Night lights are distinguished not only in appearance but also in the type of lighting, which directly depends on the lamps. Lamps, in turn, differ not only in the type of light - soft and warm or cold, but also in the type of models, functional characteristics and properties.

Let us consider in more detail all types of lamps suitable for nightlights.

This type of lamps appeared before everything else and for a very long time had no worthy counterparts in the electronics and home appliances market. The power of such a lamp can vary from 15 to 300 watts.

Incandescent lamps are divided into two types:

1. Krypton Lamps contain inert gas corresponding to the name. The power of this type of lamps, although it has a limit of 40 to 100 W, but this does not affect the light output - it is believed that it is the strongest of krypton lamps.
2. Biped lamps have a much higher degree of light output, thanks to a special tungsten filament.

In addition, incandescent lamps can have both a transparent glossy and darkened matte surface. Frosted lamps have less light output, but are more popular because they emit more pleasant diffused light.

This type of lamp is provided by luminescence due to phosphors, which, in turn, begin to glow under the influence of ultraviolet radiation and some gas elements. The lamps, although they do not have a transparent surface, are still quite bright and study a rather pleasant, soft light. This type of lamp is called energy-saving, since the light emission from them is several times greater than that of incandescent lamps, but at the same time, fluorescent lamps have much lower energy consumption.

Perhaps the most powerful in brightness varieties of lamps for lamps, as well as the most versatile and common. In addition, the lamps have not only a different size, but also a different shape, due to which the lighting can be diffused or concentrated at one point. These lamps are used not only to provide lighting, but also as an element of the decor of a night lamp.

This type of lamp is also very popular, which is due to low power consumption. In addition, they have high light output and long service life. The advantages can be attributed to the fact that nightlights with LED lamps may well work on solar batteries, being at the same time no less functional than any others. And also the fact that these lamps are resistant to sudden temperature changes.

As is known, the most common and large producer of such products is China. Chinese-made lamps and night-lights have a low cost, but, unfortunately, this is quite often reflected in the quality of the products. More expensive are Korean, Japanese, German and even Russian lighting fixtures, the quality of which is at a higher level, thanks to which the products will be able to serve for much longer time.

To choose a stylish nightlight for the bedroom does not need to have any special knowledge, but all there is several lifehacks and tips to listen to:

• The luminaire must comply with the dimensions of the room. If a small item in a spacious bedroom is still acceptable, then a too massive night light in a tiny room will look out of place and, most likely, will negatively affect the visual perception of space, simply eating it.
• The lighting fixture must match the age of the bedroom occupant. For example, children's models of “Antibabayka” will look out of place in the bedroom for adults, and the kid may simply not like the elaborate product in the classical style.

• To illuminate the corridor, you should use small lamps, the switch of which is located in the room or close to its door. This solution will be very convenient, since you do not have to run to the other end of the corridor to turn off the lights before going to bed.
• In addition, choosing night lights for the home, you should be more careful to get acquainted with the functional characteristics, operating instructions and permissible lamp power. Only if all the rules are followed, the product will serve you for many years.

• An unusual solution for a modern bedroom is a night light mounted behind the head of the bed. Such lighting is enough for reading before bedtime, and for evening spending time in a cozy bedroom.
• The interior of the light bedroom with turquoise decorative elements is perfectly complemented by two bedside night lamps located on the wall in the side areas of the bed.

• A very unusual, but very elegant and romantic solution for the bedroom - a night lamp with a round openwork shade. Light scatters through beautiful holes, forming incredibly beautiful, fabulous patterns on the walls.
• The night wall lamp in the form of a cat sitting on a crescent moon looks unusual and elegant. This product will fit perfectly, as in the bedroom for adults, and in the nursery or teenage room.
