Choosing a source of artificial light in a nursery always requires a responsible approach. Properly selected lighting of the working area helps the student to learn, while maintaining:

• health;
• performance;
• positive attitude;
• attentiveness.

Why is the light source so important?

1. The load on the eyes of a student increases with each academic year. Modern high-quality table lamps reduce eye strain.

2. Any equipment in the children's room should be safe. Lighting fixtures come first. The task of parents is to find a reliable copy that can work for many years, guaranteed not to harm the child.

3. Ergonomic characteristics of the lamp also need to be taken into account. No one wants to pay huge bills for lighting or constantly change burnt out light bulbs.

4. The appearance of the lighting device in the nursery should correspond to the general style of the room, although this is not its main function.

Choosing a modern model

Currently, there are four types of light bulbs that are used in indoor lighting:

• incandescent;
• LED;
• luminescent;
• halogen.

Each has individual characteristics, pluses and minuses.

It is important to know that for the children's work area least of all fit incandescent and fluorescent lamps. They can be dangerous to use as the former get hot while working and the latter contain mercury. It is best to opt for LED, which have more advantages than disadvantages:

• emit even light
• keep a low temperature during operation;
• contribute to the correct perception of the color of surrounding objects;
• safe.

The optimal power is 8 W, the color temperature should be about 3000 K.

The lighting of the student's table should be "warm", this characteristic must be indicated on the packaging of the lamp, and you need to pay attention to it when buying.

Choosing a ceiling

It is important to choose the right source of artificial light, but the ceiling above it is also of great importance. What should you pay attention to when choosing it? Reliable eye protection from direct light flow, as well as its uniform distribution over the surface of the table- these are the most important tasks, which are ideally handled by cone-shaped ceiling lamps that completely hide the light bulb.

Also suitable are hemispherical.

And trapezoid.

Color, design, material are not essential, although doctors and educators consider all shades of green to be the best choice. The absence of any decorative elements on the lamp is also desirable.

These characteristics contribute to a better emotional state of the child during classes, help him to concentrate, work productively, without overstrain. These rules are especially important to observe with first-graders, elementary school students: they get tired faster, their ability for long-term concentration is still rather weak. Extra decorations (bright pendants, a ceiling or a stand in the form of funny characters, too bright colors) in the work area will only interfere.

Older students can afford small decorative additions to a simple lamp.

Types of structures

The range of models of table lamps is quite wide. How to find among them the one that will be perfect? The best option is on a movable tripod.

They are the easiest to use, they are perfectly fixed in a given position. A slightly simpler option is a table lamp on a flexible tripod.

It is not universal, but quite practical. The least successful choice is a lamp whose lamp is fixedly fixed on the base.

Another important characteristic of a desktop lighting fixture is its stability. It is best to use models with a secure mount (clamp). A heavy base can also help out, it creates a certain stability, but this design is less safe for the child.

A reasonable compromise is a stable floor lamp with the ability to mix the ceiling.

Models for the first grader

Parents of future schoolchildren are faced with the task of equipping a student's full-fledged workplace at home for the first time. All the features of desktop light sources described above should be taken into account from the very first days of classes. The right habits are formed gradually, it is better to immediately accustom the child to ideal artificial lighting.

Say a firm “no” to the desire to please your child by “sweetening” his difficult school days with cheerful light bulbs that look more like a toy or a gadget. Glowing globes, Mickey Mouse, funny ducklings, laser swords should be a thing of the past. Such lamps are suitable only as nightlights, they perfectly decorate the nursery, but they will not be able to help your son or daughter work on tasks and exercises. The student works at the table, it is important to learn this rule from the very first homework.

7 important nuances

1. The table lamp is always located on the “non-working” side, that is, opposite the child’s leading hand. Left for righties and right for lefties.

2. The more "mobile" model you choose, the more convenient it will be for the child to deal with. It is better to purchase a lamp with a bending “leg”, a rotating shade, a long cord. All these characteristics allow you to create the most comfortable environment during classes.

3. The outer coating of the lamp should be matte - it is devoid of glare. This option is much more practical glossy.

4. Lighting directly above the table or placing a sconce is a solution with controversial pluses, it is better to exclude this type of lighting fixtures. They can only be used as additional light sources.

5. Light should fall evenly on all parts of the table. If it is too large, then it is better to install two lamps on opposite sides.

6. Even if the child's workplace is equipped right at the window, high-quality artificial lighting should still be organized. Natural light is ideal, but not always enough. In the cold season, there is so little sun that you cannot do without additional sources of lighting.

