Headboard Reading Lamp

[Rand]

I am about to build a new headboard for our Master Bedroom.

Does anyone have any good ideas or links to buying built in reading lamps?

I googled it and didn't get much.

Thanks,
Rand

A lot of it depends on the configuration of the headboard and what sort of lamp you're looking for. Like if they need to be a swing arm type, gooseneck, mini can lights, etc.

I used to have a planted 55 gallon fishtank on my headboard. The four 48" fluorescent tubes were built into a hood/crossbar that spanned two shelf units on each side. I've been looking into better reading lights. Without the tank even one tube is way too bright. I picked up a couple LED strip lights from Sam's a few weeks ago, but they really didn't put out enough light.

I can get a lot of different types when searching "Wall reading light", some of them can get pretty pricey. Lee Valley carries some small downlights. http://www.leevalley.com/US/hardware...7&p=61308&ap=1

Personally I would prefer the wall style lamps. Something mounted to the headboard, can get in the way at times.

Nice little led light that clips on to the book, soon a backlit kindle kind of thing will negate the need for a light.
