Bedroom lighting serves two conflicting purposes: you need bright light to get dressed or clean, but you need low, soothing light to relax before sleep. The secret lies in "layering" your light sources and choosing the right colour temperature. At LiquidLEDs, we supply the specific bulbs needed to balance function with deep relaxation.
Zone 1: The Bedside (Task & Mood)
Your bedside lamp is the last light you see before sleeping. It needs to be bright enough to read a book, but soft enough to prevent eye strain or wakefulness.
Zone 2: General Illumination (The Practical Layer)
This is your main ceiling light (pendant or oyster light) used for dressing, cleaning, or finding things in the wardrobe.
- Best Choice: Standard B22 Bayonet or E27 Screw Bulbs.
- Why: These provide wide beam angles to fill the room with light. We recommend using a dimmer here to soften the room in the evening.
The "Sleep Rule": Warm vs Cool White
We strictly recommend avoiding "Cool White" or "Daylight" bulbs in the bedroom. These emit high levels of blue light, which suppresses melatonin (the sleep hormone). Instead, choose:
- Warm White (2700K): The standard for comfort. Soft, inviting, and practical.
- Extra Warm White (2200K): The ultimate "sunset" glow. Ideal for bedside lamps to signal to your brain that it is time to sleep.
Why Upgrade to Dimmable LEDs?
A bedroom without a dimmer is a missed opportunity. Installing Dimmable LED Bulbs allows you to transition your space from "Getting Ready" brightness to "Wind Down" ambience instantly. All our bedroom bulbs are tested with major Australian dimmers (like Diginet and Clipsal) to ensure flicker-free performance.
