A typical caned lamp is an object with a lightbulb inside, a tube that holds the lightbulb, and a glass or plastic caned-shaped shade. The shade usually has the look of the cane weaving, which gives the lamp its name.
The lamp is great for an ambient light in any room of the house. The lightbulb inside is usually an incandescent bulb, which is a more expensive type of bulb, but has a longer life and provides a warmer light.
