If you’re looking for a setup that looks a little bit cooler than a tiny lamp on your desk-or if your particular desktop setup has no room for any bulkier lighting equipment - you might want to consider trying out some bias lighting. As for bulbs, consider those of the natural light (and low wattage) variety: If you need more brightness, switch to higher wattages or add another light source. A small lamp on a desk that creates a pleasant diffusion of light behind your display and prevents glare is great a full-sized floor lamp can also work wonders, provided it physically fits into your particular desk setup. You don’t need that much light around a monitor or laptop screen, and what you pick needs only to supply indirect light in a general area around your desk and display.
You could always use blinds or curtains to limit the amount of light coming in when it’s especially bothersome, but that kind of defeats the point of the view, doesn’t it? You might be tempted to slap your monitor or laptop in front of a huge window to enjoy some scenery while you work, but the brightness of your exterior view could stress your eyes out. The best setup? Plain ol’ natural light, best deployed in the form of a window angled perpendicular to your computer screen. So if you’re sitting at a computer under fluorescent lights and you aren’t at work, just stop: This kind of overhead lighting is one of the harshest environments for your eyes to deal with. And a similar situation happens when you set up your screen in a location that creates a ton of glare: not only does your picture look horrible, but all that light mucks up the quality of your picture and forces your eyes to do a lot more refocusing to achieve better clarity. While you might think that you’re looking at a crisper, more pleasing picture in a dim or otherwise darker environment, you’re just forcing your eyes to work that much harder to process extreme differences in contrast.
