How to choose reading lamps

Decide whether the lamp will attach to a suitable edge, illuminate a desk area or rest around your neck. For clip-on lamps, check the clamp dimensions against the intended mounting surface. A flexible holder is useful when the light needs repositioning. For USB-powered models, compare the stated power requirements and wattage. Consider a magnifying lamp when viewing small text or details is part of the task.

  • Clip-on reading lights: These attach to a suitable edge. The attachment point determines the light's position relative to the open book.
  • Clip-on desk lamps: These provide lighting over a desk area. Consider access to the desk edge and the space available for the lamp holder.
  • Double LED lights: These have two lighting sections. Flexible versions allow the sections to be positioned around the reading area.
  • Neck reading lights: These rest around the reader's neck, leaving hands free to hold a book. Their position follows the reader rather than a desk attachment.
  • Magnifying desk lamps: Activeshop offers a lamp combining LED lighting with a magnifying lens. This format suits examining small print and fine details.

For desk reading, compare clip-on desk lamps and their mounting arrangements. For reading in an armchair, consider a neck light. For close inspection of small details, consider a magnifying desk lamp.
