Why Should you Use a Desklight?

Desk lights fall under the category of task lights. As task light serves the function of localized lighting which provides you with the adequate amount of light needed to perform a given task.

Task lighting may be used for activities which need high focus – reading, writing, craft work, working, using a computer, putting on makeup or even shaving.

Your regular light in the house is not designed to be suitable for all activities. It is also not efficient to use your regular lighting for all sorts of tasks. You can dim down your regular lights to create a soothing atmosphere and use only a task light for the work you are doing. This saves energy and is also better for your eyes.

If you are using the desk light in an area such as the living room with TV and other ambient light, you may want to use an LED Desk light – which will have a more focused beam and will not interfere with your other lighting.

What Kind of Desklight is Suitable to You?

A good desk light will save you from eye strain and headaches. As you get older, your eyes need more light to be able to focus better on the task at hand. However, starting young is the key to keeping your eyes healthy.

Warm color temperatures are soothing and make for nice atmosphere, while cooler color temperatures stimulate the brain and may increase productivity.

Philips LED Desk lights use a matte diffuser and are designed to reduce glare, eye strain and eye fatigue.

We recommend products ranging from 3-5w for all your home needs.

How Should a Desk light be Used?

A desk light should be used away from your eyes and either above/behind your head. The lamp source should never be directed towards your eyes.
