-style table lamps, as well as Tiffany-style floor lamps. Tiffany-style lamps normally have a polished brass base and ornate shade composed of many pieces of colored glass in various shapes and sizes. Some shades are random-patterned while others have distinct designs.

How do I pick the best size ceiling light to go above my dining room table?
The simplest way is to choose a chandelier or pendant with a diameter equal to half the width of your table. For example: if your table is 62" in diameter, choose a ceiling light that is no more than 31" in diameter. It is best to go a bit smaller than larger if needed but sticking close to the formula will give you a balanced look.
