- Lines: 8
-
- My wife was looking for a small powerful light for her make-up table and
- finally settled on one of those halogen desk lamps; the light it gives
- is very strong. But someone said they heard somewhere that the light from
- these lamps is not good for the eyes when viewed directly--you should use
- them for reflected light only (reading, etc.). Does anyone have any
- information either way?
