What kind of reading wall lamp to choose - take care of your comfort

What to keep in mind when choosing a bedroom reading wall lamp?

1. Type of light. Natural light is considered the best for the eyes because it has a full spectrum of colors, which promotes better perception of colors and details. However, at night or in dark rooms it is necessary to use artificial light. Artificial light should be properly selected. LED bulbs are the best, offering high energy efficiency and long life. It is good for them to have a color rendering index (Ra) of at least 80 to ensure natural color reproduction.
2. Brightness. For reading, lighting with a brightness between 300 and 450 lumens is recommended. Light that is too bright can lead to eye fatigue, so it is a good idea to avoid light sources with an intensity of more than 450 lumens. The appropriate wattage of the bulb should be about 40 watts for traditional incandescent bulbs, which is equivalent to about 5 watts for LED technology.
3. Light color. The best light color for reading is warm white light, which has a color temperature in the range of 2700 to 3000 K. Such light is pleasant to the eyes and promotes relaxation. Cool white light (above 4000 K) can be less comfortable, especially during prolonged reading.
4. Precision lighting. Some reading wall sconces offer a focused light that allows precise illumination of the reading area. This way you don't have to worry about insufficient illumination of the book page or reader.
5. Comfort for the eyes. Reading in low light can cause eye fatigue and make it difficult to concentrate. Too bright a light can also fatigue the eyes, especially after a long day at work. Dimmable reading wall lamps allow you to adjust the intensity of the light to your needs, minimizing negative effects on your vision.

How high to mount reading sconces over the bed in the bedroom?

The optimal mounting height for reading sconces, especially those placed above the bed, should be about 150-160 cm from the floor. This height ensures that the light falls directly on the book, making it easier to read, while not blinding the user. When installing a reading wall lamp in the bedroom, pay attention to:

• Bed height: The height of the wall sconce should be adjusted to the height of the mattress. If the bed is higher or lower, it is a good idea to adjust the mounting height of the wall lamp accordingly.
• Angle of incidence of light: Wall lamps should be mounted in such a way that the light falls directly on the surface on which you are reading, but does not glare into your eyes. Models with adjustable arms or shades allow you to precisely adjust the angle of the light, making it more comfortable to use.
• Number of wall sconces: If you plan to install wall sconces on both sides of the bed, make sure they are at the same height to create a consistent and harmonious look
