Answer 1

It depends on what you are comfortable with. If your eyes get tired fast and start itching/burning, then you may need more light.

Usually a small lamp that can be directed directly on to your work would be more beneficial, and would eliminate any shadows that a ceiling light often causes.

Answer 2

Hey

100 watts should be bright enough for reading and writing.

Answer 3

the brightness of a light is one thing,but be sure to check what wattage your light can use....many fixtures can not take more than 60 watts safely.By putting more wattage in a fixture than recommended  can cause a fire.
