Millions of reading lamps illuminate our globe, but not all of these lamps deserve the name: \"reading lamps\", because with some so-called reading lamp you rather have the feeling that this is emergency lighting in the house. Admittedly, it is a difficult subject, because where a reading lamp can be bought, various lamps are in operation, the luminosity of a reading lamp can therefore be estimated only very difficult.
What should be the nature of a reading lamp? It is a misconception by very many people that the reading lamp must exclusively illuminate a product to be read. In fact, reading lamps should also indirectly shine the environment. For the human eye, the contrast from light to dark is very strenuous. The consequence are fatigue symptoms, which can be already straining in the professional life with eight hours of work a day, at the desk. Certainly the small advertising lamps, which are clamped into the book page, cannot be called a correct reading lamp. This can only be a makeshift.
What is important when setting up a reading lamp? The central point, the desk, the bed or the reading corner. It does not matter whether it is a table lamp , floor lamp or wall lamp. The beam angle, an adjustment in itself and the bulb are the most important, in the field of reading lamps.
What should be the lamp body? Energy saving lamps are divided into two categories, warm light and cold light, it is a matter of eyes, which light should serve a reading lamp. Also, it should be a light-flooded shade, which gives indirect light to the room. 12 volt lamps are available with different beam angle. As a secondary lighting only to illuminate the reading, they are excellent, as a replacement of the reading lamps they are hardly suitable due to their limited beam angle. Unfortunately, people always try to save on reading lamps. Who needs a reading lamp professionally, should not necessarily on a special offer fall back. The eyes will thank it and still give time to a pair of glasses.
