Working from home and setting up a mobile desk sometimes can be a challenge as the light at many places

is not ample for being able to write under let alone use a laptop, or review other print media offline.  When

Purchasing a new light some things you should consider are level of illuminance, adjustability, desk size, assembly requirements, color, and Weight.

 

When a manufacturer refers to illuminance they are referring to the quality of the lamp’s light and this unit serves as the best way to measure how well it functions in this area.  When most people hear illuminance they refer to what this means and that is the lux or level of brightness the lamp or light delivers.  Under this category, we also cover whether the light flickers and has a glare or not. Thus, it is always recommended to use the light in the exact location and conditions it will be expected to perform under.

 

Most lights purchased are expected to be used at different levels or angles thus the adjustability of the light and arm is another key area to review when making your purchase. Some lamps are flexible enough to allow tilting of the lamp head and arm, while others allow either head and or arm to move freely to support pointing the light to different angles that may be desired.

 

Besides deciding on whether you need a lamp to be on the desk or be suspended from a floor base the size of your desk is another factor that will affect the usability of the light.  Some of the things you should measure or conclude are the height, width, and depth of the desk.  Thus, it is important to note that smaller desks often do not require a large amount of light but larger ones don’t make it a luxury but a necessity. 

 

Most lamps will come assembled or need just the base to be connected to the arm of the light, while larger floor models will take more time to assemble.  Be sure to look at the operating and assembly instructions before buying to be confident on how it goes together and the appropriate tools required if not included in the box.
