How to create a productive routine when working remotely - part 9

Use a halogen desk lamp

Good lighting is as important as a comfortable chair so use a halogen lamp on your desk to create a lighted area that helps to relieve eye strain and generally make it easier to focus. Lighting designers recommend we rely on two light sources – overhead, indirect lighting to generally brighten up a room and ‘task lighting’ for a small direct light source that can be focused on the paper you’re reading or some other task at hand. Fluorescent and other options are fine for general illumination, but halogen bulbs are better for detail work, because halogen renders colours with greater clarity than other types of lighting.
