Content
LED night light is an original lamp, which has a small cost, if you do it yourself. Today on the market there is a large selection of both children's and adult lamps. All of them are suitable for placement in residential, non-residential premises and even on the streets.
LED night light is a lamp that works on LEDs. LED is a special device that converts electric current into light. The more current passes through it, the brighter it shines. LEDs began to be used in the late 80s. Currently, LEDs are widely distributed in the advertising business, in show programs, in design, in the automotive industry.
There are several types of LEDs:
- multicolor;
- high power LEDs;
- infrared;
- ultraviolet.
They are also divided by color: green, yellow, blue, purple, red, white. They come in different shapes: in the form of a cylinder, square, rectangular shape. There is another classification: COW type diodes, SMD, DIP. The latter include old models. And COW and SMD are new types of LEDs, improved.
LEDs in the interior: benefit or harm
Until today, there is debate about the dangers of LEDs. Some scientists believe that they negatively affect the human psyche, as they are a relatively new and unusual phenomenon for people. They also claim that white LED light spoils vision. However, this applies to low-quality LED lamps and nightlights. To date, the harm of LEDs has not been proven, and some experts who conducted the tests claim that only a poor-quality product can do harm. And he will not serve for long.
It is worth noting that LED lights can be placed in any room. In the workplace, at home, in the country, on the street, in large non-residential premises. They can not only bring a lot of light into a room or office, but also decorate them. For this purpose, LED-lamps are better suited.
Their advantages are as follows: available in various forms, with different colors and in various configurations. In addition, they do not dry the air and consume little electricity. When choosing such lamps it is worth paying attention to the technical characteristics of the lamps. It is also worth considering that cheap LED lamps can quickly fail.
Advantages and varieties of LED nightlights
LED night light has a number of advantages. Its first advantage is that LEDs consume little energy, unlike a fluorescent lamp and an incandescent lamp. They can also give a different color, not just white. Another advantage: they developed a whole LED strip for nightlights, several LEDs are located on it. The LED lamp is divided into two types:
- Those that connect to the network.
- Autonomous models that run on battery power.
They are also usually divided into a children's lamp, nightlights for adults, a nightlight with a motion sensor. Classification by model also occurs.
It should be noted that nightlights made of LED strip can be purchased in the online store or in special stores that sell lamps, chandeliers and other lamps. The price category is different, but basically everything is inexpensive.A large selection is provided in children's nightlights. Bunnies, turtles, bears, the moon, stars and other figures and animals.
An interesting option is an LED night light with a motion sensor. Its advantages are as follows: it gives a bright light that allows you to read and not damage your eyesight, and it saves electrical energy. There are models that work from the outlet, there are also stand-alone ones. Such lamps are often used in non-residential premises, porches, during repairs, on the streets.
It should be borne in mind that the more functions in the fixtures, the more expensive it is. It is important to remember that such lamps should not be placed near electric heaters and radiators. This can not only spoil it, but also harm your health.
What to consider before purchasing?
Before you buy an LED lamp, it is worth considering some points. Quality is determined by the brand. In addition to brands, there are a considerable number of models of these types of nightlights. Particular attention should be paid to the choice of a night lamp with a motion sensor. Before buying, you need to determine the type of light source, the degree of protection, the power of the device. You also need to consider the number of emitters and additional functions.
How to make a DIY LED night light?
Most people think that it’s impossible to make an LED night light. This statement is erroneous. Moreover, to make such a lamp it will take a little time and simple materials.
You must purchase the following:
- diodes;
- resistor;
- non-working fumigator;
- capacitors in the amount of 2 pieces;
- You will also need two super-bright white LEDs.
Now you can start assembling.
The assembly method looks like this: it is necessary to open the case of the old fumigator, remove the heating element from it. Then, in the vacant place, you need to mount the LEDs. The assembly scheme itself can be found freely available on the Internet. It is worth mentioning that a very large resistor provokes considerable active losses, so it is better to choose a small or medium sized resistor.
LED nightlights are not only beautiful, but also economical. Such lamps are mainly mobile, they consume little energy, serve long and reliably. Nightlights are inexpensive, moreover, they can be done with your own hands.
