If your eyes burn and you get a headache while working at your desk, a desk lamp is usually missing. Do you know this? Then perhaps you too are currently faced with the decision of which desk lamp will make your work a little easier. Our tip: Take a look at modern LED desk lamps.
This depends entirely on the luminaire - and on the quality of the lighting technology The lighting technology is the same for all LEDs, but the luminous efficacy, i.e. how many lumens are produced for how many watts, differs depending on the product. A good LED desk lamp with 5-6 watts can achieve the brightness of a 60-watt light bulb. Others achieve the output of a 40-watt bulb with 10 watts. But apart from that: **The LED desk lamps all save money.
However, it becomes clear that it is much more important to know how brightly a desk lamp shines. And this is measured in lumens.
Just 200 lumens more at your desk can make the difference between seeing documents well and straining, watering, burning eyes. Even better are 400-500 lumens additional brightness.
LED desk lamps that produce 400 or more lumens are often dimmable, so the brightness can be easily adjusted to suit your own requirements. This is also important if the one hour of work in the evening turns into a busy night. If at some point it becomes far too bright, you can dim down the brightness.
But by the way: even a desk lamp is no substitute for healthy sleep!
At Lights.ie you will find the lumen specification on the product page in the "Luminous flux in lumens" line.
Lumens (and no longer watts) denote the brightness of an LED desk lamp. Anyone who has used older lighting technologies such as incandescent lamps or still uses them in their homes can do the math: Wattage of the light bulb times 10 gives approximately its lumen value. A 400-lumen LED light is therefore equivalent to the brightness of a 40-watt light bulb. That's enough for brightly illuminated documents!
You can find out whether a desk lamp has these functions in the product details.
You have decided on a product, received it, unpacked it - and are now wondering where best to place the desk lamp. Very simple: As a right-hander on the left side, as a left-hander on the right side. This prevents you from creating shadows on the documents with your hand.
The desk lamp is ideally complemented by good general lighting, e.g. ceiling lights. This is important to prevent strong brightness contrasts between the desk and the room. If this is not done, the eyes also tire very quickly. And even the best LED desk lamp won't help.
Modern design, no, you don't want that? Would you rather see classic or creative design on your desk? Don't worry! With LED desk lamps, "modern" refers solely to the quality and the many advantages of the lighting technology.
When it comes to the design itself, you will notice that even design classics such as the Tolomeo, which celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2017. birthday, are now equipped with LEDs. And of course you can insert an LED lamp into any banker lamp with an E27 socket. Then this also becomes modern with a flick of the finger (or by screwing in the bulb)!
