By the type of lighting, sconces are additional light sources that illuminate a small area of ​​the room to a greater extent.

They are divided into three types:

1. decorative - a design technique that creates a special atmosphere;
2. workstations above the table, designed to illuminate the working area of ​​the student's desk;
3. wall lamps - lighting devices to provide a soft, muffled luminous flux at night.

Each variety has its own characteristics.

For example, decorative wall lamps for children are more of a decoration, so they can be point-like, making up a certain composition.

The functional options for the desk are more strict and are thought out in such a way as not to interfere with the child's concentration.

Nightlights are a special line of sconces. Initially, they were invented to help parents of babies: so it was not necessary to constantly rise at night to turn on the light, looking at the state of the baby. However, if nightlights are used constantly, they can harm the baby's psyche, provoking a fear of the dark associated with discomfort when there is no light.

If used wisely, a night light can be a great device to help create a relaxing atmosphere before bed.

These sconces are supplied with different functionality:

• by adjusting the intensity of the luminous flux;
• changing the angle of inclination;
• soundtrack;
• timer on (off);
• motion and sound sensors;
• the ability to record and play audio.

Baby wall lights can be installed:

• on the wall by the children's bed;
• above the surface of the desk;
• over the bedside or dressing table;
• on the accent wall of the room.

The position above the table follows certain rules:

• the distance from the light source to the working area should be at least 30-40 cm;
• the distance between the lamp and the child's eyes should not be less than 40-50 cm;
• it is unacceptable that the light flux hits the eyes: this harms the retina and optic nerve;
• the device for the writing desk is installed on the left if the child is right-handed, on the right if he writes with his left hand. This eliminates the formation of shadows on the illuminated work area.

Children's wall lamps are varied. The modern choice is so huge that if you wish, you can choose anything you like for the author's interior design of the room.

Products are divided into three categories:

• for girl;
• for boy;
• universal.

Each line is distinguished by shades of the color palette. For girls, choose models in pink, white, yellow, mint, lilac, coral shades. Boys options welcome all naughty colors: blues, greens, oranges, blues, muted reds, and more.

The theme is also noteworthy.

The most interesting design options for sconces are:

• marine style (steering wheels, sailors, fish, ships, sailboats);
• flower arrangements (single elements or model sets);
• summer days (butterflies on flowers, greenery, ladybugs, dragonflies);
• cute animals (all kinds of kittens, puppies, bears, turtles, elephants);

• the world of motorsport (cars, races);
• mesmerizing space (rockets, planets, spaceships, UFOs, stars);
• heavenly bodies (sun, moon) and clouds;
• fairy-tale characters (fairies, magic ponies, unicorns).

A separate topic is the plot of the projector models. The projection can be laconic (in the form of stars, bears, toys) or complex (with a map of the starry sky). Among the pictures, the depths of the sea with inhabitants and the flora of the distant past (dinosaurs) are especially attractive.

In the production of sconces for a children's room, different raw materials are used.

The popular type of material offered for sale by trade marks are metal, plastic, plastic, glass, wood. Model-projectors in the form of toys are made of soft fabric with a pleasant texture, which is no different from ordinary toys.

The best raw materials are metal and wood. When heated, they do not emit harmful toxic substances into the air, like plastic, and are more durable than glass and plastic.

The choice of the model is not based solely on external indicators. The type of lamp and the temperature of the luminous flux matter. Not all light sources are suitable for children and home use.

The produced models imply the use of lamps:

• incandescent - shine less than they heat up;
• halogen - in general, worth considering for a purchase;
• LED - the best for wall sconces;
• luminescent - hazardous to health, emit mercury into the air.

Today, choosing a sconce for a child's room is not a problem.Despite the huge list of functions, a lot of thematic techniques and sweet advertising of sellers, it is worth starting from several principles, paying attention to:

• appointment. A sconce for a desk is simpler in design, it should have brighter lighting than a night light;
• safe type of work. For babies, this is a battery-powered model with a closed shade and the impossibility of disassembly;
• "Correct" type of lamp with uniform dispersion of the luminous flux - exclusion of flicker, which has a harmful effect on the eyes;
• optimal design (harmony with the existing furniture in color or style) and the absence of mirrored structural elements;
• absence of bulky and sharp structural elements in order to avoid injury to the child in case of accidental mechanical touch;

• the ability to adjust the brightness - a convenient factor that helps to "turn" the lamp, if necessary, into a night light;
• functionality of the device, designed for repeated switching on and off and its compatibility with electronic control systems;
• The "correct" type of material of manufacture, safe for the health of the child;
• convenient operation system (simple switch, easy to control);
• the age of the child. Baby items are completely out of place in a high school or teen's room;
• the optimal cost of the lamp, since there is no point in overpaying for advertising if the functionality of the models is the same.

Availability of documentation (certificate of quality and compliance with safety standards) is an important factor that speaks in favor of the quality of the product. The purchase of such devices is carried out personally: so there is always an opportunity to check the product in operation.
