1. What is a reading light?
Reading light is generally referred to as a book reading light. Specifically, it’s an electric light that sheds light on your reading material; for people who want to read at night, do some reading in a darker environment, or even do some knitting, a suitable book light may come in handy.
2.What is color temperature?
Color temperature refers to a system using numerical values to measure the color characteristics of a light source on a spectrum ranging from warm to cool colors. The numerical values can be indicated as degrees Kelvin, noted by the symbol K. In layman's saying, color temperature signifies a way of describing a light source's warmth or coolness color features. The lower the color temperature, the yellower the light; the higher the color temperature, the whiter the light.
3.What is the difference between lumen and watt?
Lumen and watt measure different things for sure. Watts refers to how much energy the light bulb uses, while lumen indicates the light bulb's brightness or the light output of a light bulb. Watts do not tell you how bright the bulb is, but lumens do.
4.What is the suitable lumen for each type of book reading light?
Lumen measures the total quantity of visible light emitted by a source per unit of time. Lumens are now a new way of knowing how bright a lamp or a book reading light is. The brightness level of a book light associates closely with the lumen. You might need different book lights in various reading environments depending on your needs.
Neck Light: 60 lumens will be bright enough for the neck reading light. For instance, 60 lumens enable you to see the stitches and patterns clearly, even with brunet yarns; with 60 lumens, you can also read in bed before sleep.
Amber Book Light: As for the amber light, 20 lumens are commonly preferred. The soft and gentle amber light will stimulate your body to produce more melatonin naturally. It is widely used for reading in bed before sleep with the special amber mode.
Book Light for Kids: Children are commonly perceptive to strong lights when reading, especially using a book reading light due to some reading before sleep. Therefore, the light has to be soft, gentle, and eye-caring for kids. 15 lumens are preferable when choosing a book reading light for kids when reading before bed.
Clip-On Light: The clip-on book light requires more lumens.Because they generally have bigger sizes and heavier weights. Hence, consumers usually use clip-on book lights as fixed bed reading lamps or a reading light clipping on the bed headboard. For a well-designed clip-on book light, reaching more than 150 lumens is a common practice to light up the entire bedroom, not only for book reading.
5.What is CRI (color rendering index)?
CRI is the acronym for color rendering index, and you can usually see it when browsing some lighting bulbs and fixtures. In general terms, CRI measures a light source's ability to show object colors "realistically" or "naturally" under an artificial white light source compared with sunlight. In other words, the higher the CRI, the more attractive and vibrant your lighting objects will be .
6. Which book light is right for you?
While choosing the right book light, you would need to consider certain factors including brightness levels, the comfort of usage, portability, charging options, battery power, style, and cost.
Considering all these essential attributes, Glocusent offers some of the best neck lights for reading that are compact and easy to use, provide different brightness levels and charging options, reduce eye strain, and provide optimum comfort to the reader in low-light conditions.
