A stable base (for all us tossers and turners), a shade that efficiently diffuses light, and dimmability or smart-bulb compatibility are musts. Also: a cord that’s a minimum of five feet long. Keeping all this in mind, we tested more than a dozen models and found a few that produce a Goldilocks amount of light—and look good doing it.
