(PRWEB) June 7, 2006 -- Getting your child to do homework is one thing, but setting up the perfect workspace for them to do their assignments is another. Parents are becoming more aware of the importance of having a solid workspace for their children.

There are many things to keep in mind when arranging a workspace for your child with the school months looming ahead. A child’s workspace should have sufficient space (visit modernseed.com for furniture ideas), distractions such as TV or video games should be put away, supplies should be made readily available, and a good desk lamp should be in place—preferably a task light which focuses light in a particular direction or area.

Good task lighting prevents eye strain and headaches, and enables your child to concentrate better. Task lighting combined with overhead fixtures make work easier on the eyes. Some of the major impacts of rediscovering task lighting for our work environment are discussed below.

Here are a few tips from David Feldman, CEO of YLighting, that you can follow to create lighting that will set the mood for concentration and homework.

• Put the lamp to the left of a right-handed person or to the right of a left-handed person

• The beam of the light should fall on the working area and not reflect onto the computer screen

• Purchase an adjustable lamp, especially a cantilevered one that can be angled and lowered

• Clip-on spotlights are useful, as you can move them to wherever they're needed

• In response to changing conditions, one needs to adjust the lighting levels directed on the work in order to reduce eyestrain and fatigue

YLighting has a variety of tasks lights to suit every workspace for children. The energy-efficient One Line Clamp Lamp features a clamp and adjustable body. For optimal visibility consider using and overhead light like the Tolomeo Off Center Ceiling Light—developed to offer maximum flexibility and adjustment of the light over the workspace.
