Lamps and lighting
What can lighting do to help me?
A well-placed lamp that lights your book for reading or the arts and crafts you're working on means you can see what you're doing easier. This reduces the effort it takes to enjoy these activities so you can do them more often and for longer.
Reduce strain on your eyes by placing a lamp directly behind you to shine on what you're doing. A light that is shining in your eyes can increase strain, so make sure the positioning is right for what you're doing. A tall standing lamp can be helpful here, as you can move it around to suit what you're doing.
A lamp is useful if you have low vision, experience a lack of endurance, or you have trouble concentrating.
