Bedside light

Light in the bedroom

The bedroom is one of the environments in which the lighting is designed according to the activities which will take place in: you will need to install a component in ceiling, wall or floor for general lighting of the whole environment, as well as light points to the bedside.
The presence of these elements is essential to give a warm and cozy but, at the same time, functional reading.

To achieve this effect, you can choose between different types of lighting on time: they are free standing, or wall hanging, the factors to consider are always the same: the height for reading and the intensity of the emitted light.

For the first element it will be necessary to make sure that the lower edge is at the height of the shoulder so that the light cone reaches the pages; if this is too low, in fact, not enough light will arrive and if it is too much, it could cause glare.
For the second element is necessary to choose the luminaire according to the lux unit of illumination: for the bedroom the legislation suggests the presence of luminaires of about 150 lux, while in the bedroom area of approximately 300 lux.

The aim is twofold: on the one hand to accompany the sleep and the awakening of the user without a strong visual impact, the other is not to strain the reading and not to disturb the other occupant of the bed, maybe choosing a device with a beam adjustable and directional lighting. Very useful in this case are the light intensity and the adjustable arm.

Let's see some examples of lighting for bedside tables divided by type, so that we can guide you in choosing among them: remember that the same should be conducted according to technical specifications, but also according to their taste; a beautiful and functional bedside lamp, on or off, contributes, in fact, the overall view of the bedroom.

Standing bedside lamp table

The first example of a table lamp that we propose is Arrow, produced by Zava and designed by Lorenzo Damiani. It is a luminaire original and functional for reading because it consists of two separate units: the central element with a top hat from which the light is diffused, and an adjustable arm and adjustable very useful for reading. Being prepared for the double switch is ideal for installation on tables, while simultaneously allowing the reading to a user and the rest to another.

The example that we propose below, however, it is ideal to accompany the rest and awakening, especially in hectic times like ours.

That the quality of sleep and awakening modes are fundamental to the well-being throughout the day is now ascertained by several studies, which is why you should choose a lamp that is able to help achieving the goal.

An example is given by the Wake-Up Light by Philips lamp/ alarm clock to support features twenty adjustable brightness settings based on the activities to be carried out.

Its peculiarity lies in the ability to ignite it gradually, depending on the time of alarm, simulating the natural light of dawn: half an hour before the set time the fixture starts to glow and, simultaneously, it will spread the sounds of nature or music chosen. In this way the awakening will be softer and it will be accompanied by a light that is yes artificial but that better simulates the natural one.

Hanging Bedside Wall Lamp

The application of wall lamp is very suitable to create the right atmosphere in the environment: on the sides of the bed, above the table, the luminaires diffuse light highlighting the wall on which they are installed.

An example is given by Birdie from Foscarini, wall lamp with polycarbonate diffuser and arm and steel, which are inserted through the wall of a circular plate. The possibility to choose between different colors, white, gray, amaranth and orange means that the lamp fits well in any environment and, if desired, you can also choose two different colors for the same environment.

Suspended Bedside Light

Choosing the suspended lamp right on the bedside table just means making the most of this part of the room: make sure that the item falls just above the table top it causes the illuminated everything is resting on the nightstand, then books, alarm clock , ornaments, photos or small paintings.

Conic is a suspension lamp by Artemide designed by David Chipperfield and reminiscent of the classic cone-shaped shade: it is composed of two cones, one inside the other, in different shape and material: the outer borosilicate glass with transparent sandblasted bottom edge, the inner smaller aluminum.
The unit is equipped with LED light source and nylon hose that allows it to fit into any environment.
