Does anyone use this bulb in a desk lamp for studying or reading? Is it comfortable?

I have this in all the bulbs in my house. Kitchen, bathroom, bedroom (TV/reading), office (computer screens for coding), living room (TV/XBox) and I don't have any problems. These bulbs can be hit or miss but you get what you pay for.

The color is like day light. But the bulb I got turns off after an hour or so. I don't recommend this brand.

This is a pretty bright bulb, i wouldn't recommend putting this on study table.

No, it is more of a decorative lamp. There is no where enough light for studying.

Yes, I ordered this item as a replacement bulb for my tensor lamp. After 90 days of use, I am happy to report that these #93 bulbs work just fine. There is no "hum" and no overheating issues. I was so pleased, I ordered 3 more as backups.

I would say its more of a novelty lamp than an actual reading lamp. The light saber is an LED light, so it is brighter than a regular light bulb, but I don't know if I would use the lamp regularly for reading.

I don't think it's bright enough to read by. It's really just a nice, low light that brightens up any dark areas you may have in the room. I originally bought it exactly for that purpose but liked it so much anyway that I decided to keep it lol! Keep looking if you really want something to read by but if you want a nice, trendy looking lamp, this is a good buy =)

I am almost positive that you could not go wrong with this light bulb. It has a MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE color than the regular CFL bulbs and never gets hot. I would maybe get a higher power/wattage/brightness if you have slightly higher ceilings or just a singular light fixture though (just like some folks have mentioned before). If anything buy a few of these bulbs, see if they work, and if the do STOCK UP and if they don't you'll still have a few wonderful light bulbs for smaller lamps around the house. :) Happy shopping!

I use it for short duration reading. When I read for longer times, I turn on the overhead light and use the lamp to enhance the lighting next to the bed where it is a little shadowy. (My primary use of the lamp is so I can see where I am going when I get up during the night.) In short, you can use it to read, but I prefer more light for reading.

No. I love this light, but do not think it would be good for reading unless there are other iight sources in the room.

Yes, it would be quite nice as a reading lamp. Puts off enough light with the bulbs provided.

I have it on a lamp with a 3way bulb it is fine. The brighter light is good because it fills the whole room and makes getting up SO much easier. It also has a switch-on option so you can use the lamp other times. I love it.

illuminate from 3feet, yes. its light is very concentrated and it is very comfortable to read with this guy. But compared to 100 Watt bulb, no. I have a 100 Watt bulb, it can light my whole bedroom. And this guy, well, just my table.

Depends on how close the lamp is to your body. The adjustable "neck" allows you to easily position the bulb for comfort & safety.

Hi Jerome, I read a lot in bed, and I use this lamp. The light is a bit whiter than I would like, but it is bright enough for a good reading, and at the same time very discrete for any other person sleeping in the same bedroom. Hope his helps !Regards,Rodrigo

As a night reading lamp or desk lamp it is bright enough.4 watts in led light is a lot brighter then 4 watts filament bulb.

Yes it is a very nice lamp. We got it for our son that put it beside his desk to read and he loves it. Nice heavy base. Seems to be well made.

I think this would be a great desk/table lamp for working on puzzles. The light is very good - better than I expected. I use it as a reading lamp on my bedside table, often at one of the lower of the three settings.

This lamp is great because it is a cool temperature LED light. This makes a big difference for me because I use the lamp up close for reading.
