Lamps that make reading a pleasure

Published by Punch on Tue, 20 Dec 2011


Some come with USB, some do not need batteries. MAUREEN AZUH writes on reading lamps that make reading pleasurableReadinglamps are meant for exactly what the name says - reading. But the fact that there are many types to choose from means that one should be conversant with the features that define them.The Kindle Lighted Leather Cover lamp, for instance, incorporates a reading light into the cover. This enables the user to carry it anywhere. It is also easy to operate, as all the user needs to do is simply pull the light out to illuminate the Kindle when it is needed, and slide it out of sight when it is not needed. And since the light draws its power from the Kindle, no batteries are needed.M-Edge e-Luminator Kindle Booklight, on the other hand, is lightweight, compact and works seamlessly with most M-Edge jackets. It comes with a slim support arm stows in sewn-in jacket packet to allow for easy storage and accessibility. It is equally fully adjustable with a flexible steel neck that allows for fine-tuning light positions.According to gadgetizers.com, M-Edge e-Luminator is powered with one AAA battery that provides more than 20 hours of light without dimming. It also has an optical lens that spreads light evenly over the screen of the device as well as super bright LED lightbulb that may never need replacing. M-Edge is operated by a three-position switch, with high and low light intensity settings.For those who would rather have their light very close to their book, the Mighty Bright Black Xtraflex Booklight might come in handy. It comes with two LED lights that give the user the lighting power of six normal LEDs. An individual also has the option of using one or two of the LED lights with just a simple tap to the proprietary sensor switch. The flexible neck allows a user to position the lighting anywhere and in any position.The most outstanding feature of this reading light is its ability to clip onto almost anything with a strong grip. It can also be used as a free-standing light with a fully adjustable arm that can position and hold it in place. It is equally bendable with the head of the light that fits inside the clip making it easy for storage. As c-net reports, the battery life is over 20 hours and extra batteries are included.There is also the Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 Light. Although it does not offer a clip-on feature like the normal XtraFlex, it is a battery-operated reading light. It is also flexible and allows the user to position the lighting anywhere it is needed.Belkin Clip-On Reading Light too comes with a compact, powerful clip-on light with three super LEDs that give off a warm reading light - as bright as six regular LEDs. According to gadgetfind.com, the fully adjustable arm allows the light to be positioned in almost any angle as well as its slim design, which allows for easy storing and carrying. The lamp head is designed in such a way that it tucks into the clip, making it easily movable, while the ultra-wide clip provides a strong, secure grip.For those who are ecstatic about anything that comes with a USB, Verso Rechargeable Arc light will be an indispensable gadget. The Arc Light features a USB rechargeable battery and patent-pending cuffs designed to slide onto the users e-reader and stay in place. The lights curved arm glides up into the on position, casting bright, glare-free light without needing any adjustment.Another interesting feature of these reading lights is that they are not only suitable for e-book readers but also for ordinary hard copy books. All a user needs to do is get the one that best suits his or her needs, either online or from high-profile electronic shops.What to look for when buying reading lamps- There are many types of reading lamps and the first thing you need to consider when purchasing it, is in which room in the house it is going to be placed as according to that dcor and furniture you will be able to choose one easier. For example, if you are looking for a reading lamp for the drawing room, to place it next to the sofa set or chair, you may want to search for tall standing lamps with elegant shades in order to add to the ambiance and dcor.In the study room, if the furniture is composed of massive wood, you may want to choose a table reading lamp, with a wood or brass leg; for the office you may consider a less fancy reading lamp that is flexible and if possible made of unbreakable material as accidents happen all the time in an office with over crowded work tables.- Reading lamps are basically meant for one purpose and that is to help you see and read better but not too bright as you may face the possibility of hurting your eyes with too much glare from it; a 40 to 60 watts should do the job just great.However, if you are not using your reading lamp for reading purposes, as it happens at times especially in the bedroom where at times they are used to enhance the dcor and/or provide a night light, you can then use the power of choice for the bulb depending in its use.- The best way to shop for reading lamp is in retails stores and not online as you can see its actual size, colour, shape and material that it is made of, especially if you are purchasing it for decoration purposes. Many people shop online because they can avail some fabulous bargains. However, dont forget the shipping costs which at times turn out to be even more then the cost of the product. Besides there is always the possibility of getting damaged in shipping and handling.Source: www.lightslampsbulbs.com
