One thing our house is missing is lighting. We have little areas that are a little dark for when we want to read of do close work. Finding the right light is often a challenge. I was recently sent the BenQ Wit Reading Desk Lamp to review.
With a lot of lights they can be too bright especially for my daughter C who suffers light sensitivity due to her chronic illness.

Our thoughts
We love it, the BenQ WiT has a very sturdy base making it safe to use on any surface. With the choice of brightness the lamp is perfect for those reading or doing close work. For those who suffer with light sensitivity C has been using this light for about 4 weeks. She has found it a much better and less harsh light to use, which she has found with others.
If you are looking for lighting around your home, I would recommend looking at this as one of your options. I know I am looking at purchasing more.
I invested in a desk lamp last winter – it really makes a difference to how I feel while working during the winter month, especially once the clocks go back.
I think they are a good investment as well, I recently purchased another for my daughters desk in her room
I love the design of the lamp, as it is very different to other lamps
