Lights updates

The new school year is a fresh start – not only for students but also for parents who want to create the best possible conditions for learning. One of the most overlooked – yet most important – elements that influence concentration and comfort at the desk is lighting.

So, which lamps actually support focus? What should you look for? And which models are worth considering? Let’s take a closer look.

Why does lighting matter?

Too little light strains the eyes, makes it harder to concentrate, and lowers productivity. Too much, on the other hand, causes discomfort and can even trigger headaches.

The ideal desk lamp should evenly illuminate the workspace, avoid harsh shadows, and provide light close to natural daylight.

Good lighting:

• boosts concentration and memory,
• reduces eye fatigue,
• makes reading and writing more comfortable,
• supports healthy study and work habits.

What to look for in a desk lamp?

1. Color temperature
For studying, the best range is 4000–6000K, which corresponds to neutral or cool white light. It stimulates the brain, improves focus, and makes text appear sharper.

2. Adjustable light angle
Adjustable arms or lamp heads allow you to direct the light exactly where it’s needed – a useful feature when changing positions at the desk or switching between tasks like drawing and reading.

3. Adjustable brightness (dimmer)
The ability to fine-tune brightness is practical for both daytime and evening study sessions.

4. Color rendering index (CRI ≥80–90)
The higher the CRI, the more accurately the lamp reveals true colors. This matters when reading, drawing, or working with maps and illustrations. Light with CRI ≥80 helps the eyes perceive colors naturally, reducing fatigue and improving comfort.

5. Design and ergonomics
A desk lamp should be not only functional but also compact and stylish, without taking up too much space. Choosing a model that fits the room’s décor makes the study area both practical and inviting.

The right desk lamp isn’t just a luxury – it’s an investment in better learning and healthier study habits.
