Children's lights

In early childhood, care for the baby occurs around the clock, so parents have to get up to him at night. It is very important in this period to organize soft lighting at the bed of the newborn. The most logical acquisition is a special night light. It is for children, and not ordinary, because this product has its own characteristics.

First of all, the lamp in the nursery should be absolutely safe.especially if you plan to use it for more than one year. Children grow up, turn from babies into bright todies, many of whom never fall asleep in the dark. This is due to age-related children's fears and fantasies. She draws in their imagination frightening monsters and frightening monsters.

Buying a children's night lamp will allow the crumbs to fall asleep calmly and soundly until morning;especially if you buy not a simple design, but a real luminous miracle in the form of a cute little animal or a pacifying star.

The choice of night lights in the stores is impressively huge and it is so difficult to choose one among such a variety of models and types. Therefore, first of all, you need to decide what type of construction will be most preferable. Depending on the design, the night light will take its place in the nursery.

They are of several types:

• desktop;
• wall mounted;
• suspended;
• ceiling;
• floor standing

Children's night lights are divided into wired and battery-powered. Lamps they use mainly LED and halogen, low-power - from 25 to 65 watts. The ceiling light can produce both diffuse and directional flow of light. This should also be taken into account when choosing a night light in the child’s room.

Some models of night lights can even lull the little one with relaxing music and even a soothing scent. Such functions have only desktop and wall designs. Most of the models for children provide for the adjustment of the level of illumination, but there are also those where the off timer is integrated.This is very convenient when there is confidence that the child does not wake up in the middle of the night. Otherwise, the timer is not useful.

Lamps reflecting glowing stars on the ceiling can work all night without overheating. The stars will calm the baby who has woken up in the middle of the night, and will help him fall asleep, attracting him with a calm mysterious radiance. This is a good option for many children ages.

Many will be able to decide on the design without any extra recommendations, selecting it according to your taste and children's style. But there are some details that need to be considered to buy a high-quality and safe device.

When choosing a suitable night light in the crumbs room, consider several important characteristics:

• The night light should be made of safe materials.
• Included must be low-power light bulbs.
• The floor model must have a stable base.
• From the lamp should not emanate any smell (except for special models that distribute a relaxing scent).
• To it must be attached user manual, certificate of quality and information about the manufacturer.
• All parts are durable, well-fixed, without traces of glue and sharp edges.

Designers of children's lamps are constantly improving their products, equipping structures with additional functions and making them even more attractive in appearance. Sometimes the models look quite unusual and surprising. The security of the night light is receiving increasing attention, and the convenience of parents is taken care of as much.

Popular among young mothers and fathers became the night lamps on the control panel. Most often this is a music mobile, controlled remotely. The night lamp has several modes, which allows you to turn on the glow, melody and set it in motion both simultaneously and use each function separately.

On babies such a suspension has a calming effect, the light above the bed is fascinating, the melody lulls. Parents do not have to get out of bed in the middle of the night to turn the light toy on or off. At any moment, a carousel with lullabies will sing a gentle tune instead of a mother, giving her the opportunity to rest and sleep.

For infants, they often purchase a night light toy. Most often it is a soft doll or animal, glowing with a dim light and not publishing songs, but the sounds of the sea - lulling and pacifying. This product is designed to be placed directly in the crib, in the field of view of the baby.

Often with unusual soft lamps in the form of bunnies and pupae, children do not want to part before the school bench. They are associated with a sense of security and you can sleep in an embrace, as with a regular plush toy.

But a soft lamp can be a traditional desktop design, if designers have worked hard on it. This model is placed outside the crib, for example, on a bedside table beside her or on the table. Usually it has a clock with a clock glowing in the dark, a key switch and a light-off timer, the time for which is set individually.

Parents are also in high demand with nightlights with a CD player that can play your favorite lurid melodies. Such a device saves moms and dads from having to sing lullabies for a long time before bed.

Preschool children already have personal preferences and most often choose night lights in the form of toys, but with additional options, so that going to sleep resembles a fabulous view, rather than a duty. Especially popular with kids is the pillow-night light with a starry sky projector.

These nightlights initially look like a traditional soft toy: a ladybug, a unicorn, a penguin or a dog. They turn into a comfortable pillow after a special velcro is detached, which forms the body of a toy animal. On the back of the soft "living creatures" there is a plastic plate through which the stars and the outlines of the animals are projected onto the dark ceiling.

The night light is powered by several batteries and can be poured in three colors at the same time or alternately. Also available in one color mode to choose from. The light view lasts 20 minutes, after which it is automatically turned off. This period of time is usually enough for the child to fall asleep soundly. Night light in the process of work - a fascinating sight. The ceiling really temporarily turns into a real starry sky over a fairy-tale country called Childhood.

