Good lighting can improve almost any situation, whether that’s your mood, a video call, or a drab kitchen. And it can be just about anything: the warm glow of a washi-paper column floor lamp, for example, or the precisely directed diffuser of a task light can instantly illuminate your environs without changing too much else. But there’s a lot out there to choose from.
For every mid-century-modern-inspired arc lamp you come across, there will be an equally appealing wall sconce you could put up instead. Below, we’ve pulled together 100 of our absolute favorite lighting implements — everything from chandeliers to Secret Service–approved flashlights to TikTok-viral LED light strips — in one place. Welcome to the Strategist Lighting District.
The Strategist is designed to surface the most useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape.
