The white night light will perfectly fit into the bedroom in bright colors or with an abundance of dark elements. A small light detail will help dilute even the most boring environment, turning it into a stylish modern interior.

Night lamps are distinguished not only by their appearance, but also by the type of lighting, which directly depends on the lamps. Lamps, in turn, differ not only in the type of light - soft and warm or cold, but also in the variety of models, functional characteristics and properties.

Let's take a closer look at all types of lamps suitable for nightlights

This type of lamps appeared first of all and for a very long time did not have worthy analogues in the electronics and household appliances market. The power of such a lamp can vary between 15 and 300 watts.

Incandescent lamps are classified into two types:

1. Krypton the lamps contain the inert gas corresponding to the name. The power of this type of lamp, although it has a limit of 40 to 100 W, does not affect the light output in any way - it is believed that it is the strongest in krypton lamps.
2. Bispiral lamps have a much higher light output thanks to a special tungsten filament.

In addition, incandescent lamps can have both a transparent glossy and a darkened matte surface. Frosted lamps have less light output, but are more popular because they emit more pleasant diffused light.

This type of lamp is provided with glow due to phosphors, which, in turn, begin to glow under the influence of ultraviolet radiation and some gaseous elements. The lamps, although they do not have a transparent surface, are still quite bright and study a rather pleasant, soft light. This type of lamps is called energy-saving, since their light radiation is several times greater than that of incandescent lamps, but at the same time fluorescent lamps have much less energy consumption.

Perhaps the most powerful in terms of brightness varieties of lamps for lamps, as well as the most versatile and widespread. In addition, lamps have not only different sizes, but also different shapes, due to which the lighting can be diffused or concentrated at one point. These lamps are used not only to provide illumination, but also as an element of the decor of a night lamp.

This type of lamp is also very popular due to its low power consumption. In addition, they have a high luminous efficiency and a long service life. The advantages include the fact that nightlights with LED lamps may well run on solar batteries, while being no less functional than any others. And also the fact that these lamps are resistant to sudden temperature changes.

As you know, the most widespread and largest manufacturer of such goods is China. Chinese-made lamps and bedside lamps have a low cost, but, unfortunately, this often affects the quality of the products. More expensive are Korean, Japanese, German and even Russian lighting fixtures, the quality of which is at a higher level, thanks to which the products will be able to last much longer.

To choose a stylish night light for a bedroom, you don't need to have any special knowledge, but still there is a few life hacks and tips to listen to:

• The luminaire must correspond to the dimensions of the room.If a small product in a spacious bedroom is still acceptable, then a too massive nightlight in a tiny room will look inappropriate and, most likely, will negatively affect the visual perception of space, simply by eating it.
• The lighting fixture should be appropriate for the age of the bedroom occupant. For example, children's models of "Antibayki" will look inappropriate in the bedroom for adults, and the kid may simply not like a pretentious product in a classic style.
• It is best to choose a small bedside lamp, which is usually placed on the bedside table. In addition to the lighting fixture, there are other things on the bedside table, so it would be simply impractical to occupy the entire surface of the surface with one object.

• To illuminate the corridor, use small lamps, the switch of which is located in the room or close to its door. This solution will be very convenient, since you do not have to run to the other end of the hallway to turn off the light before bed.

• An unusual solution for a modern bedroom is a night light mounted behind the head of the bed. This kind of lighting is enough for reading before going to bed and for an evening pastime in a cozy bedroom.
• The interior of a bright bedroom with decorative elements of turquoise color is perfectly complemented by two bedside night lamps located on the wall in the area of ​​the sides of the bed.

• A very unusual, but very elegant and romantic solution for a bedroom is a night lamp with a round openwork shade. Light is scattered through beautiful openings, while forming incredibly beautiful, fabulous patterns on the walls.
• The night wall lamp in the shape of a cat sitting on a crescent looks unusual and elegant. Such a product will fit perfectly into a bedroom for adults, as well as in a nursery or teenage room.
