LED lighting and healthy sleep: how to create a relaxing atmosphere in the bedroom

Good quality sleep plays a crucial role in everyday life, affecting mental and physical well-being and overall comfort. One factor that has a significant impact on the quality of sleep is the lighting in the bedroom. How do you choose it? Read the article and find out what to look out for.

LED lighting and healthy sleep: how to create a relaxing atmosphere in the bedroom - 1

Of course, many factors could be to blame for our sleepless nights. Environmental influences include noise, heat, and a change of time zone, as well as bad habits such as irregular sleeping times, eating heavy meals before bed, and vitamin deficiency.
Lighting also affects our circadian rhythm, the biological clock that regulates sleep and wakefulness cycles. Blue light from TV screens, tablets, phones, computer monitors and some light sources, among others, inhibits the secretion of melatonin – the hormone that regulates sleep – which can lead to trouble falling asleep. 

 

Relaxing atmosphere in the bedroom – LED lighting 

LED lighting has many advantages over traditional light sources. First, LEDs are energy efficient, which translates into lower electricity bills. LEDs also have a longer lifespan and are more environmentally friendly as they do not contain harmful substances such as mercury. But most importantly for healthy sleep, LED lighting allows you to adjust the colour and intensity of the light, creating the ideal conditions for rest.
Consider using several smaller strategically placed lamps instead of a single central light source. Table lamps, plug-in lamps and wall-mounted luminaires offer various lighting options that can be adapted to different activities and times of day. Such a multi-layered lighting system creates a cosy and relaxing atmosphere in the bedroom.
In addition to standard light sources, opt for lamps that can be easily plugged into a socket. This will ensure that you can quickly get more light where you need it at any time. They can act as both night lighting (ideal for parents of young children) and accent lighting. Kanlux ORISA LED is an elegant plug-in lamp with a twilight sensor that emits a soft light of 5 lumens that does not disturb sleep.

Smart lighting – Kanlux SMART 

A bedroom is usually not only a place to sleep but also a space to relax in the evening, read a book or work during the day. For this reason, look for solutions that allow you to adjust the lighting to a specific activity while maintaining consistency. Kanlux GALOBA is a series of lighting fittings that includes suspended lamps, wall-mounted luminaires and wall & ceiling luminaires (from 1 to 4 light points). Importantly, all the lamps have a detachable shade, making changing the bulbs convenient.
Kanlux SMART bulbs are ideal for this series. They are a light source that allows for the full personalisation of your lighting. They are controlled by a mobile app and have dimming and smooth light and colour control functions. With Kanlux SMART, you can create schedules and combine them with other SMART devices. Going to bed and forgetting to turn off the lights? You can control it easily from your phone or with a voice assistant. 

 LED lighting offers vast room for personalisation. With a variety of forms, styles and functions, they can be perfectly adapted to any interior, regardless of the preferred decorative style. In addition, modern LED systems are often equipped with light intensity and colour change functions, allowing the lighting to be adapted to different needs.

Evening relaxation with a book – wall-mounted luminaires and table lamps 

The colour of light is of great importance for our well-being. Light sources with a warm colour, i.e. a colour temperature in the range of 2500–3300 K, work best in the bedroom. Warm light promotes relaxation and helps you to calm down before bedtime. It is also important to be able to adjust the brightness. The later, the dimmer and warmer the light should be. Adjusting these two features will also make getting up in the morning more pleasant – the cooler colour and higher intensity help you wake up and give you energy.
Wall-mounted luminaires are wall-mounted lighting that can act as both main and decorative lighting. Wall-mounted luminaires are an excellent choice for bedrooms, as they can be placed on the walls next to the bed and create a cosy and practical place to rest. Choosing wall-mounted luminaires with adjustable light angle and intensity is a good idea. Kanlux TONIL LED II is characterised by a flexible rubber arm that allows it to direct the light to any place. This is an option for all those who enjoy their evening reading.

In addition to wall-mounted luminaires, table lamps are also perfect for evening relaxation. Placed on a bedside table, they emit warm and subdued light without tiring the eyes and create a cosy atmosphere. Kanlux FLUXY LED is a wireless table lamp. Thanks to the USB charging option, the dimming function, and many colours, it is an ideal choice for the bedroom and the nursery. This lamp has a very modern yet elegant design, is lightweight and easy to transport, and is ideal for outdoor use thanks to its IP44 rating. 

 


The right LED lighting can significantly improve the quality of sleep and overall comfort in the bedroom. LED plug-in lamps, table lamps and wall-mounted luminaires offer a wide range of possibilities for adjusting the colour and intensity of the light to create the ideal conditions for relaxation. When choosing bedroom lighting, look for warm, subdued light and adjustable brightness to create a relaxing atmosphere conducive to a healthy night's sleep. With these simple principles, we can significantly improve the quality of our sleep and enjoy a better sense of well-being.
