1. How Lighting Affects Your Sleep Cycle

Your bedroom lighting directly impacts melatonin production, which controls your sleep-wake cycle.

✔ Bright, cool-toned light (4000K+) at night can disrupt melatonin, making it harder to fall asleep.
✔ Warm, dimmable lighting (2700K-3000K) supports relaxation and helps you wind down before bed.

💡 Fact: Studies from Harvard Medical School show that exposure to high-CCT (correlated color temperature) lighting in the evening delays sleep onset by reducing melatonin levels.

2. Choosing the Right Color Temperature: The Science Behind 2700K-3000K

The ideal range for bedroom lighting is 2700K-3000K, which mimics sunset tones and encourages natural melatonin production.

📌 Why This Range Works:
✔ 2700K (Warm White): Best for creating a cozy, relaxing atmosphere before bed.
✔ 3000K (Soft White): A slightly cooler warmth, great for reading without strain.

💡 Pro Tip: Use dimmable LED bulbs so you can adjust brightness based on time of day—bright for morning routines, soft and warm for bedtime.

3. Why Glare-Free Diffusion Matters

Many traditional ceiling lights create harsh downward glare, causing visual discomfort and disrupting sleep prep.

✨ Solution: Edge-Lit or Diffused Lighting
✔ Softens shadows for a gentler ambiance
✔ Even light distribution eliminates eye strain
✔ Reduces “light pressure” from overhead fixtures

💡 Example: The Zepboo DreamCanopy uses an edge-glow diffusion design, preventing overhead glare while maintaining sufficient illumination.

4. How to Position Ceiling Lights for Optimal Comfort

A common mistake in bedroom lighting is installing ceiling lights too high or too low, leading to uneven brightness.

📏 Height Formula for Proper Installation:
🌟 Ceiling Height (m) × 0.8 = Ideal Distance from Floor to Light Fixture

✔ Example: If your bedroom ceiling is 2.7m high, the bottom of your ceiling light should be:
2.7m × 0.8 = 2.16m from the floor

💡 Pro Tip: Use low-profile, flush-mount fixtures for modern aesthetics and space efficiency, especially in bedrooms with standard ceiling heights.
