How to Choose Wall Mounted Lighting for Your Bedroom   by Joe Tobiasz

Before you start your bedroom wall mounted lighting decision making, you will need some basic tools. You probably have these around the house. What you will need is a pencil, paper and a measuring ruler.

Now give some thought about the way you will be using the bedroom. Decide weather you are going to be using computers, reading while your are lying in bed and for the women, will you be putting Your Makeup on in this room? Do you want the lighting to be able to change the mood of the room? Write this down with your pencil and paper.

The next step is to select where you want to place the wall mounted lighting fixture. My suggestion is to choose places in the room where you will be able to light up work spaces, over the bed for reading, illuminate mirrors or other wall art you have applied to the walls.

Now that you know where and for what purpose you wish to apply your wall mounted lighting, you will need to measure how much space is available for your wall lighting fixture. This will be helpful in deciding what size lighting fixture will be best for the job.
Again, write this down with your pencil and paper.

At this point you should decide on how your new wall lighting should be controlled. You have a few choices. You can go with using a wall switch or a wall dimmer switch.

When it comes to your choice of power source, you can use a wall outlet, but be sure that the outlet is located close to the place on the wall your light will be. Your second choice would be to wire the wall lights directly into the electrical system of your home. If you are not able to do this yourself, there are electricians in your area who will do the wiring job for you. Your third choice is to purchase wall lighting that is self contained. This means that the power source is a battery located inside the wall lighting fixture itself. With the event of LED lighting, you will be able to produce bright light that uses very little power and this will extend battery life.

With what I have written so far in mind, the next decision you should make is choosing a style of wall mounted lighting that will match the theme of the bedroom. Try to find wall fixtures that go with the furniture and wall decorations you already have in the bedroom. You should take your time and explore all the wall mounted lighting possibilities. There is an extremely large amount of these fixtures available to you online. So don’t rush into your final decision.

To give you an idea of what is popular in bedroom wall lighting, a very popular choice is swing arm wall lighting. With swing arm wall lighting you can either mount the fixture to each side of the headboard or on the wall above each side of the headboard. This will make it easy for you to direct light for reading or working while lying in bed.

You also have a choice in the direction of light you would like your wall mounted lighting fixture to aim. You can add a touch of mood enhancing ambiance by installing wall lighting fixtures in which the lighting is directed upward toward the ceiling. By using spotlight or lampshade wall lighting fixtures, you will have your lighting aiming in a downward direction. This is good if you are using the light to perform certain tasks in your bedroom.

Once again, if you are planning on connecting your bedroom wall mounted lighting directly to the electrical system of your home and you are not comfortable with electrical wiring systems, to avoid dangerous situations, have a professional electrician in your area do the job for you.

No matter what your final choice is, you now have before you an idea of how to prepare for choosing wall mounted lighting for your bedroom. I can not stress enough how you should take your time and explore everything that is available to you before you make that final decision.
