What can be more beautiful for the eyes than natural lighting? But, unfortunately, only in the summer it pleases us more than 12 hours a day, and for the rest of the time we have to surround ourselves with lighting devices and artificial lighting. But students in schools and students have to spend a certain part of their time in the dark at school. And the table lamp for the schoolchild to some extent becomes an integral part of his academic performance. It's not a secret that bad lighting indirectly affects diligence and bad grades in school.
Which desk lamp to choose for the schoolchild
So, let's see how to choose a school desk lamp to meet the basic hygiene requirements of students. Since vision is precisely that sense organ that we are obligated at all costs to preserve from our child. Therefore, when choosing a lamp, do not proceed from the decorative properties of the lighting device, but from hygienic standards. And what these standards tell us about:
- the light source should radiate a soft and even glow - do not allow glare and shadows;
- the main light must be switched on even if the table lamp is working;
- table lamp for schoolchild when writing should be located to the left of the student and not be more powerful than 100W.The optimal power value is the range from 60W to 100W;
- in the daytime on the windows should hang such curtains, which do not interfere with the penetration of natural light into the room;
- windows should be well washed, otherwise dirty glasses prevent light from getting into the room( according to the norms, windows need to be cleaned at least twice a year);
- prevent the penetration of light, even indoor flowers on the windowsill - take into service this moment;
- can not direct main light fluxes in front and behind the schoolboy;
- it is impossible to combine incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps in one room( here we are talking only about basic lighting).

And now let's turn directly to the question of how to choose the right lamp in the schoolchild's nursery. And start with the selection of light bulbs.
Optimum power of a reading lamp for the schoolchild
As we said above, the lamp power should not exceed 100W, this makes the comfort of the person sitting under it. If it is comfortable with the light that the lamp emits at 60W - please, let it be, and if 60W is not enough, then you need to replace this lamp with a more powerful one, for example, 75W.
Although here it is also necessary to clarify that the lamp power needs to be selected from the table dimensions. If the table is small, then a 60W bulb will be enough, but if the desk is large, then take a 100W lamp.
However, remember that a 100W incandescent lamp not only shines brightly, but it also heats up, while it can damage the lamp shade and radiate heat on the child sitting next to it, thus causing its fatigue. So, if your child began to complain of a headache, fatigue, lethargy - it's time to look at his desk lamp.
The best table lamp for a schoolboy is one that does not harm the child's health!

It can be cold white( LHB), fluorescent( LD) and warm white( LTB).For the human body, in particular a schoolboy, the best option would be lamps of warm white light( LTB), since they are closest to the natural morning or evening light. These are ordinary incandescent lamps in 60W.

- The lamp stand must be flexible - it's easy to change the angle of inclination. In this case, remember that the lamp should rise from the table by 30-45 cm. And if the child works at a computer, then the lamp should be located above the monitor.

The correct form of the plafond is the spherical( round) shape and shape of the cone. But the shape of the cylinder is absolutely not suitable for a table lamp. As for the color of the plafond, here in the leaders is the traditional green light, which favorably affects the eyes without irritating them.
