Task lighting improved when LED lighting was introduced. Heat sensitive materials were no longer a problem and more energy efficient models became available. Further, adjustable heads make the reduction of glare a thing of the past.

A cordless reading lamp gives you the flexibility to perform your tasks almost anywhere. Dimmable lamps provide different levels of comfort for your eyes.

What are cordless reading lamps made of?

A cordless reading lamp can be purchased in standing floor models, desk type, wall mounted or clip on. Common materials include:

Plastic - Desk models and clip-on units come in a variety of styles, sizes and functions. Plastics work well for offering many colors, flexible arms and being lightweight. They can be shaped to fit modern decor or more subdued for contemporary and traditional styles.
Metal - Freestanding task lighting is better designed to bring aesthetic beauty to a room. Long poles that stretch above the reader can consist of brushed chrome, antique gold or modern black. Usually, with an option to raise or lower, the number of LED lights is higher than aluminum alloy desk models.

What additional features to look for in a cordless reading lamp?

In addition to being cordless, there are many other benefits that can be found on a cordless reading lamp.

Brightness Levels - Units are complete with switches that can change the amount of light by 2 or 3 levels.
Power Modes - Desktop and clip-on models offer technology ready attachments, like laptop, USB ports, phone chargers and power banks.
Lightweight - As portable as your phone, many models are small and lightweight for travel or camping.

How to position a cordless reading lamp?

As a rule of thumb, a reading lamp should be placed over your head and away from your eyes. If you have a glass top table nearby, beware of the glare that can occur. Position your lamp at a 30-degree angle, away from the glass for best results.

What are the standard measurements of cordless reading lamps?

There are different sizes of cordless reading lamps to select from. Lightweight clip-on lamps measure around 5" long and weigh a mere 2 ounces. Desk models are larger and have a platform to safe placement. With a base approximately 15", the neck can be 17" or more tall. 18 LED lights, more or less, can be found in these lamps. Floor lamps provide the widest light with 50 LED lights that stay charged for up to 10 hours. Reaching a height of nearly 6 feet, the pole is adjustable for lowering to more appropriate levels.

How to maintain a cordless reading lamp?

Batteries are rechargeable for keeping your light usable. LED lights can last up to 50,000 hours so replacement is seldom. Because LED lighting never gets hot to the touch, dusting the exterior is all that is needed. Another lighting may be available, such as CFL, incandescent or halogen, but LEDs are the most cost-effective, maintenance friendly and contain no hazardous materials to dispose of.
