Five Great Daylight Reading Lamps

As the colder months of the year start to descend upon us and the darker nights draw in, there is nothing nicer than curling up in an armchair with a good book. But reading by the light of a standard lamp might soon lead to eyestrain and headaches, as your eyes become tired from the necessary adjustments that they need to make. If you’ve never tried a Daylight lamp for reading, you will be pleasantly surprised at how comfortable and natural the lighting level feels. In this article, we highlight the benefits of Daylight reading lamps and look at five great choices from our product range for use when curled up with a good book.

Why Use Daylight Reading Lamps?

Using a Daylight lamp when reading will provide the perfect level of lighting, no matter the time of the day. The daylight effect comes from the specification and type of bulbs used. The colour temperature range produced by Daylight lighting allows levels of 5000°K to 6500°K to be selected – the level of natural white daylight – meaning that you can sit and read at any time of the day, as though you were sat in natural daylight.

The clarity and contrast provided by Daylight lamps gives you the ability to see the fine detail on the pages of your book, allowing you to read in comfort and relaxation for as long as you like. The optimal brightness given, combined with high contrast means your eyes feel less strain and reading is pleasurable and relaxing.

Let’s look at some of the lamps from our range that will offer the perfect lighting solution, whether to read for work, study or pleasure.

LED Desk Lamp N4236

The most affordable daylight reading lamp in the range, the LED Desk Lamp N4236 allows you to try the benefits of daylight lighting when reading in a portable and lightweight way. If you like to read on holiday, whilst travelling on a train or plane, the LED Desk Lamp N4236 is powered by USB so can be plugged into a battery pack or laptop. Also perfect for reading whilst working, the lamp provides daylight with 5500°K, replicating natural daylight for reduced eye strain. The flexible gooseneck allows the light to be directed for comfortable reading without disturbing anyone else.

RNIB Lumina Floor Lamp N3173R

The RNIB Lumina Floor Lamp N3173R was developed by us in conjunction with the RNIB and includes features tailored for those with low vision.

With the slim base fitting under a chair or sofa, this lamp would be right at home in a cosy reading corner, angled over your armchair to direct the light down onto your reading material. Offering the ability to select a colour temperature from 2800°K up to 6500°K (natural white daylight), any time of day becomes the perfect time to read. The adjustable brightness allows you to create a cosy feel to your reading area and the handy remote control means that you never need leave your chair to make any adjustments.

If you are looking for a desk lamp to study, read manuals or information on projects, the Chameleon Desk Magnifier N4237 has a wealth of features to ensure a comfortable read.
