24W Craft 3-in-1 Magnifying Floor Lamp

Lighting

• Reading with a good light can be a help. The light needs a reflector so the light is angled to shine on the book, not into your eyes.
• The light needs to be positioned so there is no glare, reflection, or shadows. If the magnifier is not internally illuminated, a reading light is usually better than a central light hanging down from the ceiling. This is like reading with daylight behind you, but not very bright like sunlight.
• Generally the amount of light reflected from a viewed object is increased by 2 times when the distance from the object is halved so the nearer a light is to the object the more light is reflected.
• As a guide the light can be placed at about 20 cms/7.9 inches directly above the object to be viewed. The best position for an adjustable lamp is out in front of you and shining down directly on what you want to look at.
