Reduce Blue Light Exposure Before Bed

Blue light from screens and certain LED bulbs can interfere with melatonin production. Tips to minimize exposure include:

• Use low blue light LED lamps in the bedroom — LED options
• Switch off electronic devices 1–2 hours before sleep
• Use warm-colored night lights — table lamps with 2700K–3000K light

Use Warm Color Temperatures

Warm light promotes relaxation and sleep:

• Color temperatures between 2200K–3000K create a cozy environment
• Consider pendant lights and bedside table lamps with warm LEDs
• Layer with dimmable floor lamps for flexibility — floor lamp options

Layer Your Bedroom Lighting

Layered lighting ensures versatility for various activities:

• Ambient lighting: Ceiling or semi-flush mount lights — semi-flush mount lights
• Task lighting: Bedside reading lamps — table lamps
• Accent lighting: LED strips or pendant lighting to highlight decor — pendant lights

Incorporate Dimmers and Adjustable Lamps

Dimmers help adjust lighting intensity according to mood or time of day:

• Use dimmable lamps for bedside and overhead lights — dimmable collection
• Adjust brightness gradually in the evening to support circadian rhythm
• Smart dimmers enable scheduled lighting for optimal sleep patterns

Position Lights Strategically

Placement affects comfort and usability:

• Bedside lamps for reading without straining eyes
• Ceiling lights centered in the room for even ambient light
• Accent lights near seating areas or shelves — LED accent lamps

Choose Low-Glare Fixtures

Glare can disrupt relaxation and sleep:

• Shaded lamps reduce harsh direct light — table lamp shades
• Indirect lighting via wall or ceiling fixtures softens illumination — ceiling lights
• Frosted LED bulbs scatter light evenly