7. Do not consult with the child about the model of the lamp, which he himself would like to receive. Make this choice yourself, taking into account all the technical and ergonomic characteristics of a particular model. Only in this case, it will become an indispensable assistant to the child throughout the school path.

When choosing a lamp for desktop use, the most important thing is to evaluate how it will help to maintain the hygiene of children's vision. The safety and ergonomics of the device are also important. The overall design and decorative elements are a secondary matter, especially when it comes to a table lamp for a student.

What should be the ceiling

The shape and color of the ceiling of a table lamp for a student should be such that:

• The child did not experience discomfort from blinding light.
• Bright design did not distract the student from working on homework.
• The emitted luminous flux was evenly distributed over the surface of the working area.

All three conditions are met by ceiling lamps in the form of a cone or trapezoid, muted color shades, completely hiding the light bulb.

Ophthalmologists call green the best color for visual perception. It helps to relax the ciliary muscle of the eye, which has a positive effect on the well-being of the child. But shades of all shades of red and orange are undesirable for a children's table lamp: these colors excite the nervous system and interfere with concentration.

How to choose the type of lamp for a table lamp

Incandescent lamps today are considered "archaic". Ophthalmologists and teachers do not recommend using them to illuminate children's work areas. They flicker and get very hot during operation. The first is harmful to the eyes and general health, the second creates a risk of burns when accidentally touching hot glass. But it is worth noting that incandescent lamps have a color rendering index (CRI) of at least 90%.

CFL (compact fluorescent lamps) also not the best choice for a children's table lamp. They contain mercury, so if broken, the child risks being poisoned by dangerous metal fumes. Moreover, ripple factor CFL is also high, as a result of which the student quickly gets tired when doing homework. And the color rendering index (CRI) of CFLs is usually no more than 70-80%.

Experts recognized the safest and most effective light-emitting diode (LED) table lamps for schoolchildren. These lamps, subject to their quality workmanship:

• do not pulsate;
• do not burst;
• have a good color rendering coefficient of more than 80%, which allows you to transfer all shades of illuminated objects;
• emit light that is pleasing to the eye.

If a child accidentally touches a working LED lamp, he will not even pull his hand back, since the heating temperature of such a device is minimal.

What power should be a light bulb in a table lamp

Ophthalmologists recommend screwing only 60 W incandescent lamps into table lamps for schoolchildren. They evenly illuminate the surface and do not dazzle. The LED lamp, of course, should be less powerful: 8 watts is enough to create the same lighting conditions. But different lamps with the same power can emit different amounts of light, sometimes by 30-40%.

It is better to focus not on this approximate indicator, but on the actual illumination of the table with a lamp, which is easy to check using a light meter-brightness meter-pulse meter RADEX LUPIN. The illumination of the children's working area should be at least 300-500 lux. The same measuring device will show ripple factor light, the maximum allowable value of which is 10%, when working with a computer - 5%.

How to decide on the shade of the glow of the lamp

The color of the lighting also affects the comfort of using a table lamp, this is especially important for a student. The same ophthalmologists unequivocally recommend warm white light for children's rooms and warn of the dangers of "cold" lighting with a bluish tint for the child's retina.

Information about the color of the glow of the LED lamp is on the package. There you will also find the exact value of the color temperature, measured in Kelvin. The higher it is, the more unnatural the artificial light will seem. Ideal values ​​are 2700-3000 K.

What else to look for when choosing a table lamp

When buying, it is also important to determine the design features of the lamp. To illuminate the student's work area, you can not use table lamps on a rigid short tripod. Popular fixtures with a flexible bending “leg” of medium height are much better. But the most ergonomic are devices on a long tripod, the angle of which can be adjusted. Such lamps are easily fixed in the optimal position for drawing, writing, creative work.

Another important property of a table lamp for a student is stability. The base must be heavy enough or screwed to the table, then the device will not fall and create a traumatic situation for the child. Also pay attention to what texture the surface of the base of the lamp has. The gloss will glare, so for schoolchildren, choose lamps with a matte base.

Recently, table lamps with maintenance-free light-emitting elements have begun to appear on sale. In low-quality samples of such lamps, a diffuser is installed which cannot create a uniform luminous flux. It looks like bright dots on the diffuser panel. In a high-quality table lamp, this should not be the case.

