Reading lights - for cosy hours with your favourite book

Whether it's cosy evenings with the latest novel, concentrated work on texts or relaxed browsing in your favourite corner: with flexible adjustment options, pleasant light colours and dimmable functions, our reading lights help you to create the ideal reading situation at all times - for more comfort and enjoyment of every page.

The different types of reading lights

There are different types of reading lights, each with their own advantages. When making your choice, consider your individual needs, your furnishing style and the spatial conditions - so you can find exactly the right light to optimise your reading pleasure.

Table lamps with shade

They combine classic design and functionality and create stylish accents in your home. Table lamps with shades are ideal for living rooms, bedrooms or offices and create a cosy atmosphere with their soft, glare-free light. They also serve as decorative elements that harmoniously combine lighting and aesthetics.

Table lamps with adjustable spotlights

Are you looking for a lighting solution that provides brightness exactly where you need it? These lamps provide focussed light that you can direct exactly where you need it. Whether in work areas, reading corners or as accent lighting, these lights are extremely functional and versatile. With their clear, modern design, they fit perfectly into contemporary living and working spaces and offer you both flexibility and style.

Table lamps with adjustable joints

Our lamps offer you maximum flexibility thanks to adjustable lamp heads and arms. Whether on your desk, in the workshop or in the craft room - enjoy precise lighting exactly where you need it and work efficiently and comfortably.

Free-standing luminaires

Do you want to illuminate a larger area or are you looking for a lamp for flexible use? Then free-standing lights are an excellent choice. Many models offer height-adjustable arms and dimmable functions to adjust the flow of light as required.

Wall lights

Wall lights are ideal for space-saving yet stylish lighting. Mount them directly above your reading area to create a pleasant light without cluttering the room.

Bedside reading lights

Clamp lights are the perfect choice as a bedside reading light, as you simply attach them to the head of your bed or to your bedside table. They offer you flexible, targeted lighting that can be ideally focussed on your book or screen without disturbing your partner.

Additional functions of reading lights: More comfort and flexibility for your reading experience

Reading lights offer you numerous functions that significantly increase your reading enjoyment and flexibility. These extras not only make reading more practical, but also more comfortable and customised to your needs. They offer these advantages:

1. Dimming function: dimmable reading lights let you adjust as needed to create a comfortable reading condition without straining your eyes.
2. Colour temperature control: With some reading lamps, you can control the colour temperature to your liking - for example, between warm white and cool white - to create either a relaxing or focused environment.
3. Motion sensor: With the help of automatic switch-on or switch-off when motion is detected, you can enjoy additional convenience and also save energy.
4. USB charging port: Many modern reading lights have built-in USB ports that allow you to conveniently charge your smartphone or tablet while reading.
5. Flexible gooseneck: An adjustable arm or gooseneck allows you to direct the light precisely onto your reading surface.
6. Memory function: Some of our reading lights remember your last set brightness and colour temperature so that they automatically reactivate with your preferred settings when you switch them on.
7. Cordless use (rechargeable battery): Some of our models are battery-operated, so you can use the light flexibly in different rooms or even on the move without having to rely on a power socket.
8. Touch control: Instead of a conventional switch, you can switch modern reading lamps on or off simply by touching them.

Important purchasing criteria for your reading light

When buying a reading lamp, you should consider the following key aspects to ensure that it meets your requirements:

• Light quality and intensity: a good reading lamp should shine brightly and pleasantly without dazzling. Choose a lamp with adjustable brightness and eye-friendly light in warm white (2700-3000 K) for longer reading times.
• Adjustability: With a flexible light, you can direct the light exactly where you need it. This is a particular advantage for desk or bedside reading lights.
• Energy efficiency: Choose LED lights that offer you a long service life and save energy at the same time. This way you benefit from sustainable and cost-efficient lighting.
• Design and size: Make sure that your reading lamp perfectly matches your interior style. Think about whether you prefer a classic or modern version and whether the light should remain discreetly in the background or serve as an eye-catcher.
