Each species has its own characteristics.

For example, children's decorative wall lights are more adornment, so they can be point-like, constituting a specific composition.

Functional options for the desk are stricter and are thought out in such a way as not to interfere with the concentration of attention of the child.

Night lights are a special line of sconces.Initially, they were invented to help parents of children: it was not necessary to constantly climb at night to turn on the light, looking at the condition of the baby. However, if the nightlights are used constantly, they can harm the psyche of the baby, causing the fear of the darkness associated with discomfort when there is no light.

  • for girl;
  • for boy;
  • universal.

A separate topic is the plot of the model-projectors. The projection can be laconic (in the form of stars, bears, toys) or complex (with a sky map). Among the pictures are particularly attractive depths of the sea with the inhabitants and the plant world of the distant past (dinosaurs).

Materials

In the manufacture of sconces for the children's room use different raw materials.

A popular type of material offered for sale by trademarks are metal, plastic, plastic, glass, wood. Model projectors in the form of toys are made of soft fabric with a pleasant texture that is no different from ordinary toys.

Lamps

The choice of model is not based solely on external indicators. What matters is the type of lamp and the temperature of the light flux. Not all light sources are suitable for children and home use.

Produced models involve the use of lamps:

  • incandescent - shine less than heat;
  • halogen - in general, worthy of consideration to purchase;
  • LED - best for wall sconces;
  • luminescent - dangerous to health, release mercury into the air.

The temperature of the light flux should be as natural, soft and warm (about 4000 K). Too yellow tint is harmful and depressing, cold beats on the eyes.

How to choose?

Today, it is not a problem to choose a sconce for a child’s room. Despite the huge list of functions, a lot of thematic techniques and sweet advertising of sellers, it is worth starting from several principles, paying attention to:

  • appointment. Sconces for the desk is simpler in design, should have a brighter illumination than a night light;
  • safe type of work. For babies, this is a battery-powered model with a closed canopy and no disassembly;
  • The “correct” type of lamp with uniform dispersion of the luminous flux is an exception to flicker, which has a harmful effect on the eyes;
  • optimal design (harmony with the existing furniture in color or style) and the absence of mirror elements of the structure;
  • the absence of bulky and sharp elements of the structure in order to avoid injury to the child with an accidental mechanical touch;
  • the ability to adjust the brightness is a convenient factor that helps to "turn" the lamp into a night light if necessary;
  • the functionality of the device, designed for multiple on and off and its compatibility with electronic control systems;
  • The “correct” type of material is safe for the health of the child;
  • convenient work system (simple switch, simple to control);
  • age of the child. Products for babies are completely out of place in the room of a high school student or teenager;
  • the optimal cost of the lamp, as there is no sense to overpay for advertising, if the functionality of the models is the same.

Having dealt with the basic principles, it is worth remembering that the purchase is carried out in a proven store with a good reputation. If possible, you can scroll through the reviews, get acquainted with the approximate prices of brands for your favorite model.

Availability of documentation (certificate of quality and compliance with safety standards) is an important factor in favor of the quality of the goods. Purchase of such devices is carried out personally: it is always possible to check the product at work.

An important caveat: when buying a nightlight with built-in music, you should definitely check every tune: the sound should not be annoying, the melodiousness of the compositions is appreciated. Harsh and fast melodies, which instead of a relaxing environment create the opposite effect, are unacceptable.
