Calming Bedroom Lights
With the home being a hub of activity, it's important to ensure the right use of artificial lighting to carry out tasks effectively, and to utilise these dynamic light sources to adapt to every situation.
For example, the light in the bedroom needs different characteristics in the morning than in the evening. The same goes for lighting in the kitchen and dining room. To create an energising effect, a blue light at breakfast is ideal, whilst a red light during the evening will help to create a relaxing effect.
Follow these tips from Lights.co.uk, the online specialist for lamps and lighting, on how to choose the right light for every situation at home.
1. Blue light for alertness and energy
Just as natural daylight can have an impact on wellbeing, clever use of artificial light can also have positive effects. Daylight white, often described as a cool, blue light, comes closest to natural daylight and can therefore be especially helpful when waking up. When light bulbs with a higher percentage of blue are used, the secretion of the sleep hormone melatonin is slowed. For those who have difficulty getting out of bed in winter, a blue light can help 'outsmart' the body. The blue light simulates daylight, making getting out of bed easier, much like on a bright summer's day.
A light colour of around 6,000 kelvins is ideal to overcome the morning lull. When the light shines from a large-surfaced source from above, the biological impact is strongest. Therefore LED panels with variable light colours are particularly effective. The light colour can be adapted via remote control to suit every situation and support the daily routine.

2. The perfect light for reading and learning
Also when working or learning, it's recommended to use a light source with high proportion of blue tones (for example, 6,000 kelvins), as this can help concentration. When reading, or looking at photos and pictures, a natural white light (of around 4,000 kelvins) should be used, as this helps protect the eyes against fatigue and allows colours to appear in their truest form.
3. Red light calms and gives feeling of security
A warm white light, also known as a reddish light, gives a feeling of comfort that can lead to relaxation. This also reaches our subconscious to give a feeling of safety, because even our earliest ancestors gathered together around a warm fire to share a feeling of comfort and security. A feeling, that still seems to be firmly rooted in modern man today.
4. A warm light helps you fall asleep more easily
A good sleep is important in order to wake up refreshed in the morning. For those who like to read before bed, a light bulb with a warm light colour should be used in the bedside lamp or reading light. The comforting light helps one to relax and feel comfortable more quickly, making falling asleep easier – we recommend a light colour of no more than 3,000 kelvins. A warm white light contains low levels of blue, which can positively impact the secretion of melatonin and lead to a peaceful feeling more quickly.
