The days are getting colder, and the nights are getting darker. As you seek shelter from the gloomy clouds that bring about the rains and the threat of monsoons, you might want to update your lightning fixtures.

Whether you are reading through your books, entertaining a small party, or simply setting up the for a comfy night in, the right light dictates the overall mood and scene. After all, who wants to come home to the dull, unflattering light of flourescent bulbs that remind you of work? Here then are lamps that will help you brighten up your nights and ease you into that winding-down, after-work mood.
