Perfect Lighting for Your Kid’s Room no comments
Posted at 12:47 am in Products
There are several factors to consider when working on how to light up your child’s room. These factors would be age, room size, and décor. Of these three, it is the age of the child that is most important. From 0 to 9 months or before the child starts walking, you can safely use a table lamp. Once the baby becomes a toddler, it’s time to pull out the lamps and install either wall lights or ceiling lights.
If your child is over 10 years old and can be depended on to be careful with toys and small appliances, and then you can bring back a study table lamp so it’s easy for him to work on a table or read a book. At this age, they also appreciate having some control over night lights and use them to keep the “monsters” away.
If you want to get your child involved in the selection, make it clear that it is a joint decision and you get to decide if there’s a stalemate. Explain that it’s more because of safety than denying what she wants.
In the selection, it is best to go with modern lighting technology and avoid exposed bulbs. A child can get burned from touching a hot bulb. This is why ceiling light is generally the acceptable kind of lighting for a child’s room. Also, if it boils down to a choice of a pretty lamp over less space, choose more space because children will appreciate this more.
The latest study released by consumer groups regarding those tiny night lights which you plug directly onto an outlet reveal that they are a fire hazard. It is best to avoid them altogether and just give your child a kiddie flashlight instead.
Finally, make sure you get a certified electrician to go over the wiring on the room or even the entire house, if necessary. With a child around, the need to be extra cautious is heightened.