Questions for children:

1. Why do people feel bad without electric light?

2. Do you think there have always been light bulbs?

(children's answers)
Educator: A long time ago, people lived in caves, lit a fire on which
cooking and warming up. From the fire in the cave it was light and warm.
(See illustration.)

Many, many years have passed, people began to live in houses.
The fire had to be hidden in a stone and brick oven.
Why? (Answers of children).

In the evenings, to make it light, they lit a torch.
What is a ray? (Answers of children).
A splint is a dry, thin and long sliver. (See illustration).
(Experiment): light a sliver and invite the children to answer the questions:

1. How long did the torch last?

2. Was it convenient for people?

Yes, it was not very convenient, and people came up with a candle. (Perform the same experiment with a candle), put a glass or saucer under the flame, see dig and draw a conclusion with the children.
Now candles are lit on New Year trees, on holidays. And a hundred, two hundred years ago, candles burned in palaces, on the streets, in houses, theaters. When many candles were burning in the room, it became hot and stuffy. Over time, people invented the kerosene lamp.
(See illustration), you can show a real kerosene lamp and talk about its work. With such a lamp it was possible to go out in the rain, and in the snow, and in the wind.
The houses are light, but the street is dark-dark. This is how people invented street lights.
Pipes brought gas to the lanterns, in the evening a man lit each lantern, climbing a ladder. It was inconvenient. (See illustration).
Guess the riddle - “the light in the glass is sealed, as its owner lit it”
(Answers of children).
Of course, it's an electric light bulb. It was invented by Russian engineer Alexander Lodygin. The light bulb is very convenient, why do you think?
(Answers of children).

1. Yes, it shines brightly, click - lit up, click - went out. No smell, no smoke.

2. Guys, where do people use an electric light bulb now. (Review of illustrations, conclusions of children.)

The course of the game complex

teacher (B). Guys, listen... Is someone crying?

Fits in a closed box. The teacher looks into the box.

Guess what I saw in this box:

The sun shone brightly

But when it left

We immediately felt sad

Very gloomy and dark.

Only I do not lose heart -

And I turn on the light.

The sun lives in a vase

The vase pours wonderful light!

Here it is, magical

The sun is electric!

Who can help us answer

What kind of vase shines for us?

Children. This is a lamp! (Children find a light bulb model in the box).

V. Light bulb, why are you here? Why are you crying? Guys, what do you think could happen to this light bulb? (She was lost, she was forgotten, she was left alone, etc.)

Let's ask her ourselves.

Bulb. Oh, I'm unhappy ... Everyone forgot me, abandoned me, left me .... I lived in a house with a large and friendly family: the girl Anya, the boy Vanya, their mother and father, grandparents. But they really offended me...

The girl Anya went to kindergarten and was a terrible coward.

V. Children, what do you think, why could the light bulb be offended by the girl Anya? (The girl Anya was afraid of the dark, did not turn off the light in the room even during the day).

Guys, are any of you afraid of the dark? What can be scary in the dark? (You can fall, hit, get hurt; you can be afraid of an unfamiliar object, etc.)

Let's try to imagine ourselves in the place of this girl, let's play the dark room game.

Target: develop the ability to recognize familiar objects in a darkened room; stimulate the development of visual and tactile perception, develop the ability to correlate a schematic image with an object.

Game actions: recognize an object by touch and name it.

V. Sometimes there is an accident at a power plant, a power line break. People in houses have to do something in the dark. For example, find a candle, matches. Have you ever tried to turn off the lights in the whole house in the evening? What did you feel? what does a person do in such a case?

Children. It immediately becomes dark, uncomfortable and even a little scary. You have to walk with your hand outstretched in front of you so as not to stumble on the furniture, as if you were blind! Even when your eyes get used to the darkness, you cannot find your favorite toy, read, draw, stumble where you would never stumble during the day... I want to turn on the light as soon as possible.

V. Imagine that you are in a dark room. This box for your hands is a big dark room. There are various items there.

Each of you gets a card that shows one of the items. You need to find the same object in this “dark room” by touch.

V. Guys, I see you are not afraid of the dark at all! Well done. What can we advise the girl so that the Light Bulb does not take offense? (Turn on the light only when necessary).

Bulb. Well, guys, is it convenient to play, read, work without light? You understand what an electric lamp is for! (It is needed in order to give light wherever a person is - at home, on the street, in transport and other places).

Ancient people lived in caves and did without electric light. How did they light up their home? (Bonfire). Do you know my ancestors - how did people illuminate their homes at different times?

