If you’re an office worker, or you work from home, then you should be focusing on having the right lighting for your workspace. If your desk lighting isn’t sufficient, you risk causing long-term damage to your eyes. Poor workspace lighting also makes it harder to concentrate on tasks and can also drain your energy levels faster.

Poole Lighting has shared our top tips on how to brighten up your workplace using desk lamps and the right room lighting. 

Use a Good Quality Desk Lamp

Invest in a quality desk lamp with features such as adjustable brightness levels and a modern design that complements your workspace. Our Idris desk lamp has a three-stage dimmer function and a stylish design. The functional Allison table lamp can be integrated in many ways into the working or living area as a reading light or used as a purely decorative feature. Or you could go for a classic design with an adjustable task lamp in a beautiful dusty green. 

Utilise Task Lighting

Task lighting focuses light on specific work areas, reducing glare and shadow. Adjustable desk lamps with flexible arms allow you to direct light exactly where it's needed. You can have enough light to do any task, whether you're reading documents, typing on a keyboard, or sketching ideas. 

Make Sure There's Enough Natural Light

If you can, position your desk near a window to maximise natural light. Natural light not only improves mood but also reduces the need for artificial lighting during daylight hours. You can save energy and create a more pleasant working environment.

A well-lit workspace is essential for maintaining productivity and focus. Proper desk lighting not only reduces eye strain but also enhances concentration.
