Last but not least: the space saver (or the intermediate solution)

No chance! Either is no bedside table there or the space on it is needed differently.

But to connect a wall lamp or a hanging lamp? If I can not, I do not want to, I’m not allowed to do that (because it’s a student flat, for example) or maybe it’s not possible.

No matter if space limitations or because of that Temporary solution must be found or both: Clamp and socket lights are the solution.

These two lighting options for the bedroom are …

Ideal is one Socket light in about 60-70 cm height and in good reach for the arm or one Clamping light at the same height and with a switch that is also good for the arm.
