New to WFH, looking for a desk lamp that actually makes the workspace feel better.

Starting next week, I’ll be switching from working in the office to working from home full-time.I’m actually pretty excited about it because I’ll save a lot of time and money on commuting. But at the same time, I’m a little worried about whether I’ll be able to stay as productive as I was in the office.

Another issue is my home office. The room is quite dim, and ever since I moved into this house, it has mostly been used as a storage room. I’ve never really put much effort into making it a comfortable workspace.

Now I’m looking for a desk lamp that can make the transition to full-time WFH easier. My budget is around $200.

The brand I see recommended the most is BenQ, but I’m not a big fan of the design. The curved lamp head looks a bit bulky, and I feel like it would make my desk feel more crowded. The base also seems pretty heavy, so it might not be very easy to move around.

I’ve also seen a lot of people recommending indirect lighting desk lamps. From what I understand, they shine light toward the ceiling first, then use the reflection to create softer and more even lighting.

Has anyone used a desk lamp that genuinely changed the way their workspace feels? Something that doesn’t just make the desk brighter, but actually makes the whole working environment more comfortable?
