What makes the perfect desk lamp? Most experts agree that halogen or fluorescent desk lamps do a better job of illuminating printed reading material than ordinary incandescent bulbs. Halogen bulbs produce a whiter light that is perfect for reading and ensures good page illumination. Newer fluorescent bulbs produce a whiter light and use 80% less energy than normal bulbs.

Here are some tips for using your new desk lamp: Readers who are right-handed should position the light hitting the text on their left hand side, and vice versa. This prevents page-turning from casting shadows across the reading material. Use an adjustable desk lamp near computers to provide light on keyboards and desk tops, avoiding screen areas. Choose a desk lamp that allows you to adjust lighting to hourly or seasonal changes. Add a line dimmer for maximum control of your new desk lighting. Use a desk lamp along with table lamps, floor lamps, ceiling lighting, wall lighting and home accents to create a total lighting look for your home or office.
