Choose the right lighting to eliminate eye strain and fatigue and ensure the perfect environment for office tasks or schoolwork.<\/p>\n

Here are a few tips to help you select the right light for creating the perfect work space.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Halogen, CFL and LED Bulbs<\/h2>\n

Halogen and fluorescent bulbs generally do a better job of illuminating reading material than normal incandescent bulbs. Today\u2019s fluorescent bulbs and tubes are available in a wide range of colors, plus they use up to 80% less energy and last 20 times longer.<\/p>\n

Energy-Efficient Desk Lamps from Lamps Plus<\/h2>\n

There are a wide range of halogen desk lamps, energy efficient CFL lamps and LED desk lamps now on the market that you can choose from.<\/p>\n

Adjustable Desk Lamps – Where to Place<\/h2>\n

An adjustable desk lamp provides additional light to the desk and keyboard. Position the lamp so it will not reflect on the computer screen.<\/p>\n

The lamp should be placed so that hand shadows don\u2019t streak across your work. If you\u2019re right-handed, this means placing the light source on the left side of your desk.<\/p>\n

And when selecting a desk lamp, make sure the arm is long enough and flexible enough to shine light where you need it and out of your way when you don’t need it.<\/p>\n

Another good rule of thumb to keep in mind is to measure a distance of 15″ from the desk top to the desk lamp shade’s bottom. A desk lamp that adjusts to or has a shade at this height keeps light focused on the desk top and reading materials.<\/p>\n

USB Desk Lamps<\/h2>\n

Dorm rooms and small workspaces are notorious for bad lighting and a scarcity of electrical outlets.<\/p>\n

Solve both problems by selecting desk lamps that feature a USB port.<\/p>\n

Beyond the Desk Lamp<\/h2>\n

If you don\u2019t want to fill valuable desk space with a lamp, consider placing a multi-functional floor lamp nearby that can shine direct light to task areas.<\/p>\n
