Choose a desk lamp by how you use it
Reading, small desks, dorms, video calls, and long workdays.
Start with what you do most
The right lamp depends on the work. Reading print needs more light than screen work. A small desk needs a lamp that saves space. A video call needs soft light in front of you.
