What to compare

Factor	What to check	Why it matters
Handedness	Place the lamp opposite the writing hand	Reduce shadows across a paper grid
Arm reach	Move the head over the full puzzle or keyboard area	A short arm can leave dark corners
Shade control	Check whether the bulb is visible from the seat	A shade should block direct glare
Second surface	Compare screen reflections and paper illumination	A position that helps paper can reflect in glass
