Advantages of a good reading lamp:
)
The direction of the direct luminous flux is determined by the light emission—such as downwards from the shade—and the orientation of the shade itself. The precise illumination means that the surroundings remain gently darkened.
)
)
Flexible adjustment: The light should be adjustable depending on the position you are in. Reading lamps with joints, movable arms and shades are the ideal choice. Models with a plug can be even more convenient.
Tip: As a light source for your reading lamp, we recommend modern LED technology! The benefits are impressive: energy and cost savings, high switching reliability, and a long service life. Select dimmable lamps and choose either a variant with a flexible light color or <3,300 Kelvin, i.e. a cozy warm white. Smart light sources increase ease of use and also the fun factor.
