THE RIGHT LIGHTING SOLUTIONS FOR YOUR KIDS BEDROOM
A good and
adequate lighting is essential in the entire house, which is suitable for the
type of environment that you want to create and that is sufficient for the dark
period of the day and for the autumn and winter seasons where the light is less
present.
This problem
is particularly sensitive for a bedroom where our children spend a lot of time.
In fact, we must not only provide adequate lighting, but we must avoid the
dangers that a small child might encounter with lamps and chandeliers.
A final the issue that will be addressed in the second paragraph will be on which lighting
is best suited for the study.

Which lighting should I choose for the children's bedroom?
Carefully
choosing the lighting for the children's bedroom is essential, since it is this the room that our children spend most of their time, be it for playing, studying or
sleeping.
The choice
on how to light the bedroom depends on the type of furniture and the interior
layout. The LED LIGHTS technology certainly helps us, guaranteeing greater safety and
high energy savings, up to 90% compared to the classic incandescent light.
The first a necessity in a bedroom is to select the main light, the one that will illuminate
the entire room, providing adequate comfort and eliminating the shadows.
The ceiling
lights are a design solution certainly very suggestive but at the same time,
they tend to release the direct light only on the ceiling, so if the painting
has not been done in a workmanlike manner there will be a lack of light inside
room.
For that it
is preferable to choose a pendant lamp which allows you to better illuminate
the entire room. Leave room for imagination and colors, chandeliers with
extravagant shapes or children's favorite characters will make the environment
more playful!
The light
bulb for the main lighting will have to be powerful in order to light up to the
floor, because that's where children, especially the little ones love to play. Warm
light bulbs should be preferred, to avoid the typical office effect of cold
light.
Lighting to study: warm light or cold light?
Before
talking about artificial lighting, a suggestion is a must. Position the desk
near the window so that it is illuminated by natural daylight. When natural
light is scarce then you can resort to adjustable table lamps, which allow you
to direct the light directly on the books so as not to strain your eyes.
For the study we recommend a warm white light, always led, in order to guarantee adequate energy saving. It has been shown that white light allows us to read
better and promotes our child's concentration.
Here are
some more tips to avoid eye strain:
·
Always
place the table lamp on the opposite side from the hand you are writing with,
to avoid shadows.
·
The
table lamp must be adjustable and able to cover the work area.
·
When
you read or write you use targeted lights in combination with diffused lighting
to avoid eye strain.
Main light and secondary light: how many Watts?
As for the wattage of the LED lights for our child's bedroom, the main light can be from
100 watts effective (so a 10-12 watt LED bulb), while for the secondary light
30-40 watts will be sufficient ( then a 3-4 watt LED bulb) as the light must
radiate only a small area of the room.
The ideal light to rest
When you
rest you should sleep in the dark, but you know babies are very often afraid of
the dark, so you should opt for very dim light. The ideal would be to choose
dimmable lights that are equipped with an intensity regulator.
Light and design
Choosing the right lighting is, first of all, a functional choice, indispensable for
guaranteeing health and visual well-being. But light is part of the furnishings
of a room and is able to create very surprising effects. Even for children's
bedrooms, we can choose to light up with LED strips, so as to create decorative
details and fun light effects. Or choose controllable multi-colored bulbs.
