What is a task light used for?
1 Answer

Task lighting is used for seeing small or low-contrast objects. It provides extra lighting for specific tasks in a room that may already have some ambient lighting. Task lighting includes table lamps, desk lamps and other practical fixtures. It can be used for a variety of activities such as reading, writing, working, cooking, and applying makeup.
