The main types of nightlights
The main task of night lighting is to provide a subdued light. It is known that the pupils of human eyes at night and at dusk dilate significantly in order to distinguish the outlines of objects in the dark. Due to this physiological feature, more light rays enter the retina. Turning on a bright light abruptly puts a huge strain on the retina and optic nerve, which can lead to high blood pressure, headaches, and insomnia.
When a bright light is suddenly turned on, a load on the optic nerve is created
Nightlights create a weak and diffused luminous flux, while nightlights with interesting lighting add spectacular accents. By the type of power supply, stand-alone and network models are distinguished. Depending on the light source, a distinction is made between LED and fiber optic luminaires. Both are capable of providing low dim light, low power consumption and minimal heating. Discharge lamps and incandescent lamps are not used in modern nightlights for the following reasons:
- high power consumption;
- the possibility of heating the lamp body, potential fire hazard;
- short lifespan, since both types of lamps cannot stand frequent on-off;
- bright light, it is impossible to adjust the intensity;
- lamps break and are dangerous, especially in children's rooms.
Bedside lamps and incandescent lamps are not used
Safe nightlights - how to tell them apart
Safety is important, especially if a night light with interesting lighting will be installed in a nursery. Many modern models involve direct contact of the child with the device, since the lamps are more like toys than an interior item. A safe night light for a nursery has the following features:
- runs on batteries, uses low amperage;
- has a durable body that the child cannot disassemble or damage on his own;
- has no smell;
- shines only with diffused light, keeping children's eyes healthy.
Choose bedside lamps only with diffused light.
IN bedroom adults or in corridor models that operate on the network are appropriate, however, they must also be made of environmentally friendly materials and emit only diffused light.
Variety of night lights
There are hundreds of different models of night lights, but they can be divided into several groups with similar characteristics.
LED network night lights
Such devices are compact in size, operate from the network, while the power consumption is so low that you can forget about it for several days and not feel overspending. In such devices withLEDs covered with a decorative overlay that diffuses light in various variations. There are models in which the plug is connected to a decorative element, that is, the night light illuminates the area in front of the outlet. This is convenient if power socket located in an open area and is not suitable if hidden by curtains or furniture... A significant plus of such models is the light is very weak and diffused, this option is ideal for bedrooms and corridors.

Optical fiber night lights
Fiber optic lights are considered to be among the safest. Fiber-optic nightlights with interesting lighting consume a minimum amount of energy, since the fiberglass, of which the fibers are composed, are able to conduct and scatter light with virtually no loss. In such bedside lamps, sometimes just one LED is enough to create a bright installation, if the composition is one-color.
It is with the help of optical fiber that waterfalls, cascades and fireworks are created. The light is reflected from different angles, striking walls, ceiling and curtains. At the same time, the rays are so soft and weak that they do not irritate the eyes at all. Such devices are most often powered by batteries, since their power consumption is low.

Projectors
Nightlights in the form of projectors with interesting lighting are a traditional solution for children's rooms. Unlike fiber optic models, they can be used to create not only abstract highlights, but also complete plot compositions. Very popular are "Star Turtles" - bedside lamps in the form of a soft toy with a built-in projector lamp. The body of this device is made of lightweight and durable carbon fiber, which does not heat up, does not emit odor and does not break.
The most popular themes for projectors are star and space motives, rainbows, flower motives. When choosing a projector lamp, you should pay attention to the color scheme, giving preference to white, blue and green shades.
