Professional kids desk lamp fitting - positioned correctly for homework without eye strain, with cables managed safely. The right light in the right place.
Light For Learning
Proper desk lighting matters for homework - wrong position means shadows on the page and eye strain. A well-positioned lamp makes reading and writing easier and more comfortable.
💡 Pro tip: The lamp should shine from the opposite side to the writing hand. Right-hander? Lamp on the left. This keeps shadows off the work.

📐 Getting it right

- Secure cables flat to desk/wall
- Keep cable away from pulling hands
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Lamp on wrong side
- Cables left dangling
- Light shining in child's eyes
- Too far from work surface
💡 Pro trick: LED lamps run cool and use less power. Better choice for children's desks than hot halogen bulbs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of desk lamps can you fit?
Clip-on lamps, desk-mounted lamps, wall-mounted reading lights - whatever you've bought, we'll position it properly for good homework lighting.
Where should a desk lamp go?
On the opposite side to the writing hand - so left side for right-handers, right side for left-handers. This prevents shadow from the hand falling on the work.
Is this worth a callout on its own?
On its own, probably try it yourself. But if we're doing other work in the room, it's easy to add. The real value is getting the position right for good ergonomics.
What about cable management?
We'll route the cable safely so it's not dangling where little hands can pull it. Cable clips or trunking if needed.
