Why are hotels and similar accommodations always so badly lit? I've got so fed up with lighting being so poor for reading, especially reading in bed, that I've invested in a 280 lumen rechargeable work light to use as a reading lamp.

Got it in Aldi. It is labelled with IP20. I presume that this is an attempt at misleading marketing because the 2 in IP20 simply means that it is proof against the ingress of fingers which is not a very important feature of something that contains only 3.7 V, 2Ah battery and no high voltage components at all. The 0 means that it has no protection against liquids at all.
