Magnifier and Task Lights for Better Reading

Reading can be one of the most relaxing activities that one can indulge in, whether it’s the newspaper, a novel or just any book that you can pick up. It is one solo moment when you shut the doors to everything else in the world and just flop down with something that can bring in lots of introspection. But then, even such pensive moments are not without their share of unpleasant throw-ins, which creep up in the form of poor vision for one. Of course, there are glasses, but sometimes the size of the text can shrink to such microscopic levels that you can almost immediately feel the strain on your eyes. What can really work in such cases are magnifying lamps that can throw a whole new light to convenient reading.

Low vision can be really strenuous when you intend to indulge in some serious reading, and glasses or simple study lamps cannot relieve you from the pressure easily. What you need is a magnifier lamp that can magnify the size of the text to a highly comfortable level and throw some spectrum light for added effect. With a spring balanced arm that comes in various sizes, large dioptre distortion free crystal clear lens with dual light sources, shadow free magnification and ESD benches safe bodies, these lamps offer you the best option to say goodbye to your low vision woes and enjoy a comfortable reading experience. An edge mount ability and a five feet long power cord makes it possible for you to arrange the lamp in a convenient position.

Another viable option for some serious private study is facilitated by what we know as task lights or task lamps, although they work best for readers without low vision problems. These lamps come in fluorescent, halogen and incandescent lights to cater to varying needs of the readers. A typical fluorescent task lamp has an adjustable spring balanced arm with tension control knobs at the arm joint and comes with a mounting clamp so you can fix it wherever you want. The bulb may range from a 22W fluorescent to a 60W incandescent one. An incandescent lamp is a tad more advanced with external springs, steel construction and a powder painted spun aluminium shade and reflector. Halogen task lights are better than the previous options with a far cleaner and crisper illumination for a more comfortable reading experience. Its spring balanced arm comes with tension control knobs at arm joints and has the control switch on the head for easy access.

What is the best way to maximize the life of a halogen light bulb?

At work, we have a halogen bulb light we use for microscopes. The bulbs are expensive and difficult to find, so we want to maximize the life of the bulbs. I frequently use the light for about 15 minutes and then have to take a 1-5 minute break to prepare the next sample. My coworker wants me to turn the light of whenever I leave it for a few minutes. I argue that turning it on and off every five minutes will wear the bulb down faster than just leaving it on, and she thinks that is an "old wives tale." Who's right? How do we extend the bulb life?

Using a dimmer, and reducing the brightness when not using the bulb, is the best way.

Your co-worker is mistaken.

The resistance of a a tungsten filament is low when it is cold. The initial current at switch-on is therefore much higher than its normal running current for a few milliseconds - that's why bulbs usually fail at switch-on.