Even adolescents like these lamps for evening use, but they often choose the “Northern Lights” effect, dreaming in silence and in the magical play of light about future travels and achievements.

At a certain childhood age, when the crumb has already learned to walk and is trying to get everything that comes into view, nightlights with a special design help out. These are manual models and fixtures on a clothespin, allowing installation in any convenient place in the room, including at an unattainable height for the child. Timely battery replacement is the only concern for such an unpretentious device.

All models of children's night-light are created in factory conditions and are tested before launching into production and sale, therefore they cannot cost too cheap. Not everyone can afford to buy a specialized lamp in the nursery. Sometimes parents decide the issue of a night lamp in an original way - with the help of an LED strip attached to furniture or in a ceiling plinth.

And even the brightest lamp can be easily turned into a night light, wearing an opaque ceiling lamp on it. Assemble the original lamp as a puzzle for any caring father.

Children's night-lights are made from a wide variety of materials, the quality of which has strict requirements. They should be as natural, safe and fire-resistant (nothing easily flammable in the design).

The materials are mainly wood, plastic and glass. Rattan, bamboo and even paper are less commonly used. With the main three materials should read more.

Glass - it would seem an unacceptable component in the design of a child's lamp. So it is, but if it is the most common of its kind. In the production of children's lighting products, only laminated triplex glass is used. It is an organic material used in the manufacture of windows, balcony blocks and glass doors. An invisible film is applied to this strong glass that holds all the fragments in case of damage to the surface. Perfectly complemented in the design elements of wood. It can be matte, transparent, with pictures, with glitters, colored and figured.

Plastic - the choice of parents who could not convince the safety of glasses in modern lamps. Ideal for those who are growing active heirs. Polymer products are durable like metal, but light as plastic. Such a device does not injure the child and will not break when falling. Modern technologies have made possible the creation of polymer products of any shapes and colors, allowed to give the coating a variety of textures. Lamps are durable and always look fashionable and modern.

Tree - a special material, filled with the warmth of home comfort, allowing the creation of both simple and complex forms, exclusively natural and eco-friendly. It harmonizes with a variety of material components. A real classic of style, including in children's rooms.

It is impossible to buy one lamp for a child at all times. What is suitable for the baby, will not appeal to the preschooler, and the teenager will not be impressed by the design that attracted the baby. Therefore, you need to understand that buying a night lamp is not forever, but what puzzles in life more than once or twice.

When choosing you need to pay attention to the following characteristics of the device:

• Materials used in the design.
• The brightness of the light flux (in the priority diffused, dimmed light).
• Compliance with the design of the age and sex of the child for whom the lamp is purchased.
• The safety of the device is the integrity of the electric wire, the reliability of the fixing of the ceiling, isolated contacts.

• Availability of user manual and certificate of quality, conformity and warranty.
• Reliable factory packaging with information about the manufacturer.
• If the device is multifunctional, it is necessary to check the operation of the player or lighting modes before the calculation.
• Conveniently, if there is a remote control included.

As a nightlight for a nursery, it is advisable to choose devices with halogen or LED bulbs, giving a not bright, soft light. Desktop and wall models with swivel shades are very convenient to use. Not be superfluous and dimmer, allowing you to adjust the power of lighting.

And for girls and older boys it is more convenient to take two devices to place them near the bed of each of the children. If one of the occupants of the room is sleeping, the second can stay awake, turning on the light only on its territory.

It will be better and more correct to provide the choice of night light directly to the child. Among the variety of forms and models, he will unmistakably choose what he likes. The pleasure of a thing chosen independently will be much more, and the dream will definitely be calmer.

Often it is the parents who are actively involved in the design of the room, relying on their own taste or on the knowledge of the hobbies of their son or daughter. But if you understand the diversity of the range is difficult, it is easier to rely on the general preferences of customers.

Boys often take the night light in the form of Tetris, cars, dogs, the moon or a comet.Among the images on glass or plastic are superheroes: Hulk and Ninja, Spiderman, Batman and other modern defenders of the weak and disadvantaged.

Girls in the room get stars, flowers, cats, bunnies, ladybirds, hearts. Popular prints with sweets on glass shades, drawings of berries, princesses, Barbie, the heroine of modern cartoons for children.

Universal design is considered the night-sea turtle with a projector on the back. The device radiates to the ceiling soft, as if the moonlight in the form of a starry sky. By the way, the moon, the star, the sun and the cosmos with the illuminated chameleon are universal models that children like at different ages. Even adolescents love to see the cosmic play from the nightlight in the dark, dreaming of a great future.

Creatively and unusually, the lamp looks like a snail on a table or a large luminous egg, like a creature of an unprecedented world of a large cosmic bird.
