Light, whether natural or artificial, plays an important role in human life, especially children – who are particularly sensitive and easily affected by the external environment. Therefore, when installing bedroom lighting equipment for children, we need to pay attention to the following issues to ensure physical health as well as help children have a truly effective living and studying space.
Make the most of natural light sources possible:
The sun is the best natural light source for our health. When designing a room for children, if possible, help sunlight appear in the study and reading area so that children have healthy eyes. However, in case we cannot take advantage of this natural light source, let’s use artificial light from quality lighting equipment such as:
- Compact, sophisticated recessed spotlight system
- Wall lamps with lovely shapes
- Modern, funny chandeliers
- Floor lamps with soft light, etc.
Pay attention to functional lighting:
Night lights are very important because if the light source is not enough, it will affect the baby’s vision. Install lamps for functional lighting such as desk lamps or small-angle spotlights to help the baby’s brain stay awake and focus more on studying.
Increase aesthetics with accent lighting:
Interior decoration objects in the baby’s room can be highlighted by accent lighting. Arrange more lights with moderate brightness in areas that your baby loves such as bookshelves, paintings, toys, certificates, etc. to both highlight and make the room more emotional and attractive.
Make sure the lighting equipment meets the standards:
The types of lights need to have a color rendering index CRI of 80 or higher to help your baby’s eyes avoid refractive errors. On the other hand, the lighting equipment needs to be harmoniously combined with the interior of the room, helping children to study, play and relax most comfortably. In addition, combine spotlights and downlights to enrich the room and help highlight details.
Avoid the harmful effects of light sources from mobile devices:
The blue light from devices such as phones and tablets will negatively affect your baby’s sleep. To avoid these harmful effects, we should add LED lights behind the computer screen, choose good quality lights, recreate sunlight, adjust the color temperature, design soft white light and have even diffusion for both day and night.
Don’t forget to pay attention to the installation location and switch:
When designing lighting in the children’s bedroom, you should pay attention to the location of the lights as well as the location of the switches and sockets. Depending on the interior layout and space layout, you can choose a suitable location. For example, the study light switch needs to be installed within reach so that the child can conveniently turn it on and off when studying.
