Advantages of a good reading lamp:

Directional light

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.

Glare-free

Easy on the eyes: A pleasant light for reading is preferably warm white, i.e. <3,000 Kelvin. It is also glare-free and cosy dimmable - just enough to make reading easy on the eyes.

Flexible

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 flair

The 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 styles

Placed 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 lamp

When 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.

LED reading lamps for clamping

Flexible and can be repositioned in a flash

An extremely space-saving solution as a reading lamp is the so-called clamp lamp, which can be attached to the table, shelf or back wall of the bed without any installation effort and supplied with power from a socket. Models with a flexible arm allow the light to be directed in a particularly targeted manner.

uplighter

Particularly practical: with reading arm

The classic LED ceiling washlight provides pleasantly bright, indirect light in the room and often comes with an extra reading arm. The extra reading lamp can be individually aligned to books and tablets and provides targeted light.

Bedside reading lamp

Lighting for snooze reading

Browse through a magazine or do some research in the bedroom in the evening - cosy bedside lighting creates the perfect feel-good atmosphere. In terms of style, the reading lamp for the bed can also be perfectly coordinated with the rest of the interior. Tip: It's not just the classic bedside lamp that provides perfect reading light - a wall light can also fulfil this task wonderfully.

Cosy light for the reading corner

Lighting for snooze reading

The arched luminaire is predestined for the cosy reading corner, bending elegantly over the sofa and armchair to provide cosy light from above. Even when switched off during the day, the popular design pieces form a graceful symbiosis with the chaise longue. When a warm white cone of light frames the cosy reading area in the evening, the ambience is perfect.

Portable reading lamps

Light flair 2Go

battery lights make the reading experience even more flexible. Once charged via a USB connection, wireless table lamps can be placed anywhere in the home - and can also be taken out onto the patio or into the outdoor living room. The practical, portable lights can be moved from the hammock to the sofa at any time and provide flair with their warm white, often dimmable light.

Pendant lights

Cozyness from above

Anyone 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.
