The perfect lighting for your home office – how to avoid headaches and fatigue

Are you working from home but your eyes are burning, you feel tired all the time or you get headaches? The right lamp makes all the difference! Here we show you how to light your home office optimally - without much effort and without affecting your mood.

Many people underestimate how important the right light is in the workplace. People often improvise in the home office: The old ceiling lamp will do, or the small desk lamp from before seems to be enough. However, poor lighting can lead to concentration problems, sleep disorders or even tension in the long term.

With the right tips, you can set up your home office so that you can work efficiently, healthily and comfortably.

Why good lighting is so important in the home office

Light influences body and mind! Daylight controls our internal clock. If it is lacking, we feel tired, unfocused and sometimes even depressed. This effect is particularly noticeable in winter or in rooms with few windows.

The wrong light can make you ill! Too dark or flickering light strains the eyes. Light that is too cold has a sterile effect, light that is too warm makes us sleepy. In the long term, this leads to headaches, burning eyes and even neck tension because we automatically lean forward to see more.

Productivity depends on the right light! Studies show that people work with up to 30 % more concentration with optimum lighting. In the home office, the lamp is therefore not a side issue, but a real secret to success.

The best lamps for the home office

The lighting industry has long recognized the importance of healthy light. Today, there are clever lights for desks, screens and entire rooms that are specially tailored to home office needs.

⸻

1. desk lamps with daylight function

A good desk lamp is indispensable. Models with LEDs and adjustable color temperature are ideal: bright, cool light (5000-6500 Kelvin) to wake you up in the morning, warmer light (2700-3500 Kelvin) to relax in the evening.

Many of these lamps also have a dimmer function and can be flexibly adjusted - perfect for switching between laptop, notes and documents.

2. Floor lamps as room lighting

A desk lamp alone is often not enough. Floor lamps with indirect lighting create a uniform basic brightness and prevent harsh contrasts that tire the eyes.

Floor lamps with two light sources are particularly practical: an upward-facing spotlight for room lighting and a separate reading arm for targeted light at the workstation.

3. ceiling lights with smart function

If you set up your home office in a pure study, a smart ceiling light is worthwhile. You can use apps or voice control to adjust the brightness and color tone depending on the time of day - without having to get up.

This allows you to create optimum working conditions during the day and cozy light in the evening if you also use the room privately.

4. light strips and LED strips

If you are looking for a modern solution, use LED light strips or Strips. Mounted behind the desk, on the monitor or under a shelf, they provide uniform background light. This is easy on the eyes and prevents you from staring into a dark hole.

Tips for the perfect home office lighting

• Use daylight: Place your desk as close to the window as possible.
• Combine several light sources: Room light + desk lamp + indirect lighting look more natural than just one lamp.
• Make sure there is no glare: never position lamps so that the light falls directly on the screen.
• Adjust the color temperature: Cold white in the morning, warm white in the evening.
• Work at eye level: The light should come from the side, not from behind or directly from the front.

LEDs: the all-rounders in the home office

LED lamps are energy-saving, long-lasting and available in countless designs. They are ideal for the home office because they emit hardly any heat and can be precisely controlled. Many modern LED lights are compatible with smart home systems - perfect for automated work routines.

For example: in the morning, the lamp switches on automatically with bright light, at midday it dims down slightly and in the evening it changes to a warm color tone. In this way, the lamp helps you to maintain a healthy biorhythm.
