A bulb is not included. We would suggest a warm LED at 2400K to 2700K drawing around 5W to 7W, which is what stops a white glaze reading grey.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-q\"\u003eIs it bright enough to read by?\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-a\"\u003eIt is an ambient light rather than a task light, since the fitting is capped at 40W.
