What should I look for in a bedside table lamp?

Across the reviewers we read, the most-cited bedside features are 3-way or stepless dimming, a warm (2700K–3000K) color temperature option, touch or pull-chain controls that work in the dark, and integrated USB-A/USB-C charging plus an AC pass-through outlet so the lamp replaces a power strip. A weighted base also comes up frequently for households with kids or pets.
