These lamps are first and foremost meant to be used in order to provide a small amount of light to an immediate desk area. One of the reasons these lamps became an iconic symbol attached so closely with the banker was because they fed into the stereotypical imagine of the banker: a person who stays in their office entirely too late into the night working only by the light of their lamps while the rest of their office remains in darkness. If a bankers lamp is enough to provide these diligent workers with enough light to carry them through the night in the darkest of conditions, then surely enough they can do the same for you.

The bankers green lamp shade is the color in which it is most depicted in although it is offered in many other colors, most often shades of red. The other important part of the lamp itself is the material in which the lamp is made out of. An antique bankers lamp is what the standard among these lamps usually is. In the cheaper versions of the lamp, the entire lamp is not made out of antique brass but rather the existing lamp is just covered with a sheet or plate of antiqued brass; this is good for you because it keeps the price of the lamp low while giving the same impression of a genuine lamp.