V. Guys, let's tell the light bulb its story!

Word game "The story of the light bulb"

Target: to consolidate children's ideas about the history of the appearance of an electric light bulb; stimulate the development of coherent speech.

Game actions: pick up cards in accordance with the appearance of an object in people's lives, make a chain and talk about the object.

Material: pictures for the game "The story of the light bulb."

Educator. How was human housing illuminated before the advent of electric light? Recall your stories about the history of the light bulb that you composed with your parents.

Sample children's stories:

The child puts the first picture “sun”: “Before a person learned to use fire, the only thing for him was the sun. But when night fell, people were threatened by wild animals that saw well in the dark and could attack a person. If the night caught people in the forest, they could get lost and not find their way home.

The second picture is “bonfire”: “When a person learned to make fire and keep it, the fire became for a person both light and warmth in a cave. It burned in the cave, giving both light and heat, and served as protection against predators.”

The third picture is a “torch”: “Then people illuminated their dwellings with torches. This is the most common sliver, only pointed at the end. Usually a torch was made of birch: this tree burns better than others. One end of the torch was fixed, and the other was lit. There is little light from the torch, it quickly burns out and smokes a lot, it had to be changed often, to make sure that there was no fire.

Picture “candle”: “From beeswax, people learned to make candles that burned longer than a torch. Inside the candle there is a wick made of thread. This very convenient invention is used and today they are often used as New Year's gifts.

What do you think is the disadvantage of a candle?

Children. You can burn yourself with it, there can be a fire from it, it smokes, it gives little light.

Picture "kerosene lamp": "Gradually, people learned how to extract various minerals: coal and oil. Then kerosene lamps appeared, in which you can make the flame stronger or smaller at the request of the owner. It was economical and convenient. Behind the glass flask, the flame became safe.

Was the kerosene lamp convenient? Why?

Children. The kerosene lamp did not light the room well; kerosene had to be constantly poured into it. If someone accidentally knocked over the lamp, the kerosene spilled and a fire broke out.

Picture "electric light bulb": "When a person learned about electricity, he invented an electric light bulb. She still illuminates our apartments and streets. Now in our homes there are many different beautiful lamps - which ones do you know? (Chandeliers, sconces, table lamps, floor lamps).

Bulb. Thanks guys, I'm so glad to hear from you! You seem to know a lot about me...

V. What made you sad again?

Bulb. Many people know about electricity, about my history, but ... they do not feel sorry for me, they do not know how to use it correctly. For example, the boy Vanya had a lot of battery-powered toys. But he broke them all...

V. Why could the light bulb be offended by the boy Vanya? (When his parents did not see him, Vanya twisted all the light bulbs out of toys). Guys, why can't you do this? (A toy deteriorates, a light bulb can deteriorate, break, this action is dangerous for children, etc.).

Where else can we find a light bulb?

The game "Where does the light bulb live?"

Target: to consolidate children's ideas about electrical appliances, to stimulate the development of coherent speech.

Game actions: choose pictures depicting objects that have a light bulb, indicate its place on the object using a small symbol, explain its purpose.

Material: pictures depicting various objects; red cardboard circle.

Game progress

V. Find in the pictures only those objects that can contain an electric light bulb. Mark this picture with a red circle. Explain why this item needs an electric light bulb.

Pictures: refrigerator, table, TV, bookshelf, vacuum cleaner, fur coat, telephone, vase, stove, book, iron, carpet, battery toys, flashlight, computer, audio tape recorder, radio, record player, alarm device, mixer, etc.

V. A light bulb is a necessary element of any electrical appliance.

Bulb. Mom in this family works all day at work, but what else does she have to do at home? (Washes, cooks, cleans, sews, etc.)

V. Why could Light Bulb be offended by Anya and Vanya's mother? (Included at the same time electrical appliances)

Bulb. Guys, what do you think, is it always necessary to use an electrical appliance in everyday life? Can mechanical devices be used? Why?

V. Dear Light Bulb, we will now play with the guys in the game "Find the right objects", in which you can also participate!

Game "Find the matching items"

Target: to consolidate children's ideas about how to act with various electrical devices, to stimulate the development of mental logical operations, coherent speech.

Game actions: the “Good” command names the positive aspects of using a particular household appliance. The "Bad" team finds negative points in using the same device.

Material: pictures depicting a variety of household appliances and similar household items.

V. Choose from a set of pictures a pair of objects that match each other in action. For example, an electric mixer, a mechanical mixer, a whisk.

