"Serious Readers"

Got a white daylight lamp from Amazon , it was about £49, has a magnifying glass that you can swivel round if you are doing very close work.

i bought a l.e.d lamp from lidl for my DF, it was only £12 and he loves it, he can read in his armchair without any shadow falling onto the page. Really was a bargain.

Had you not noticed it was missing then Shanma??
Is it your clutter I've got filling the drawers and the top too, happy to send that back

I have a daylight lamp for sewing and temari-making. MrBags got some for when he was doing oil painting in some old master tradition.

I gave got the same bureau too inherited from my parents!

Oh we were looking at those lights a week or two ago, very expensive but they do look fantastic, good to hear from someone who has actually tried one. I seem to recall that they had a good length of guarantee too. I will tell Hubby as I think he also would be able to clain the VAT back. We recently bought a revitive machine and he was able to do so on that. By the way Daphne how did MY Bureau get to be in the corner of your room?

Ah, thanks for the picture Daphne

What are these "standard reading lights" ? I didn't know there was such a thing.
My chair is next to the patio doors so I have plenty of natural light. There is also a standard lamp behind H's and my chairs.

Yes, pricey but the light is excellent . DH 's eyesight is giving him some problems and our optometrist who is also a friend recommended these lights. She also gave us a voucher to save on the VAT

Witzend have a look on Amazon.

I keep seeing a certain type of reading light advertised, and could really do with one, but they only come in black and I don't like anything black in my sitting room, certainly not at that price.
Must go hunting for another version in antique bronze or similar.

I have a standard lamp, the top is an uplighter and a halogen reading light is on a stalk that can be positioned over the shoulder. I find this light brilliant as we just have table lamps on at night rather than the big light.

I use a daylight lamp cost about £50 it is brilliant for reading, crafts, computer work etc and the bright light cheers me up on a dull day. I bought it from a National paper.

My Mum does in the winter, but her sight isn't brilliant
