Many desk lamps are made from metal and look more functional than attractive. But the unusual design of this lamp, using wood with minimal iron accessories, has a warm and homey feel. The best lamps have several brightness settings. That way, you can lower the light before bed and brighten it if you need to see clearly. SizeNeutral (3100 – 4500K): As the name suggests, this is the middle of the spectrum, and serves as a sort of best of both worlds between warm and cool. Lights in this range are good for boosting productivity, so you’ll commonly see them used in offices and schools. They aren’t, however, best suited to late nights, as the temperature can prevent your body from producing melatonin (a key hormone associated with the wake/sleep cycle), thereby making it more difficult to sleep. Cool (4600 – 6500K): This white-blue hue is everywhere in our society, including monitors, TVs, tablets and smartphones. While exposure to it can make you more productive and alert, too much can also lead to eye strain, fatigue and headaches, as well as confusing your body into thinking it’s still light outside. Again, you should avoid using lights of this temperature in the evenings, as it could hinder melatonin production and affect your ability to get to sleep.
