Children's ceiling light: Create a comforting cocoon!
Children's bedrooms, and especially nurseries, can be places where little ones tend to feel afraid during the first few months of their lives. A fear of the dark, or occasional separation anxiety.
You cannot imagine how much a LED ceiling light, with a night light function adjustable with a dimmer and temperature control, can make the atmosphere of their little room soothing and comforting. Whether you opt for a ceiling light in the shape of a teddy bear, recessed star-shaped spotlights, or a lovely round children's ceiling light in the shape of a globe, you will find a wide range of choices in our online store for lighting a child's bedroom.
A child's bedroom with an original ceiling light!
Nowadays, you can find a wide range of light fixtures in a variety of shapes. Whether for little girls or boys, we offer models of chandeliers and LED floor lamps for children, creating calm and soothing lighting atmospheres that help them fall asleep.
Would you also like to know the advantages of new-technology light fixtures for children? It is the ability to adjust the light flow and brightness. When your child becomes a little more independent, they will be able to adjust their direct lighting themselves between white light for doing homework or reading, and a soothing yellow light, such as a LED night light. This is made possible by smart bulb technology and energy-efficient LEDs.
Ceiling lights in all shapes for children!
Children are naturally curious, and ceiling lights can help teach them about the beauty of our world. Amazing, isn't it? But with all the shapes available, your children will certainly see them in every color! You will find excellent value for money among our available models.
This includes, in particular:
Abstract shapes - This is the most classic art deco for a nursery. Children's ceiling lights and baby lights in the shape of clouds, suns, or waves are lamp models that evoke nature and its beauty, while also providing a brightness and decor perfectly suited to a child's room.
Modular ceiling lights for children: Recessed models with cubes, stars, or circles can distribute and balance the brightness throughout the room. Some of these models are even adjustable! To change things up and vary their placement, you can rearrange these small recessed spotlights on the wall to delight your little one and shake up their visual routine.
Animal shapes: Designer light fixtures in the shape of a rabbit, cat head, owl, or little lion are quite common, and babies and young children adore them!
You will also find in our collection ceiling light models in the shape of a princess, football, pirate... matching the personality of your little adventurers!
The LED bulb: optimal lighting for a ceiling light in a child's room
In the past, incandescent bulbs were popular in chandeliers and ceiling lights for children's rooms. But nowadays, halogen bulbs and especially LED bulbs are very popular. Not only do they use up to 90% less energy than their predecessors, but they are also capable of providing soft, adjustable lighting. These are called "dimmable" bulbs and are connected to a dimmer switch.
Here are the advantages of using LED technology in your children's room:
-
The bulb withstands switching (when the child plays with the switch, there is no risk of the bulb burning out, as there is no tungsten filament).
-
These bulbs do not contain highly toxic mercury.
-
This light source provides optimal lighting and a cosy atmosphere.
-
The low energy consumption of these bulbs allows for significant energy savings.
What level of brightness is needed for a child's room?
Generally, it is said that you should multiply the number of square meters by 130 to obtain the appropriate number of lumens. If your child's room is 17 square meters, allow about 2200 lumens. Opt for a ceiling light with 4 adjustable spotlights or 4 bulbs, each providing about 440 lumens.
You can also opt for a ceiling light with E14 bulbs providing about 1,000 lumens, as well as other designer pendant lights, bedside lamps, or wall lights to complete the remaining light intensity.
What color should a child's ceiling light be?
If your child is still too young to discuss their preferences in terms of color and design, you can offer them ceiling lights in generic colors suited to the tastes of little ones their age. Generally, in a baby's room, you tend to see LED lighting in shades of blue for boys and pink for girls, but the colors can come in a very wide range.
As the child grows up, they will be able to express their preferences, and you can choose a home lighting model that suits their tastes and personality. This will create a warm atmosphere with the added bonus of a designer ceiling light!
What material should a child's ceiling light be made of?
If there is a risk of breakage or damage, such as with a fairly low ceiling, we recommend a plastic ceiling light. Whether made of acrylic or polycarbonate, these materials are more flexible and less fragile than fabric, glass, or metal. Furthermore, glass risks causing injuries if it breaks, as do stainless steel or aluminum.
Plastic is also less expensive, making it a good choice if you only plan to keep it for a few years (3 or 5 years), for example if you want to install a baby ceiling light in the shape of a cloud in a room. After a few years, your child will probably want a different light fixture or pendant light!
At that point, we will also be able to offer you a wide range of interior ceiling lights in wood, fabric, metal, or rattan, depending on your daughter's or son's preferences. Light-colored wood recessed models are very popular with young children, especially when they feature lovely designs.
Metal ceiling lights in different colors are also a good choice, as they create a warm atmosphere in any room where they are placed. Your child will probably be mature enough to also have a preference in terms of era and style, which could be an industrial look, the Scandinavian style with a light-colored wooden ceiling light, or another type of contemporary model.
