This type of light can stay on all night.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-e2b72c24\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">Decide Your Fixture Placement<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes you might be limited by your home&#8217;s wiring or outlets. Worry not, there are still ways around it. But first, let&#8217;s suppose you are not restricted in any way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-b0493514\"><h3 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">Ambient light<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The best placement for ambient light (in the case of chandeliers, pendants &amp; co.) is in the center above the bed.<\/strong> This gives a nice glow to the bed and is a good position to illuminate your entire bedroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sconces should be placed on either side of the bed and anywhere else that feels appropriate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the light switch is close to the bed, you can get hardwired sconces. If not, go for sconces with an included switch next to the lamp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> Wall sconces follow the 6-foot rule, which means there should be a distance of about 6 feet (180 cm) between two sconces. However, this mostly applies to sconces in sequence, such as in hallways or stairs. For the bedroom, even 4 feet (120 cm) is okay, as this depends mostly on their functionality and the area around them.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-e65e9ac2\"><h3 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">Task lighting<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You should always make sure to <a href=\"https:\/\/plottedlights.com\/how-to-light-your-bedside-table\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1053\">light your bedside table<\/a> properly. Read the previous guide and use a table lamp, wall sconce, or swing-arm sconce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, you can install LED strips inside your closet and have them switch on automatically whenever you open the door. This way, you have one less light source to worry about when going to bed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have another table e.g., for putting on makeup or an area where you iron your clothes, you can light those up with pendants, track lighting, or a big arching floor lamp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-f05b5368\"><h3 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">Accent lighting<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The best tip I have to give for accent lighting is to use motion-activate LED strips wherever you can (e.g., under the bed, in the closet) and install some light wall art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image aligncenter uagb-block-414a2ba1 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-center\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plottedlights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Under-bed-lighting.jpg ,https:\/\/plottedlights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Under-bed-lighting.jpg 780w, https:\/\/plottedlights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Under-bed-lighting.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/plottedlights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Under-bed-lighting.jpg\" alt=\"Dimmable LED under bed\" class=\"uag-image-585\" width=\"800\" height=\"709\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This is very critical when trying to achieve the ideal bedroom lighting for sleeping. Not only does it give an awesome feeling to your bedroom, it&#8217;s also very practical, which is not common for accent lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> Install motion detectors so that your bed lights up whenever you get on or off. Late night trips to the kitchen or bathroom become SO much easier when you don&#8217;t need to worry about blinding light. Plus, <\/em><strong><em>no more toe stubbing!<\/em> <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-6f57661d\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">Calculate Your Lumens<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you need to determine how much brightness you need in your bedroom. Thankfully, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/plottedlights.com\/how-many-lumens-for-bedroom\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1036\">read this guide<\/a> to figure out your exact lumen needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Briefly, <strong>ambient light<\/strong> should be about&nbsp;<strong>15 lumens per square foot (or 180 lumens per square meter)<\/strong>&nbsp;of your bedroom.&nbsp;<strong>Task lighting<\/strong>, such as the lamp on your bedside table, should be about&nbsp;<strong>35 lumens per square foot (or 380 lumens per square meter)&nbsp;<\/strong><em><strong>of your task area.<\/strong><\/em>&nbsp;LED strips should be&nbsp;<strong>200-500 lumens per foot (600-1600 lumens per meter).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, these lumens are too high when trying to sleep. This is why the most important advice I can give for the best bedroom lighting for sleeping is to connect as many of your fixtures as you can to dimmers. This applies to your entire home but especially to your bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So keep most of your lamps on dimmers and dim them to your convenience shortly before bedtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-1c3dcc05\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">Pick The Right Bulbs<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Although many of the fixtures might come with the bulb included, it is important to know the specs of the bulb in general. For the best bedroom lighting for sleeping, the most important specs are lumens, which we talked about already, and color temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-cf5d25fd\"><h3 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">Color Temperature<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Color temperature measures how yellowish or white\/blueish the light is and it&#8217;s measured on the Kelvin scale, with up to 3000 K being warmer and more than 4000 K being cooler. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cooler light is better for focus and productivity, while warmer light is ideal for relaxation. <strong>I would suggest not exceeding 3500 K in your bedroom, with a sweet spot at around 2700 K.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you can also use LED bulbs with adjustable color temperature (or even color if you&#8217;re feeling funky!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-5fb4627d\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">Wrapping up &#8211; 6 Top Tips For Bedroom Lighting For Sleeping<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For the best bedroom lighting for sleeping, ensure the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Choose convenient fixtures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be mindful of where the switches are<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Automate as much as you can with motion-activated LEDs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use dimmable bulbs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carefully place accent lights that you can leave on at night<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not exceed 3500 Kelvin (or even 3000!)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>There you have it!
