Why a good reading lamp is indispensable

✔️ Creates a cozy atmosphere
✔️ Can be a real eye-catcher in terms of style



Did you know? Light that is too dark or too bright can cause headaches and make it difficult to fall asleep. Choosing the right brightness and color temperature is therefore essential.


Requirements for a reading light



Reading lamps are an indispensable tool for anyone who likes to read, study or work. They make it possible to read comfortably even in dark environments or late at night without straining the eyes.


A good reading lamp should therefore have a number of important features to maximize reading pleasure and protect the health of the eyes.



- One of the most important features of a reading lamp is the ability to dim the brightness. This makes it possible to adjust the lamp to individual needs and protect the eyes. It is well known that too bright a light can strain the eyes and cause fatigue. One dimmable reading lamp makes it possible to adjust the brightness to the surroundings and make reading more pleasant.


- Another important feature of a reading lamp is its brightness. A reading lamp should be bright enough to make it easy to see the book or work documents. A lamp that is too dim can cause eye fatigue and make reading more difficult.


- A good reading lamp should also be flexibly adjustable so that the direction of light can be determined and glare can be avoided. Flexible adjustment of the lamp makes it possible to direct the light precisely onto the book or work documents and avoid glare. This helps you to feel comfortable while reading or working and protects your eyes.


- LED bulbs are a good choice for reading lamps as they do not get as hot near the head as others light sources . This is important to avoid an uncomfortable feeling and not to affect the health of the eyes.


The Color Rendering Index



Another important factor when choosing a reading lamp is the CRI value (Color Rendering Index). This value indicates how well the colors of an object are reproduced by the lamp. A high CRI value means that the colors appear more natural and vivid.


This is particularly important if you read or work a lot, as it makes reading more pleasant and less tiring. A lamp with a high CRI value helps to reduce eye strain and makes you feel comfortable while reading or working.


Another important feature of a reading lamp is the placement of the light. The light should ideally come from behind the shoulder towards the book to avoid glare and protect the eyes. A reading lamp that directs the light onto the book or work documents from behind makes reading more pleasant and less tiring.
