Reading lamps generate a substantial amount of
"task lighting" which is important when
doing work that requires bright, non shadowed
lighting. Reading lamps were designed specifically
for this reason, providing light in one area,
not illuminating a whole room but for a specific
space. Task lighting is meant to illuminate only
a work or reading surface.
If you want to avoid eyestrain, a reading lamp
for task lighting is the way to go. It is important
to have the proper lighting, failure to do so
can result in headaches, strained eyes and more.
It doesn't matter what style of reading lamp you
choose however halogen and fluorescent bulbs will
do a better job of illuminating a book or ,magazine
more than regular incandescent bulbs. Halogen
bulbs create a whiter glow that is necessary for
reading, resulting in less eye strain and blurred
vision.

to a certain area unlike other types of interior
lighting that add mood and ambiance to a room.
