Tips on picking the best LED light source for reading
As children, we were always told not to read in the dark because it would harm our eyesight. As we grew older, many of us realized that good lighting provides more pleasure and comfort when reading. When choosing the right LED light source for reading, certain parameters must be properly addressed. Let’s look at how to best protect our eyesight.
Optimal light output while reading
The power of light can never be overestimated. Many people may be surprised that human vision can be harmed not only by reading in dim light as too much light will also be disadvantageous.
Experts believe that the optimal power for a traditional light bulb is 40 W. In the case of LED technology, the scale expressed in lumens is most commonly used. A 40W LED bulb that shines in the same way as a traditional bulb has a power of 400-450 lumens. Surprisingly, its power measured in watts is only 5.
Color of the light
The color temperature is an extremely important factor to consider when looking for the best light source for reading. When light is warm or cold, the human brain reacts very differently. Importantly, this will help with proper concentration when reading books.
Warm light, according to scientists, helps us relax. So, while relaxing with a good book, the light temperature should not exceed 3500K. It will be different when we want to remember the content better, for example, while learning. Then neutral and cold colors are preferable.However, anything exceeding 6500 K would strain our eyes.
Adjusting the light while reading
When looking for a suitable lamp, it is worth paying attention to extra features that allow for better light adjustment to specific needs, such as reading. It is worthwhile if the device has a dimmer. We should be able to adjust the color temperature using the knob or buttons.
The ergonomic design, which allows us to adjust the height and inclination to our preferences, is also important. The more joints and adjustable arms, the easier it makes to position the lamp to properly illuminate the text while reading.
