Tensor Lamps

When it comes to lighting that’s a ten-out-of-ten in terms of style and function, nothing beats Tensor lamps. Debuting in the early 1960s, the Tensor lamp was a high-intensity low-voltage desk lamp designed by James Monroe. It was first adopted by doctors and dentists before becoming a mainstay of office professionals. As it shifted to household lighting, the Tensor lamp began to be produced in a wide range of rainbow hues, including orange, yellow, and avocado green.
