The bedside wall lights in the bedroom is very important. For me, the bedside lamp is the most frequently used lamp in the bedroom.
Regardless of whether it is a main light or no main light, the readers who consulted me all suggested installing a bedside wall lights.
It is a lamp that integrates atmosphere, level and function. It is often not expensive and has a very high input-output ratio.
Generally speaking, bedside lamps can be summarized as:
1) wall lamp
2) Chandelier
3) Bedside shelf lamp
4) Desk lamp
Either way, at least one light within easy reach in the bedroom should have a dimming function, preferably a bedside lamp.
This is very important. Our needs for brightness are completely different when we first enter the bedroom and before going to bed.
In terms of space occupancy:
Table lamp＞Pendant lamp≥Wall lamp＞Bedside light strip.
In terms of light comfort: as long as the configuration is reasonable, it is difficult to distinguish between them.
In terms of practical functions:
If it is just lighting, you can choose according to your own situation.
If you want a good atmosphere, it is recommended to use diffuse reflection wall lamps or bedside lamps
In terms of use:
If you really need reading, please choose a wall lamp or table lamp, and wall lamps are more recommended.
reason:
-1: Most wall lights can support illumination direction adjustment, which allows the light to fall more accurately where you need it.
-2: Although the desk lamp in the rendering is so beautiful, in actual use, a bedside table is often not enough, and a desk lamp takes up more space. If your space allows, a desk bedside wall lights is also a good choice.
-3: Do not use any form of spotlight as a reading light, it will be uncomfortable.
Wall light installation
It is usually recommended to keep a distance of 1m from the bed. If you want to be more particular, sit in a normal sitting position leaning on the head of the bed, with your line of sight flush with the light outlet of the lamp.
Of course, there are many choices for wall lamps. If you have the habit of reading before going to bed, you can refer to j&s lighting.
I like fabric lampshades very much. The semi-transparent lampshades can effectively reduce the contrast between light and dark. The light is too natural and the experience is very good.
The direction of the lamp head can be adjust-ed, and the light supports 0-10%-50%-100% adjustment to meet the lighting needs of different brightness.
What! 500 yuan for a single-head wall lamp? For those who read on the bedside, the reading experience is priceless. High-quality lighting is a kind of enjoyment. Using one or two less spotlights will save the budget.
If you really have a limited budget and want good lighting, you can buy a lampshade similar to the one on the X baby, and then pair it with a full-spectrum bulb, which is both economical and reliable.
If you want to choose a “light decoration” wall lamp, it is recommend-ed to choose a wall lamp with a short illumination distance. Similar wall lamps like the picture below are usually not suitable and will cause too much light. They are originally use-d for light decoration, and too much light illuminates them. It doesn’t look good on the ceiling.
Like the picture below, those that have a strong ability to restrain light are more comfortable when leaning against the wall to reflect light. Those that are purely decorative are not suitable for reading. You can refer to Panasonic’s rocker bedside wall lights.
desk lamp
Advantages: wide selection surface, strong decoration, many functions, and can be move-d at will.
Disadvantages: It always takes up space, we always have not enough bedside tables, and over time the desk lamp becomes a burden.
Summary: Suitable for people who just need to read and a room with ample bedside space.
To meet the reading needs, the light source quality must be qualified, the color rendering index should be above 90, the light source should be uniform and soft, and the illumination should be sufficient.
To provide ambient lighting, at least it must have ambient light.
If you meet these two conditions at the same time, and the price is not expensive, I recommend the Star Wireless Charging Desk Lamp Pro from J&S Lighting.
This is also my personal desk lamp. I am in the advanced stage of laziness, so I didn’t take pictures or post about the desk lamp, but my fellow senior brother Xing Chen floor lamp posted a separate review post, so I’ll use the official picture.
The pro model has wireless mobile phone charging, and the 10W power charging speed is okay.
Supports mainstream smart platforms such as HomeKit, Mijia, etc., and can be easily access-ed by both iPhone users and Android users.
Usage: Can be use-d as bedside table lamp, night light, reading lamp, decorative lamp.
Disadvantages:
- The lamp body is relatively short, only nearly 30cm, and the height cannot be adjust-ed, so there are some requirements on where to place it.
- In order to neatly color the buttons, they are very similar to the color of the lamp body and are not easy to distinguish.
bedside pendant lamp
Advantages: One of the most common methods, it has strong visual sense and good decorative effect.
Disadvantages: lack of support points, most lighting angles cannot be adjust-ed, and it is easy to accidentally bump and swing around, which is quite annoying.
Summary: Suitable bedside wall lights for spacious bedrooms, not suitable for people with reading needs.
Waistline light strip
advantage:
It has a good atmosphere, good visual effect, and comfortable light. It can be use-d as the main lighting light or as an ambient light.
Disadvantages: The illumination direction is relatively fixe-d, so if you need books, you need to use it with other lamps.
If the wall is cracked, it is recommend-ed to make the light strips dimmable. For cost-effective light strips, you can refer to NVC’s smart light strips—j&s lighting, yeelight smart light strips—Mijia, and Xiaoyan Technology’s smart light strips—Apple HomeKit.
The desk is next to the bedside
Some bedsides are next to the desk, and you can use a wall lamp with a swing arm, which can not only provide lighting for the desk, but can also be use-d as a bedside lamp.
Similar to the picture below
Then just buy a good light bulb. I recommend the full-spectrum light bulb from J&S Lighting. Remember to ask about the size of the lampshade when buying a lamp stand. The light bulb cannot be expose-d, otherwise it will be very dazzling.
Depending on the lampshade, buying a 6W or 8W one is enough. Don’t worry about buying it. I’ll take care of it for you.
