Advantages of a good reading lamp:
)
Direction of the direct luminous flux via directed light: The light emission, e.g. downwards from the shade, and the alignment of the shade are decisive for this. Precise illumination means that the surroundings remain gently darkened.
)
)
Flexible adjustment: The light should be adjustable depending on the position you are in. Reading lights with joints, movable arms and shades are the first choice. Easy-to-install models, e.g. with a plug, provide even more convenience.
Tip: The benefits of modern LED technology are impressive when it comes to the light source for the reading light - from energy and cost savings to high switching stability and a long service life. Select dimmable lamps and choose either a variant with a flexible light colour or <3,300 Kelvin, i.e. a cosy warm white. Smart light sources increase ease of use and also the fun factor.

Floor lamps as reading light
for the reading corner with a cosy flairThe floor lamp is the perfect reading lamp for the sofa. In trendy styles from Scandi to Industrial, this creates a cosy reading corner in the living room for an evening break with your tablet or favourite book. The floor lamp is best placed behind or next to the sofa so that its pleasant warm white light falls directly onto the pages of the book and there are no distracting shadows. The floor lamp can also be placed at the head of the bed in the bedroom instead of a bedside lamp. With additional reading arm, individualised lighting comfort can be perfected.

Table lamps for reading and working
Functional and available in all stylesPlaced on the side table in the reading corner, table lamps are a practical and cosy option for reading in pleasant light. On the desk they are the must-have for eye-friendly working anyway. Reading lamps with a flexible frame and swivelling shade can be tailored to individual requirements. They provide pinpoint, glare-free light for reading and working.

Wall lamps for reading corners and bedrooms
Wall-mounted reading lampWhen the light in the reading corner comes from diagonally behind, nothing stands in the way of cosy magazine browsing. This works with wall lights for the living room as well as for the bedroom. Whether mounted next to the sofa or at the headboard, the swivelling arm adds even more flexibility to the lighting design. Models are also available with an extra reading lamp - the so-called gooseneck - for direct alignment with the pages of the book.

Pendant lights
Cozyness from aboveAnyone who assumes that pendant lights are only for hallways and dining tables is mistaken. In the reading corner, they bring cosiness from above and create a wonderful lighting atmosphere. Especially in small rooms with limited space, pendant lights are a practical and graceful alternative to the classic floor lamp or uplight. Tip: Models with plugs make setting up the reading corner particularly uncomplicated.
