Would the lower light work well as a reading light in bed? I keep my mattress and box spring on the floor so it is not that high up.

That is a good question. It works well for me, but my mattress is in a bed frame, so I can turn the lower light on and off while I'm lieing down. I don't know if you can when on a mattress on the floor. I don't believe the location where the lower light is attached to the pole is designed to be adjustable, but if it is (as mine turned out to be) it might work out fine. Good luck.

It's still pretty bright!I have it situated about 2 feet from my sewing machine and get ample additional lighting.

it really depends on what you need done. If it is the only source of light it will not be bright enough in that size room for reading. In the evening.

I for one just use this particular lighting fixture behind my head post bed for a very nice reading lamp in my room but, I do not think it is real extravant for office use.... anyway's works great for my needs.

I had to go find my light (which I really keep out and near most of the time) and a book and try it. I think it will work for you. It's a strong beam but I was able to sit in the dark and read using the light. Make sure you get one that is adjustable - where you can point the beam down - not just out. I'm not sure if they all an do that or not. good luck! Sleep is important for your wife!

Nope. Only enough output to keep from walking into furniture. Don't try reading. Ok for me I like floor and table lamps anyway.

No, it's great. We use it on my 3 yr olds bed for reading. No problems and I love that we can adjust the brightness.

True. If you get down low and look up at the light , you can see the bulb. . Not really a deal breaker. Mine is high in a stairwell. I like it.

Not that great in low light. You will need to light the room a little, try a red light or something to have an excuse for lighting :)

Yes, without a doubt on. I have a standing lamp with a little reading lamp attached to it, I keep it behind the recliner in my room and use one of these as a reading light.

At it's lowest setting, the bottom edge of the light box is a little over a foot off the ground. I think it would work.

It might be, however I'd get it with a black/dark lamp shade to try and make the light as dim as possible. In my opinion still gives off just a *little* too much light to be a nightlight, but not enough to be a practical lamp (other than for bedside lamp for reading)

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

Yes, I believe it would. It has a setting for the brightness of the light. Just be careful of the amount of tension on the head strap so there is no discomfort. It is an adjustable light also, so this would be excellent to point down at your reading material. Hope this helps, and happy reading:)

I think if you put the light away from bed pointing at it it will work well. The light is adjustable and can be very bright. Hope this helps.

I would have used it for that. It's not a super bright light, just enough to see by. When I use it on the porch, it throws enough light to read by up close to it. I love mine.

I have mine in my living room, so I'm not sure. I would say will light it up, but maybe not enough to read.
