Study / home office lighting
Focused, glare-free light for work and reading
Good task light cuts eye strain. Combine a bright, even ambient layer with a dedicated desk lamp and avoid glare on screens.
How bright?
40
lumens per sq ft (range 30–50)
A typical 9 × 10 ft room needs about 3,600 lm.
What colour?
3500–5000K
Target 4000K
Quick tips
- 4000K neutral white helps concentration; 3500K is a softer compromise.
- Place the desk lamp opposite your writing hand.
- Keep lights beside, not behind, the screen to avoid reflections.
Layers
Three layers make a great room
01
Ambient light
A panel, downlights or pendant for even background light.
02
Task light
An adjustable desk lamp plus a floor lamp for a second source.
03
Accent light
A cove strip or picture light reduces screen-to-wall contrast.
