Standalone lights in the bedroom will probably only complement your style and not provide many functions. But ceiling lights can help provide practicality and ambiance. Below is a quick reference lighting guide for finding the best solution for your bedroom.

Why You Need Good Ceiling Lights

You probably use your bedroom for more than just sleeping, so you need multiple lighting sources. A well-lit bedroom creates a calming atmosphere. Additionally, proper lighting can provide what you need for being productive or relaxing. While lamps provide comfort, ambiance, and task lighting, they may not be practical for most things. Proper ceiling lights can help with most things, and you can even arrange them where they are needed or control them with dimmers. Here is a quick video about the principles of dimmer switches.

How Poor Lighting Affects Your Sleep

You probably sleep in the dark. And making your bedroom as dark as possible is required for a good night's sleep. However, your bedroom lighting can affect how you sleep before you switch them off. For instance, if you like to read in bed before sleeping, you need task lighting rather than bright white lights that light the entire room. Additionally, you need romantic lighting and a perfect ambiance when spending time with your partner in the bedroom. Bright lights before bed or during sleep can disrupt the transition between sleep cycles.
