Different versions and areas of application

Whether as a cozy bedside lamp, general table lamp or special desk lamp - perfect reading light supports the eyes during daily work. The eye-friendly lighting provides a gentle, fatigue-free and direct light even in the evening hours, which relaxes the senses and sharpens concentration. Flexibility is very important here, because modern reading lamps often offer adjustable arms and heads, different brightness levels and sometimes even different light colors in order to adapt perfectly to individual needs and the respective activity. From flexible, movable arms to easily rotating spots to height-adjustable models, there is something for everyone - in matt, clear, glossy or another version!

Articulated desk lamp

When it comes to mobility and flexibility, articulated desk lamps offer all the features and functions for relaxed reading from every angle. Whether wireless charging, dimmability or timer - while the lamp shines in all its glory, you can concentrate entirely on your reading pleasure and flexibly move the spot into the desired position. The advantage: These variants enable precise alignment of the light, which not only optimally illuminates the reading area for appropriate lighting, but also avoids unwanted reflections and shadows. This is an effective way to prevent eye strain.

Clamp light

As a clamp light, a reading lamp is extremely mobile. This means you can move freely in your rooms and attach your reading lamp in a variety of places. Do you like to read your newspaper at the kitchen table in the morning or make yourself comfortable in the reading corner in the living room in the evening? Just take your clamp light with you. Even as a reading lamp attached to the bed, it provides a soft and bright light.

Floor lamp

Do you have a favorite place where you like to read? Then a floor lamp is just the thing for your reading pleasure. Stable and robust, it casts a pleasant light in the room exactly where you need it and creates a cozy atmosphere that invites you to linger. With its elegant design and targeted lighting, it is not only a visual highlight in your home, but also a reliable partner that will accompany your reading adventures with its focused light. Whether next to the armchair, the sofa or in the cozy seating area - the floor lamp is not only suitable as a perfect reading lamp, but also brings character and warmth to your personal reading oasis.

Advantages of a reading lamp

With a good reading lamp, you not only see what you are reading much better, you also protect your eyes. On the one hand, you prevent symptoms of fatigue and, on the other hand, you can read longer according to your personal preferences. But there are many other advantages of a reading lamp for long reading pleasure:

• Atmosphere: With a reading lamp you can create a cozy and concentrated atmosphere that makes it easier to immerse yourself in reading thanks to optimal reading light.
• Better concentration: By specifically illuminating the reading material, you can concentrate better on the text without being distracted by shadow areas.
• Design and style: Reading lamps are often a question of style, as design elements that underline the aesthetics of a room.
• Flexibility: Many reading lights are adjustable, so the beam of light is directed exactly where you need it.
• Adjustable brightness: Some reading lamps offer the option of individually adjusting the brightness as desired using a dimming function.
• Mobility: Smaller models in particular are light and can be easily transported to different places in the house.
• Reading at night: A reading lamp allows you to read without lighting up the entire room, so with adequate lighting you won't disturb other people.
• Versatility: The specimens can also be used for other activities such as crafting, drawing or writing where good lighting is important.

These characteristics are what matter!

Our reading lights are predominantly equipped with LED bulbs because these have a much longer lifespan than conventional halogen lamps or models with light bulbs. You can also easily change the color with the LEDs to create just the right reading mood in your environment. For a warm white light, the LEDs shine with a color temperature of around 2,700 to 3,300 Kelvin. Neutral white light (3,300 to 5,300 Kelvin) is ideal for quiet reading evenings, providing balanced lighting for most reading environments. Cold white light in the range of 5,300 to 6,500 Kelvin, on the other hand, promotes concentration and is particularly suitable for concentrated work and reading.

The light intensity – expressed in lumens – should be high enough so that the eyes are not strained. Dimmable models ensure that the brightness can be individually adjusted to different times of day and activities in no time. Our reading lights illuminate the reading area in a targeted manner and ensure a glare-free environment at all times. You also benefit from the optimal energy efficiency that characterizes LED lights: the long-lasting, long-burning lights not only consume comparatively little electricity, but also hardly get warm despite the bright light. And finally, additional functions such as USB ports or different light modes offer further practical advantages.

Frequently asked Questions

How important is the design of a reading lamp compared to functionality?

The design is particularly important in relation to the aesthetics of the room in which the reading lamp is placed. While functionality is essential to protect the eyes and ensure optimal lighting, design contributes to the overall effect of the room and should therefore be chosen in accordance with personal taste and furnishings.

How can I extend the life of an LED in a reading lamp?

To extend the lifespan of an LED, you should not leave the lamp on for an unnecessarily long time and - if possible - use the dimming function so that the LED does not constantly work at maximum power. It is also helpful to protect the lamp from dust, although many of our models are already dust-protected with a lampshade.

What safety aspects do I have to consider when using a reading lamp in the children's room?

When using it in a child's room, for example, make sure that the lamp is set up or secured in a stable and tilt-proof manner to avoid accidents. LED lamps generate very little heat, so even small children cannot burn themselves if they touch them. Additionally, cords and plugs should be securely located and out of the reach of small hands to avoid the risk of electric shock or strangulation.
