Gone are those times in which the role of lamps was based on the simple fact of lighting when sunset began to give way to dark nights. From the discovery of fire to the invention of led lights, humanity has been reinventing the use of lamps and the different types of lights.
Today, light creates atmospheres, decorates and even accompanies the multiple activities of a person in their day-to-day life. About this last point is our today article, focusing on sustainable table lamps ideal for reading moments.
But first, it’s interesting to note how the evolution of the most recent lighting has been responding to environmental concerns, where white LED light has come to replace incandescent lamps, which 100% of the electricity they consume, 95% transform into heat and only the remaining 5% into light. This same trend is happening with eco-friendly design, slow fashion and green architecture. The routes may be various, but the destination is the same: a more sustainable future.
What is the best lighting for reading?
Reading or studying are activities that generally need a close focus. This means that if you don’t have the necessary lighting conditions, your eyes are strained too much, which ends up leading to visual fatigue, headaches and red eyes.
For this reason, there are two critical aspects to consider before choosing your reading spot or the table lamps that will accompany you. First of all, the color and its tonality. The cold lights of about 4,000k-5,000K will be the most useful as it’s proven to improve concentration and attention. Second, orientation and direction. The best light for reading illuminates the book from above and with no obstacles in the middle that produce shadows. So, let’s see some of our sustainable table lamps ideal for your reading moments.
