—— How to Choose Desk Lamps
Desk lamps are designed to give you proper lighting and provide focus light for various tasks - they are very task oriented.
A suitable desk lamp is your reliable partner. So in this article, we will tell you how to choose the lamp that suits you.
How to Choose Desk Lamps
1. Sizing
The key step in choosing the ideal lamp is to measure your space. If the desk is small or you are full of things, you won't want to choose a large desk lamp. The general rule of thumb is to ensure that the area of the desk lamp is proportional to the area of the desk.
2. Colour Temperature
The best color temperature for learning is neutral or warm, because it helps to concentrate and won't make you lazy. For reading, we should choose a neutral color temperature. At night, we must switch to warm color (yellow) and dim the light if possible. It will help us calm down and prepare for the rest in the evening.
3. Functionality
Whether you choose the traditional incandescent lamp or the energy-saving LED lamp, the desk lamp should emit bright light instead of strong light. Make sure the light is bright and comfortable to work in, otherwise you may have the risk of eye fatigue.
Another characteristic to be considered is dimmability. When performing some tasks, you may need more or less light than other tasks. The dimmer switch allows you to increase the brightness when you need it.
4. Flickering of light
We can't see the flashing light with the naked eye. However, it does cause eye fatigue and even headache. Many LED light sources are equipped with very high frequency controllers to ensure that flicker does not occur (CC / IC icon on the package). We should choose LED lights with good reputation - although they may be more expensive, the light they emit is safer for the eyes.
5. Placement
The position of the light should never be in your sight. Put the light on your head and aim it at your work space. On the desktop, place the lamp in the corner opposite to the place where you work to prevent shadows. For example, if you are left-handed, the desk lamp should be placed on the right to avoid shadows when you write.
