Where Reading Lamps Work Best

A reading lamp should be the lighting of choice any place in the home where you plan to read. Reading a book or the newspaper in dim light is not a recommended practice, so you will want a floor lamp that can offer plenty of focused illumination to light up all of the words on a page. In the living room, place a well-chosen reading lamp in a corner by your favorite chair or near a couch for over-the-shoulder lighting. Floor reading lamps are portable and easy to maneuver around any type of furniture anytime you choose to rearrange or redecorate the chairs and tables you have in the room. The home office also benefits from reading floor lamps, and the contemporary lighting design of many of these reading lights offers a fresh, updated look for rooms that can otherwise become stuffy or visually heavy. Finally, in the bedroom where a reading sconce or table lamp may not be present, consider adding one of these standing floor lamps to ensure plenty of light for reading in bed.

Adding LED to your Reading Lighting

LED technology has revolutionized interior lighting with energy-efficient, clean-burning illumination that works well in various spaces. In particular, the home office has benefitted from LED task lighting that increases productivity and makes seeing fine details practically effortless. Modern LED reading lamps combine sleek style with adjustable lamping for use in bedrooms, dens, and offices. LED reading lamps are ideal for use on bedside tables or end tables in living rooms, providing consistent illumination that lasts for years compared to standard incandescent bulbs.

How to Choose the Best Reading Lamp

Because the fundamental nature of a reading light is to aid you in reading a book or the newspaper, you will want to choose a fixture that best fits you. In this assortment, you will find reading lamps in a multitude of shapes, colors and styles, all aimed to help provide sufficient lighting when you choose to relax and catch up on a favorite piece of reading material. You will also find lamps with different light sources including halogen lamps, incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps and of course, LED. For the specific task of reading, we definitely recommend an LED reading lamp. Be sure to thoroughly review a fixture's light bulb requirements and brightness output to decide if it is the appropriate amount of light for your application. You'll also want to determine your sizing constraints before choosing the best reading lamp. Consider how far the lamp might reach, its height and how much floor space it will actually consume.

Other Considerations

The iconic Artemide Tolomeo Floor Lamp is a classic design from a company that is known for exceptional lighting design. The Tolomeo reading lamp provides the perfect amount of light when reading your favorite book and it will pack a powerful decorative punch in living rooms and home offices. And you'll find similarities in the selection of torchiere floor lamps, which offer much in the way of adding uplighting to a room while providing focused illumination for reading or task work. Finally, wall-mounted reading lights are also great options if you're looking for something more permanent and less portable.
