Before You Buy
Two Ergocrew guides and one OSHA page on workstation lighting.

Read this before you place a lamp, since it puts the lamp in the last step of a desk setup. It says the chair comes first, then the keyboard and mouse, then the screen, and everything else last, because each step sets up the next. It lists a lamp wit...
Desk Setup Order
I added this because OSHA's environment page is the glare check behind the lighting picks here. It says to place the face of the display at right angles to windows and light sources, and that bright light sources behind the screen can create contrast...
