Placement & Usage Tips
Position the desk lamp on the opposite side from your dominant hand to minimize shadows while writing. The light should illuminate your work surface from a 30-degree angle to reduce glare on screens and provide even coverage across your primary task area.
💡 Pro Tip
Set your desk lamp to a cooler color temperature of around 5000K during morning work hours and gradually reduce to around 3000K in the evening. This matches the natural progression of daylight and supports your circadian rhythm, making it easier to wind down after a late work session.
