Correctly positioning your study lamp is crucial for optimal lighting during study sessions. Follow these tips for the best placement: a) Avoid glare: Angle the lamp's head downward or position it to the side to prevent direct light into your eyes and reduce discomfort and eye strain. b) Even illumination: Ensure the light is evenly distributed across your study area. Use a lamp with an adjustable neck or head to light your books or workspace uniformly. c) Left-handers vs right-handers: Place the lamp on the opposite side of your dominant hand to avoid casting shadows on your writing or reading materials. d) Distance from the work area: Position the lamp 15-18 inches from your work surface to provide sufficient illumination without causing glare or shadows.
