What is lamp?

A lamp is a tool that helps us see when it gets dark.

Imagine you're playing in your room, and suddenly all the lights go out, poof, it's like night time! A lamp is like a small friend that says, “Don’t worry, I’ll help you see!” You put it on a table or hold it in your hand, and with just a push of a button or a twist of a knob, it starts to glow, whoosh, light comes back!

How a Lamp Works

A lamp has something inside called a bulb, which is like a tiny glowing ball. When you turn the lamp on, electricity flows into the bulb, and zap, it lights up! This light helps us read our favorite books or find our toys in the dark.

Why We Use Lamps

Sometimes we don’t want all the lights in the house to be on, maybe we’re just reading a story before bed. A lamp is like a cozy, gentle friend that gives just enough light for what we need, without making everything too bright.
