Bed reading lights: Perfect lighting for relaxing hours of reading

The right lighting is the be-all and end-all for cosy reading evenings in bed. Whether you're reading a good book, leafing through a magazine or scrolling on your tablet - the right bedside reading lamp makes all the difference. With the right lighting, you not only protect your eyes, but also create a pleasant and cosy atmosphere.

How to find the right bedside reading lamp - an overview of lamp types

Are you looking for the ideal reading lamp for your bed? Whether flex arm reading lamps with clamp, battery-operated, floor lamps or permanently installed on the wall. You are guaranteed to find what you are looking for with these popular types of reading lamps:

Clamp lights

These models can be easily attached to the edge of the bed or headboard using a practical clamp. This saves valuable space and you benefit from the versatility of a reading light with a flexible arm, which directs the light exactly where you need it.

Wall lights

Are you looking for a permanent light source by the bed? Then this type of lamp is an elegant solution. It is fixed directly to the wall and offers you maximum flexibility with its tilting and swivelling functions to position the light exactly where you want it.

Floor lamps

In a larger bedroom, a floor lamp with a flexible arm is ideal for you. If you place it right next to the bed, it will take up a little more space, but you will benefit from a more powerful light output.

Battery-operated reading lights

If you lack power sockets near your bed, this option is the perfect solution for you. Cordless, battery-operated lights offer you maximum flexibility and mobility, as they work independently of a socket and can be used wherever you need light.

Important features of a bedside reading light

The right bedside reading light provides pleasant light and a high level of comfort. Pay attention to important features that optimise lighting comfort and flexibility for your reading habits. Here you can find out what is important when making your choice.

Flexibility: Most bedside reading lights have flexible light with either a swivelling arm or a bendable neck so that you can direct the light beam precisely onto your book or e-reader.

  • Light colour and brightness: Modern reading lights are often equipped with LEDs that provide you with a warm, pleasant light colour. Many models can be set to different light colours and brightness levels directly on the lamp so that you can adjust the light to suit your individual needs.
  • Energy-saving and long-lasting: Thanks to LED technology, many bedside reading lamps are energy-efficient and long-lasting. LED lights in energy class A consume little electricity and are characterised by their long service life. Look for good energy efficiency when buying to save costs and protect the environment at the same time.
  • Design and style: Bed reading lights are available in various designs - from minimalist and modern to classic or industrial. So you will definitely find the right light for your bedroom.

The right light colour and brightness of bedside lights

The choice of your bedside reading lamp is crucial for your reading comfort. Light colour and brightness play a key role in protecting your eyes and creating a pleasant atmosphere at the same time. But how do you choose the right lamp for your needs?

Light colour: warm, neutral or cold?

The colour temperature of a reading lamp influences your mood and your eyesight. What light colours are there and how do they differ?

  • Warm white (2,700-3,000 K): Creates a cosy and relaxing atmosphere, ideal for reading in the evening.
  • Neutral white (3,300-4,000 K): Supports concentrated and natural colour rendition - perfect for specialist reading or working in bed for long periods.
  • Cool white (over 5,000 K): Promotes alertness, but less suitable for relaxing evenings.

Choose a warm light colour for use in the bedroom to promote a calm environment.

Brightness: How many lumens are needed?

With the right brightness, you can ensure a pleasant reading experience without straining your eyes.

  • Individually adjustable: A lamp with a dimmable function allows you to adjust the brightness as required.
  • 300-500 lumens: The light intensity is sufficient for a bedside reading lamp.
  • Glare-free light: A matt surface or diffuser prevents annoying reflections. Tip: Position the lamp so that the cone of light falls directly on the page of the book without casting shadows.
