Children’s - a subject of special concern of parents, because of how the child grows in, depends on its development. A beautiful room, designed in compliance with all the laws of harmony, will help the child to develop properly. But it is especially important to comply with the requirements for children's premises with sanitary standards, and, first of all, it concerns lighting in the children's room.
Daylight
First of all, the child’s room should be well lit during the day. Particular attention - the workplace, where lessons are made. It is desirable that it is located at the window. The more will be the daytime lights in the children's room - all the better. But you can not overdo it.
If the windows face south, in the daytime it is better to shade them with transparent curtains, so as not to create an excessive eye strain. Ideal daytime lighting for the nursery - windows facing south-east.
If the nursery looks to the north with windows, there are two options to increase daylight: use reflective surfaces and white as the main finish, or increase the window opening, which is more troublesome and expensive, but much more efficient.
Central lighting
Usually, a central luminaire is combined in the room with several additional ones - wall lamps or floor lamps that illuminate certain areas, for example, a working or recreation area.
For lighting in the children's room It is advisable to also use spotlights located along the perimeter of the ceiling so that the whole area of the room is lit equally well, as children climb into the farthest corners of the room when playing, and it is important that they also have the opportunity not to strain their eyes.
Work light
The most stringent requirements for the light in the children's room makes a working area. To preserve vision, it is necessary to correctly position the table lamp; it should not create shadows on the working surface of the table. It is necessary to choose the necessary power of the illuminant, and also to avoid the ingress of light from the lamp directly into the eyes, for which purpose place it below eye level.
If you hang shelves above the workplace, then uniform lighting of the desktop can be obtained using spotlights located at their bottom.
Additional lighting
Lighting for the children's room should not be limited to functional lights alone. Here decorative lamps in the form of lighthouses for “marine” design, or luminous toys for the youngest children are appropriate.
Floor lamps
With the help of a floor lamp, you can select a zone for games or a work zone. You can also mark the area near the bed with light so that by plunging the rest of the room into the gloom, the child can better prepare for bed.
The main requirements for such lamps - safety. Fixtures used for lighting in the children's room, must be stable, not contain easily breakable elements, in case the lamp is broken, there should be no small and sharp fragments from it. Wires and cords should be removed as much as possible so that the child could not get tangled in them and drop them.
Night Lights
Separate theme - night light in the children's room. The power of the night light should not be large so as not to interfere with sleep. At the same time, too little light can create frightening little kids shadows. Usually night lamps for children are made in the form of toys that glow in the dark.
As a night light, you can use lamps-bras, located at the head of the bed. If you equip them with a dimmer switch, they will immediately perform two functions: first, at full power of the lamp, you can read a book or look through a magazine, and then, reducing the brightness to a minimum, use a wall lamp instead of a night lamp.
Most importantly, arranging nursery lighting - Do not forget about the safety of the child, and carefully check the compliance of lamps with all requirements.
