People who spend a lot of time at their desks, studying, have to be very careful when they choose their lamp. Improper lighting conditions can be very harsh on your eyesight.
So you can easily end up ruining your eyes, if you ignore advice from professionals to buy the best light for studying you can find.
This is one of the best investments you could possibly make in your health, so you should think twice before going for the cheapest source of lighting.
The best light for studying should be one that provides you enough light to see without putting a strain on your eyes.
The light should be powerful, yet not focused directly on you. This means the lamp should be adjustable in height, in order to allow you to place it the right distance from your desk.
The MEIKEE LED Camping Lantern is a rechargeable outdoor light for camping and other places without mains power. The LED output runs from a rechargeable battery, charged at home.
The product information is short. What the maker confirms is the LED source, the rechargeable format, the outdoor purpose and a waterproof build. Brightness and run time are not published.
It suits campers, walkers and anyone who needs a dependable general light in a tent, a van or a garden after dark, where a phone screen leaves too little.
What I like
Rechargeable is the practical part: you charge it at home and take it out, rather than carrying spare batteries or hunting for a socket in the dark. A waterproof build suits wet weather.
What I don’t like
The published details are thin, so brightness and run time are unknown before you buy. It is a lantern rather than a directional task lamp, so it lights an area instead of a page.
Pros:
- Rechargeable, no spare batteries
- LED light source
- Waterproof build
- Made for camping and outdoor use
- General light for tents and gardens
Cons:
- No brightness or run time figures
- Spreads light instead of directing it
Cons:

LED lamps are also more expensive than halogen or incandescent ones. However, if you intend to use your lamp for many hours a day, you should consider investing in a LED one, as it will be less expensive to use than the other versions.
You shouldn’t underestimate the power consumption of such a lamp, as it can add up to fairly high amounts. Besides, LED lamps run cool to the touch. This makes them a very good choice for homes with children or pets.
Moreover, if you hate getting hot while studying, you’re going to be happy to have your LED lamp on for most of the time. This would also help you avoid burning yourself by accident.
If you’ve ever touched a hot incandescent lamp, you probably know how much it can hurt and what kind of burns you can get. LED is a much safer alternative, so you should consider it as one of your best possible options.
Taking also into consideration their reduced power consumption, we can easily see why LED lamps have become so popular lately.
Moreover, LED lamps may last up to 30 years, why classic halogen bulbs may need to be replaced every year. This is another important saving you can make by choosing your table lamp the smart way.
You may have to spend some time reading about the different types of table lamps and their features, but you’ll have the chance to make an informed choice that would enable you to save money and to preserve the health of your eyes.
If you study a lot, investing in a good lamp is going to pay off sooner rather than later. You can’t put strain on your eyes for 4-5 hours every day and hope they are going to serve you well for 50-60 years.
A quality desk lamp with a controlled beam of light may be better for older people, but not necessarily a must for younger ones. In addition, you should consider the type of work you have to do at your desk and the setting of your workspace.
all these are going to have a direct influence on the type of lighting you need. Some lamp manufacturers have gone as far as to develop special versions for the aging eye, featuring matte glass diffusers and reflectors that help reducing glare.
