Final Verdict on Sunset Lamps
Sunset lamps are a great way to change the feeling of any room. If you are someone who loves the color of the sun right before sunset and right after sunrise, they are a valuable addition to any room. When we look deeply into these lamps, we find that there are a few stand out features that can make or break your decision on which lamp to pick for yourself.
Versatility
After a while of enjoying the bright yellowy-golden light, some people enjoy changing the colors up. If your sunset lamp has the option to have a different color pattern, they may be of more value to you than others. Options like the Govee floor lamp, the VYLEE Star Projector or the STASUN floor lamp can be great options if you want to change up your color choice every now and again. If you would prefer just the sunset mode, choices like the Sunseto or the Maciebelle Sunset Projector are great options for just sunset mode lamps.
Floor vs. Desk Lamp
Some of the lamps on our list are more built for living spaces rather than bedrooms. If you want to make a larger space mimic the color of the sun, we highly suggest floor lamps, as they tend to have a larger surface space on the bulb to illuminate larger spaces. Desk lamps are better suited for offices or bedrooms. It all depends on where you would like to set your sunset lamp and what you plan to use it for (either for photography/video purposes or to change the aura of a room), as we believe that will determine if you need a floor lamp or a desk lamp.

A sunset lamp is meant to emulate the same golden glow of the sun at the hour after sunrise and the hour before sunset. Sunset lamps project a golden, yellowy tinge into whichever room you place the lamp in and make it feel like the beauty of the sun is within your home.
