Night Light Projector

The quality of sleep depends on the arrangement of the bedroom. In addition to the usual pieces of furniture, it is often used special lamps, creating a relaxing atmosphere. One of these accessories is a night light projector, a special device popular with children and adults. This device has its differences from the classic lamps and a number of advantages.

The night projector lamp is a special device with a soft glow that creates a relaxing atmosphere. The appearance of such a night light can be very diverse: depending on the design, it can resemble a geometric shape or a soft toy. However, in any case, this is a multifunctional product with an unusual effect in the form of a projection of different subjects.

The projection is transmitted in two ways:

• by glowing LED lamps on a reflective surface, projecting the image on the walls;
• the passage of diffused light through a slide or a dark surface with a pattern.

Such lamp:

• has in the arsenal from one to four or more different shades of color (basic: white, green, blue, orange);
• can transmit different pictures using a fixed or moving transmission mode (monotonous image sliding in a circle of a ceiling or walls);
• in most models, it is equipped with a soundtrack function, immersing the user in a special atmosphere;
• Depending on the model, it has the function of interchangeable slides, a timer and a clock, as well as the ability to record and play any sound.

Since table lamps are not able to create the right type of light and hit the eyes, harming the retina and the optic nerve, brands offer a wide range of different night lights, among which the projector is one of the most unusual.

It is no secret that many kids from an early age are afraid of the dark, subconsciously drawing bloodthirsty monsters in the dark corners of the room, which affects the quality of sleep.

Depending on the model, the projector lamp helps:

• remove the child's nervous tension associated with the fear of darkness;
• relax your body and distract your head from extraneous thoughts;
• set up a positive before bedtime (get rid of nightmares and overload with daily information);
• find the necessary items in the room, not including the main light, able to wake up the household.

Such development differs from ordinary night lamps, these projectors:

• are fascinating devices that can adjust the desired mood at bedtime, not only children but also adults;
• they relieve the room from dark corners, as they light up almost all of it;
• they are compact and lightweight, which is mobile and can be located anywhere in the room;
• they do not harm the eyes, as they have soft light and “correct” shades;
• diverse in the choice of topics of slides, having an approach to users of different ages;

• in addition to colorful slides and soundtracks in the form of lullaby songs, they are equipped with the sounds of nature, animals, birds, and the sound of the ocean;
• depending on the model, they are considered to be a cognitive device, acquainting a baby with different objects (stars, planets, sea creatures, animals, fairy-tale characters, etc.);
• transform any room into a special room of the house;
• are a great gift theme for young parents and families with children.

Children like these nightlights, they are convenient for replacing a stencil for projection. Some models provide for the replacement of LEDs, if any element burned out. Night projectors prolong the work of ordinary pendant lamps, eliminating their frequent switching on and off during the night. The advantages of some models include the presence of an adapter and cord, which makes it possible to power the device from a network or computer.

Not every model of night light projector can be called successful. Often it is the variegation of the projection is a disturbing factor to sleep. In the evening, the child needs a calm atmosphere, however, there are models that are more reminiscent of the disco mode, especially if supplemented with energetic music.

Not all variants of such nightlights are made of harmless material. For example, plastic devices release toxins into the air when they are heated, which is harmful to health.Often in such lamps suffers build quality. You need to use them as carefully as possible.

Other disadvantages include taking into account the location: the quality of the projected image is directly dependent on the remoteness of the lamp from the wall (the picture turns into incomprehensible spots, losing clarity of outlines). The projection bedside lamps on batteries are safe, however, they do not last long: as soon as the baby begins to be interested in them, they are removed in order to avoid breakage and injury to the child. Some models have not enough rigid case, as well as low power LEDs.

The projection models of nightlights are different. Their type of attachment is different and can be:

• wall - option as a sconce;
• desktop - model with installation on a horizontal type of surface (table, bedside cabinet, floor);
• clothespin - bedside type lamp mounted on the side wall of the crib;
• plug-in model into the outlet.

Each type is unique in its own way: some products are laconic, others imply removability of parts, and others - the sensor mode, the response to crying, voice, movement.Some "smart" species can independently adjust the intensity of illumination, smooth shutdown and silence of the sound.

Different and materials manufacturing models of projectors.

• They can be made of environmentally friendly wood raw materials (for example, birch plywood). Such products are painted with special water-based paints, which do not contain harmful impurities, toxic substances and salts of heavy metals.
• In addition, in the production of trademarks used ceramics, plastic, cloth and glass.

By age, the lineup of projectors nightlights is divided into three groups:

• for babies from 0 to 3 years;
• for toddlers and preschoolers;
• for schoolchildren, including teenagers.

Variants of nightlights with a projecting function for small children are made of plastic with no small parts, and in most cases they have a streamlined shape. These are the lamps working on batteries, having fixing in the form of a collar or clothespins. Mobiles are different in shape and design.They can be concise, compact, implying only the projection version of the LED lamp without excesses.

Other models are mobile carousel with toys. In such devices, the nightlight projector is located in the center, has openings on the top, so it can in no way harm the eyes of a baby. During the day it is a toy with built-in musical melodies, at night it is a special, magical lamp.

These devices are more difficult, depending on the model, can be equipped with electronics that allow programming for different modes of operation. These are predominantly musical projection lamps with surround sound technology and large, simple drawings, on which one can see the clear contours of lines, the outlines of the eyes, the form, and emotions of the character.

If for some reason a child cannot sleep without light at that age, trademarks offer different models for sale, including more “adults”.These models are remarkable slides with astronomical maps, detailed images of the surface of the planets, allowing to give an impetus to the child to explore the cosmic expanses and distract from fear.

Often, the set of functions includes a clock, alarm clock, thermometer and calendar.

Thanks to the efforts of trademarks that take into account all the preferences of customers, models differ in appearance and have a rich model range. In addition to the fact that they do not have sharp corners, which can be injured, the products have a different design in the form of:

• soft toys (turtles, hedgehog, butterflies, elephant, hippopotamus, ladybug, flying saucer);
• plastic toys (in the form of an asterisk, a monkey, a magic tortoise, a snail, an egg, a spaceship, a flower);
• rounded products (a ball, a semicircle on a stand);
• laconic cylindrical projectors on the stand without reference to different age.
