Books, press, comics. We love reading and we all have a favorite reading area in our home. However, inadequate lighting can tire our eyes and end our moment of pleasure. The solution is in the choice of the lamp.
First, we must determine the room where we will place our reading lamp. Keep in mind that the best book light reviews is the one that illuminates the book from above, therefore. It will not be the same reading lamp for a room where we read comfortably reclining in our armchair, that the reading lamp for the room, where we enjoyed a good book lying in bed. Keep reading this article if you have the same question when you think about reading lamps: which one to choose?
On the desk
You need a lamp that gives us a focused light since it is a work and study area. We are recommended for this type of stay. They are table lamps, with a flexible arm or articulated, that allows concentrating and orienting the light towards a certain point. They offer a direct directed light from the flexo to the object directly. The light is projected in a vertical plane downwards with diffusers that orient the light, so they are perfect for reading. Now the models of different styles exist so that they can be combined with the rest of the stay and turn them into one more element of decoration.
In the bedroom
The bed is the favorite place for many to browse a magazine or immerse in the latest novel by our favorite writer. For this, we must have the right light for reading without bothering our partner who may prefer to sleep.
The best solution for these cases are the wall sconces. They are practical, decorative and very trendy solutions. They are usually adjustable, to focus the light without illuminating the room too much, and are adapted for placement on the wall or the headboard of the bed.
In the lounge
For those who prefer to relax by reading a good book on their favorite sofa or armchair, floor lamps are recommended. The ideal place to place this type of lamps is in a corner since they occupy less space and visually the effect is more aesthetic. The floor lamps integrate an articulated arm to direct the beam of light towards the reading area, which is independent of the main light of the lamp and can be lit together or separately. We must take care of the use made of light because according to your choice can enlarge or dwarf the room.
Other things to keep in mind
1. Intensity of light
Another thing that we must take into account, in addition to the stay, is the intensity of the light.
à The light at the time of reading is something to worry about because with adequate lighting, we will not have problems in the eyesight, or fatigue and much fewer headaches.
à The choice of the type of bulb is essential for a good reading and to save energy and consumption. Bulbs with 600-800 lumens (formerly the intensity of the bulbs are measured in watts and are now measured in lumens, which is the amount of light produced by a light bulb) are suitable for most people. However, people with eyestrain usually require more light, so you should look for light bulbs with a higher luminous value.
2. Light tone
The light tone for reading is also important. There are two types of light tones for light bulbs, warm light (more yellow) and cold light (more bluish). The yellow light is not recommended for study or to read because it causes more eyestrain. That is why clear lights are often recommended because they look more like natural light and tireless eyes.
à Yellow light. Ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, corridors and bathrooms.
à White light. Ideal for kitchens, garages, offices or study rooms and for gardens or terraces.
