Buying Guides & Workspace Setup

Build a desk lighting setup that serves deep work and streaming: hit 400–500 lux with U0≥0.6, control flicker, adapt three-point lighting, verify uniformity.

Understand lumens vs lux to pick the right desk lamp, with formulas, task-based lux targets, placement tips, and guidance on CRI, CCT, and flicker.

Measure lux at the model, not the box. Use high-CRI, uniform lighting (U0 ≥ 0.6) and flicker-safe drivers to eliminate shadows and achieve true paint matches.

Boost eye comfort by cleaning lamps correctly. Get tested methods and kits for brass, fabric, glass, and wood to restore up to 30% more usable light.

Cut eye strain in tight dorms with a simple lighting framework: map your workstyle, set exact lux and CCT, fix placement, and tame glare and cable clutter.
