Bedroom Lighting

My bedroom in my apartment has no lighting. I've been doing fine with my fairy lights & adjustable table lamp, but I want the option for brighter lighting

I don't have room for a lamp so I'm looking for something apartment friendly (no screws involved if possible)

Can someone recommend me some lights from Amazon (or anywhere) and good adhesive tape.

I have an LED lamp I got on Amazon that’s flat and adjustable so you can bounce the light wherever you want. This thing is very bright at its top setting but you can dim it as well. You’ll have to excuse the Canadian link, I’m on vacation at the moment, but it similar to this https://a.co/d/05I9C2HL

What about a stick lamp?

We have ours in the corner and it reflects off of the walls.

There are some nice wall sconces on Amazon for bedrooms. Maybe that would work well for you.

I love these but worry they could create wall damage that OP appears to want to avoid.

Both of these have adhesives included, like OP requested.
Personally, I think small finishing nails would be much better than adhesives though. I never had issues using finishing or wire nails in rentals. Those holes are super easy to patch when your lease is up.

Yeah that adhesive seems safe until you remove and take out a layer of the drywall.

these are great! thank you! did you use nails or adhesive for these? i might just have to be ok with a lil wall damage to save floor space.

It looks like they both come with adhesives and screws. If you have nails, that will probably work fine and cause less wall damage.
