Lighting

Problem

Tips

Corrective Action

I don't have enough task light to see documents on my worksurface in my office - I tend to bend closer to see them, they are in shadows, etc.

 

Task Lights

Task lights are a great way to add additional light where you need it.  They come in a variety of configurations and wattage. 

For example you may use a desktop lamp to provide additional light on your document holder.

You may have a bulletin board where you post information; a task light can be attached to a wall panel or other surface and be pointed at the bulletin board to provide proper illumination.

Remember that how you position the task light is important, for example don’t point it directly at your computer screen because you will create glare.  Also make sure it is not in your direct line of vision and pointed at you because this also this will create a problem.
