<p>Hi! Looking for some products and ideas to light up a largish room sufficiently to work at night. No other light in the room. </p>
<p>Is LED better in this sense - will it be bright enough?</p>
<p>This is for a home office, thanks.</p>
<p>I don’t really know much about LED lamps, but that won’t stop me from pontificating (see below).</p>
<p>My son has this: [BASISK</a> Floor uplight - nickel plated black/white - IKEA](<a href=“Products - IKEA”>Products - IKEA) Because it lights the ceiling as well as providing downward light it gives pretty even light in the room which I like. He just has one lamp in a pretty decent sized living room.</p>
<p>If you need to read as well as use a computer you might like something like this: [url=<a href=“Products - IKEA”>Products - IKEA]J</a></p>
<p>There is a cheap (very) one at Walmart that my college senior has used for her apartment. Two lamps; can be used independently, brushed metal…Tons of light</p>
<p>I think it was 12.99.</p>
<p>Not cheap, but wonderful for reading and actually quite intense in a local area: [New</a> 24w Floor Lamp | Floor Lamps and Lights - OttLite | Functional Lamps and Lights](<a href=“http://www.ottlite.com/p-344-new-24w-floor-lamp.aspx]New”>New 24w Floor Lamp | Floor Lamps and Lights - OttLite | Functional Lamps and Lights)</p>
<p>I have one for reading by my reading chair. When my brother came to visit a few years back, he liked it so much that he bought one for himself. High flattery, because a) he’s about as cheap as they come, and b) he reads a LOT.</p>
<p>I second the Ottlite! They are not cheap, but they work very well. I do a variety of crafts from smocking to scapbooking and cardmaking and I would not trade my Ottlite for anything!</p>
