💡 Pro tip: LED daylight bulbs are best for reading. Bright, natural light that doesn't flicker or get hot. Easier on aging eyes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of reading light?
Table lamps, clip-on lights, wall-mounted, floor standing - whatever works for your reading spot. We position it for best light on your book or paper.
Where do you install them?
By your reading chair, bedside, at a desk - wherever you read. We make sure the light falls on your reading material, not in your eyes.
Do you supply the light?
We can help source one, or install a light you've bought. LED lights are best - bright without heat, long-lasting bulbs.
What about the plug?
If there's no socket nearby, we can add extension leads neatly or position the light to reach existing sockets. No trailing wires across walkways.
