TL;DR

Great bedroom lamps layer ambient + task + accent light. Target 1,000–2,000 lm room-wide, with 2700–3000K as your default mood. Use two bedside lamps at 400–600 lm each, add a floor or wall lamp to fill corners, and keep CRI≥90 for natural color.

Create a Lighting Layer Cake

1. Ambient (base layer): Table/floor lamps with wide shades or diffusers to lift the whole room.

2. Task (focused): Adjustable heads for reading, journaling, or laptop time.

3. Accent (mood): Low-output lamps or RGB edge glow to highlight textures, art, or plants.

Quick math

• Small rooms (≤12 m²): Aim for ~1,000–1,400 lm total, split across 2–3 lamps.

• Medium (13–18 m²): 1,400–1,800 lm.

• Large (19–25 m²): 1,800–2,400+ lm.

Color & Comfort

• CCT: 2700–3000K for sleep-friendly warmth. Add a 3500K task spot if you read often.

• CRI: ≥90 keeps skin tones and fabrics faithful; avoids the "flat" look.

• Dimming: Essential. Look for memory recall so your lamp remembers last level.

Controls & Power Options

• Touch dimming for quick on/off in the dark.

• Hotel-style top switch for consistent UX across rooms.

• Rechargeable for rental units or rooms with limited outlets.

• Smart options: Schedules, sunrise/sunset routines, voice scenes.

Safety & Certifications

Choose bedroom lamps with region-appropriate compliance (e.g., CE/UKCA/ETL) and stable bases. For rechargeable units, confirm over‑charge/over‑discharge protections and certified battery cells.

Materials & Aesthetics

• Acrylic diffusers: Even, soft glow; durable for homes and hospitality.

• Glass domes: Premium feel; pair with lower output to control glare.

• Fabric shades: Timeless; pick tighter weaves for better cutoff.

Energy & Sustainability

• High-efficacy LEDs, long-life drivers

• Battery replaceability on portable models

• Solar‑assisted or hybrid charging options

• FSC/PEFC packaging, minimal plastics

Bedroom Lamp Picks by Need (Yunlu examples)

• Minimalist acrylic bedside lamp: Frosted cylinder, stepless dimming, CRI≥90.
