When buying desk lamps, would having Energy Star rated light bulbs be sufficient enough? Or do the actual lamps have to be Energy Star rated?

Hi Reynaldo, lamp purchases (the actual bulbs) are dealt with separately under the Reduced Mercury in Lighting credit. According to the Energy Star web site, labeled desk lamps are available, and my opinion is that you would need a label on the actual fixture in order to claim compliance with the criteria for this credit. The bulbs don't really factor into this credit at all.
