In a study room, lighting should be comfortable rather than simply bright. Placing a pendant light directly above the desk often leads to glare and visual fatigue.

Why avoid installing a pendant light above the desk?

• Screen reflections
• Glare on books
• Shadows caused by the body

Recommended installation positions

1. Center of the room

Provides even ambient lighting without disturbing the workspace.

2. Between the desk and bookshelf

Side lighting reduces glare and improves visual comfort.

Best solution: pendant light + desk lamp

• Pendant light: ambient lighting
• Desk lamp: focused task lighting

Conclusion

In a study, placement matters more than brightness.
