Good light makes everything better: a drab kitchen, a video call, your mood, your nighttime routine. But there are so many kinds of lights — both in terms of function and style — that it can be overwhelming to try to make sense of all the options and find the best one for your purposes.

We’ve written about a lot of lighting on the Strategist — everything from the selfie light Paris Hilton uses to Secret Service–approved flashlights to a trendy lamp made out of a real croissant. So let us help. Below, we’ve pulled together 100 of our absolute favorite lighting implements for all kinds of uses and spaces, from fuel-free lighters to sculptural, museum-worthy Noguchi lamps. 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. Some of our latest conquests include the best acne treatments, rolling luggage, pillows for side sleepers, natural anxiety remedies, and bath towels. We update links when possible, but note that deals can expire and all prices are subject to change.
