Daylight Bulb and Magnifying Lense Floor Lamp

Yes, Floor Lamps Make Great Reading Lights

Floor lamps are a great solution when a reading light is needed. If you want to minimize the amount of furniture in a room then a floor lamp can provide the same ideal task light while taking up less space than a table lamp and table. Diffused light, coming from the side or over the shoulder, provides the best reading light. The bottom of the lamp shade should be at eye level when seated and be wide enough that the bulb is shaded whether you are seated or standing. It is important to have proper reading light so that you do not strain your eyes through prolonged reading sessions. By taking the time to insure that your favorite reading spot is properly illuminated you will insure the health and well-being of your eyesight for years to come.