Refrigerator - pantry, cellar;

Electric kettle - an ordinary kettle;

Washing machine - washboard and basin with water;

Dishwasher - kitchen sink;

Toaster - frying pan - brazier for a fire, etc.

V. Now you understand how important a light bulb is in our life? Without it, the whole world would become dark and gloomy. In order for our world to be illuminated by electricity, we must treat it carefully, economically, be attentive, turn off the lights and electrical appliances in time so as not to waste electricity.

Bulb. The father in this family does not like to fix household electrical appliances. There were a lot of them in the pantry.

V. Guys, can we help him “fix” all the appliances?

The game "Lay out of the sticks»

Target: Exercise children in independent searches for ways to draw up figures based on preliminary reflection on the course of the decision.

Game actions: make the contour of an object from counting sticks in accordance with the proposed silhouette, make assumptions about the transformation of the figure.

Material: sets of counting sticks.

Game progress

V. Look at the picture - what does it look like? (This is a lamp). The father of these children cannot repair this lamp in any way. Help him arrange the elements of the counting sticks correctly. (Perform together).

Now each of you can choose your favorite lamp.

Shows silhouettes of different types of lamps:

Name them.

Children. Floor lamp, wall lamp, chandelier, table lamp, lantern, etc.

V. Each of you has chosen one of these silhouettes. Decide first what geometric shapes it consists of? then independently lay out the same lamp from counting sticks.

Bulb. Well done boys! What different and beautiful lamps you got! Among them there are also new - economical light bulbs. But grandparents Anya and Vanya do not change old incandescent bulbs for new energy-saving ones.

V. Guys, why do you think? Remember how we explored the differences between an ordinary incandescent lamp and an energy-saving lamp in the project. Let's try to convince the guys' grandparents of the need to replace old light bulbs.

Game "Finish the sentence"

Target: to consolidate children's ideas about ways to save electricity; stimulate the development of logical thinking, coherent speech.

Game actions: come up with a variety of answers to the question asked, complete the sentence started by the teacher.

Material: envelope, cards with questions, unfinished sentences.

Game progress

V. I have an envelope from my grandparents with questions.

The new energy-saving light bulb is better because... (Lights longer than a conventional incandescent bulb, saves electricity, less negative impact on the environment, etc.)

Mom and Dad replaced old light bulbs with energy-saving ones because……...

Turn off the lights when you leave the room because...

Save energy because...

You can not turn on many electrical appliances at the same time, because ...

If you do not turn off the light day and night, then ...

If all the lights in the house suddenly went out, then ...

The lights on the street stopped shining, so ... etc.

Bulb. You guys are great!

Educator. Guys, we can give this family our memos on how to handle electrical appliances, how to save electricity, which you made together with your parents: “When leaving, turn off the light!”, “Save electricity!”, “Make the right choice!”, “Do not light empty rooms!”, “Do not turn on many electrical appliances at the same time!” and etc.

Choosing a table lamp for a student is a very serious matter. And irreparable mistakes here can adversely affect the health of your child.

The emphasis should first of all be placed not on design and functionality, but on the safety of such a light source.

A good lamp can be selected according to three main components:

• type of light bulb and its characteristics

• tripod and ceiling

• fasteners and location on the table

If the model you like passes through these parameters, then you already pay attention to other useful features and attributes - USB ports for charging gadgets, alarm clocks, etc.

At the same time, do not confuse an interior table lamp and a lamp for a student.

These are completely different products that perform different tasks.

Type of paw inside the lamp

To date, the stores offer a very rich selection of table lamps, both with simple incandescent bulbs and with LEDs.

Classical luminescent energy-saving lamps, one might say, have outlived their time.

Yes, and engage in demercurization of the premises, in case such a light bulb breaks, hunting is far from everyone.

Poisonous mercury fumes in the children's room, this is not exactly what parents want for their children.

Therefore, discard such bulbs immediately.

Ripple factor

Among other types, you need to choose those models that do not flicker. Even an ordinary Ilyich's light bulb provokes a very heavy load on the eyes.

It's one thing when such light sources hang from the ceiling. And it is quite different when they are located a few centimeters from your child.

Visually, you will not notice such a flicker of light. To check this effect right in the store, just look at the switched on lamp through the smartphone camera.

Such a simple and uncomplicated experiment will allow you to avoid mistakes when buying.

From a high-quality lamp, there will be no stripes on the screen, only one bright spot. What can not be said about cheap copies.

