The best sunset lamps to brighten your bedroom
So it can be golden hour every hour
It’s time to face the facts: the main light is out, mood lighting is in, and sunset lamps are TikTok’s latest obsession. All over my FYP, these multi-coloured orbs are lighting up carefully curated bedrooms everywhere.
Ambient lighting is a great way to level up your interior game and change the vibe of any space, but it can also be helpful when battling the winter blues. Sunset lamps will help bring the outdoors in and could have a similar effect as SAD lamps in helping provide that extra light the winter months seriously lack.
How do sunset lamps work?
These lamps work as spotlight projectors, beaming hues of colour onto your walls and ceilings to emulate the ambience of a natural sunset. Although most lamps use orange and yellow projections for that true sunshine feel, some offer a wide variety of colours, from pink to green to blue, so your sunset can reflect your mood.
Now, these lamps may look small but the light they omit can cover entire walls if you angle them properly (and it’s widely known that all good things come in small packages). So, if you’re looking to deck out your digs without breaking the bank, a sunset lamp may be the perfect solution.
