Guidelines
Reading Lamps
Brighter and strategically placed lighting will make a world of difference to people with visual impairments.
- Magnifying lamps are useful in situations where not only a clear light, in terms of vision and enhanced clarity is essential, but also the ability to view finer details is a necessity.
- Task lamps are ideal for a variety of general and specialised tasks that require a functional light source as they can be aimed directly at what needs to be illuminated. The range of task lights includes conventional spring arm lamps and various clamp or clip-on models as well as table based versions.
- Day-light replicating lamps allow for a superior clarity without the intense heat, excessive glare and harsh distortion of standard lighting.

Workstation Lamps
Picture
These lights utilize a specular parabolic louver to direct light downward and prevent glare and light "spill". By providing light in this manner, the fixture eliminates the direct glare – seeing the bright bulb when the lamp head reaches eye level – associated with the asymmetric method of lighting. Their sleek design allows them to be manouvered easily around the desktop while the 18-Watt compact fluorescent lamp (included) produces light output comparable to a 75-Watt incandescent, but without the heat. Standard models feature the contemporary "floating arm" with reaches of 30" and 44". Special models include the 30" horizontal swing arm lamp and 10" model mounted on a magnet base.