For example, for 60-100 watt incandescent lamps, the ripple factor reaches 14%. And sanitary standards in a residential area recommend no more than 10%.

And here the dependence is inverse. The greater the power of the lamp, the less its pulsation. But unfortunately, 150W or 200W heaters are almost impossible to buy.

And they just did fit best into the standard - 5-7%.

Therefore, from a medical point of view, look not at the savings in watts or the design of the lamp, but at what effect it has on the eyes during prolonged use.

Also, don't forget about safety. What happens if you have a power surge in your house and it hits a heated incandescent light bulb?

The explosion and destruction of glass in this case is not such a rare occurrence. But it's one thing when this happens inside a chandelier or sconce.

And it is quite another when this happens in the face of a child doing homework.

From this point of view, simple light bulbs in table lamps are no good.

Also, keep in mind that they can burn you. Yes, and they heat the body of the ceiling lamps, be healthy, at least fry the sausage.

So it turns out that the only acceptable option for today for table lamps is LED Led models.

Power

What power to choose them? Initially, ophthalmologists developed recommendations for conventional incandescent paws.

Their power should not exceed 60W.

Why exactly so many? With a higher power than 60W, the incident light is very well reflected from the white paper of notebooks, books, albums.

The child has discomfort. I want to move the notebook away or lift the lamp higher. As a result, vision is strained.

The optimal height of the light source to the table surface is 35cm.

And if there is a computer on the table, then the lamp should rise above it, and not be located on the side. Otherwise, glare cannot be avoided.

1 of 3

Do not even take into account cute and funny carapules.

But we agreed that it is not advisable to use sources in the form of incandescent bulbs. How to transfer these estimated 60W to LED models?

There are tables of correspondence of different types of lamps in relation to conventional ones. Take advantage of them.

According to these tables, LED models with a power of 6-8W will be enough for a student's desktop.

However, not all LED lights are “equally useful”. The difference in lighting efficiency at the same power can reach almost 40%.

Therefore, here they are guided primarily by such a parameter as the illumination of the working area. What it is, how it is calculated, how not to confuse lux with lumens, and what it all “eats” with, read in detail in the article below.

If the budget allows, then the ideal option would be brands with adjustable brightness and a built-in dimmer.

With the same lamp, it will be comfortable to work both with books and notebooks, and at the computer. When working with paper products, turn down the power, and when you go to the monitor, add it.

If the model is not dimmable, then when buying in a store, take a blank sheet of A4 white paper with you. And put it under the turned on lamp.

If you will not be blinded, you can safely buy such a lamp and a light bulb for it.

Glow color

Another not unimportant parameter is the color of the glow. In the working areas of offices or offices, a cold shade is preferable.

It is said to improve concentration and productivity tremendously.

However, a warm shade is safer for a child's retina.

This glow corresponds to temperatures from 2700K to 3200K.

Temperature data can always be found either on the light bulb box or on its body.

Always pay attention to color. Sometimes he can present unpleasant surprises.

The device and design of the tripod and ceiling

It is very important that the tripod is movable. Could be folded, change the angle, the direction of the glow.

And all this without moving the very base of the table lamp. That is, they put it in one place on the table, and with a movable leg you control where and how to direct the flow of light.

Models with a long tripod should be preferred. Most importantly, to maintain vision, choose the right angle of inclination so that the light does not hit your eyes.

And the more positions you have in which you can fix the table lamp, the better. Because believe me, writing requires one tripod position, while drawing requires another.

The head itself or the ceiling should also bend and spin.

Wherein don't choose models:

• whose plafonds have a bright coloring

They will distract attention and play the role of an irritant to the eyes. The best color is neutral (black, white) or dark green.

• with not deep ceilings

If we are not talking about flat LED options, but about cone shades where pear-shaped bulbs are hidden, then the bulb itself should not be allowed to peek over the edges.

It must always be completely recessed inside the housing.

• with a diffuser in the form of separate large dots on the panel

There are more and more desktop options with non-removable and non-replaceable LED panels. But if some of them are able to give an even luminous flux, then here are the others, they shine, as it were, with separate bright points.

Also count the number of LEDs in these sockets. The recommended number is at least 12 pieces.

Although everything may depend on their power. However, with a larger amount, the light will be more uniform.

• made of heat-resistant material

Although the LEDs do not heat up, do not forget that this is still an electric device. And no matter how expensive the model is, closures are still theoretically possible.

Mounting and location

An important safety factor is how the table lamp is attached or stands on the desktop.
