From our previous article 3 Things to Think About When Buying a Desk Lamp, you might have a clearer idea of the importance and key things to look into when choosing a desk lamp. But do you know that you should also get a modern desk lamp that is specifically designed for you when reading on a monitor, tablet or mobile phone screen? Let us tell you why.
First of all, since the reading direction of traditional hard copies is horizontal, we usually put hard copies on the table to read. Therefore, the design of light sources has generally been lighting in a vertical direction since 1930. However, screen reading is a different story, its reading direction is vertical, and the direction of the light source required is different from a typical desk lamp.
Moreover, the biggest difference between the monitor screen and traditional hard copy is that a monitor screen generates its own light, but a hard copy does not. That means, if we use a general desk lamp to illuminate the monitor, the monitor screen will generate glare, which in turn affects the health of human eyesight.
From this point of view, since screen reading is very popular at present, we really need a desk lamp that is tailor-made for this trend. So, what kind of desk lamp should be a good computer monitor light?
