Nightstand Lamps, Set of 2
Every lamp on this page is sold as a set of 2, and the pair costs 25 percent less than buying the same lamp twice. You choose one design and two identical lamps arrive together, one for each side of the bed. That matters more than it sounds. A bedroom reads as finished when the two nightstands mirror each other, which is why stagers insist on a matched pair. Sixteen designs below, from a 9.4 inch cordless dome to a 15.7 inch glass banker's lamp.
Why a matched pair beats two lamps that nearly match
A matched pair works because the eye reads symmetry as a decision and near-symmetry as an accident. Two lamps of roughly the same height in different materials tend to look like you bought one, then could not find the second.
The one case where mismatched lamps hold up is a bedroom where the two nightstands are genuinely different, a chest on one side and a small table on the other. Then match the shade height instead of the lamp, so the two pools of light land at the same level.

How the pair price works
Open any lamp, choose the set of 2 option, and the second lamp is half price. That is 25 percent off the two-lamp total, and the exact price for that lamp is shown on its own page.

What height to buy when both nightstands are the same
Aim for the bottom of the shade to sit near eye level when you are sitting up in bed, so the bulb is never in your line of sight and the light falls on the page rather than in your face. If your nightstand sits level with the mattress, that usually means a lamp of 26 to 30 inches; most nightstands sit higher than that, and then a shorter lamp is the right one.
The practical version: measure from the top of your nightstand to your eye when you are sitting up against the headboard, and look for a lamp a little shorter than that number. Heights are printed on each product page wherever the supplier has confirmed them.

Two lamps on two crowded nightstands
The average US bedroom nightstand is already carrying a phone and its cable, a glass of water, a book and a pair of glasses. Footprint decides whether a pair works, not height.
The narrowest bases here are the cordless ones, because there is no cable and no adapter to route behind the bed. The Noir dome measures 4.7 inches across and weighs 430 grams, so it takes up about as much room as a coffee mug.

What arrives in the box
Two lamps in one delivery. Mains lamps take a standard E26 bulb, which is not included, so buy two bulbs at the same time and pick 2700K warm white rather than daylight, which is the temperature people actually sleep well under.
The USB lamps ship with a US adapter and the cordless ones with a USB-C charger, so those arrive ready to switch on.

Common questions
Do both lamps have to be the same design?
Yes. The set of 2 price applies to two of the same lamp, which is the point of a matched pair. If you want two different lamps, buy them as two single lamps.
How much do I save on a set of 2?
25 percent off the two-lamp total. The second lamp is half price.
Do the two lamps arrive together?
Yes, in one delivery. Orders are processed in 1 to 2 business days and then delivered in 8 to 11 business days, so count on 9 to 13 business days in total from the day you order. You get a tracking number by email as soon as the order ships.
Do bedside lamps have to match?
No, but a matched pair is the safest choice and the one that makes a bedroom look deliberate. If your two nightstands are different heights, match the height of the shade rather than the height of the lamp.
Are bulbs included?
Not on the mains lamps, which take a standard E26 bulb. The USB and cordless lamps have an integrated LED, so there is nothing to buy.
What does shipping cost?
Nothing. Shipping is free on every order, and you have 30 days from delivery to return an item.
Can I exchange an item instead of returning it?
Yes. Within 30 days of delivery you can swap an item for a different colour, size or product. Email support@qualuxdecor.com with your order number and what you would like instead.
