If in doubt about the setup, have it checked by an electrician.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"LED neon or ceiling light for an adult bedroom?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The two do not have the same role: the ceiling light lights the whole room, the neon decorates and accompanies. In an adult bedroom, a low, even ceiling light in the centre, complemented by a neon above the headboard or the desk, covers both the need to see clearly and the evening atmosphere.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Where to place a neon for a decor bedroom?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Above the headboard with indirect light towards the wall, in a free wall corner, or placed on a shelf and a desk for grazing light on objects. Avoid placing it facing the bed, at eye level, and letting the cable cross the path to the door.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can LED neon be left on all night in a bedroom?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"It is technically possible, but for sleep a warm, dimmed and indirect light, or switching it off, is better. A coloured neon facing the bed keeps you awake. A model with a dimmer or remote control lets you lower the intensity in the evening without unplugging, and switch it off completely at night.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How to fix LED neon without drilling the wall?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Base-standing models simply sit on a bedside table or a shelf. For a wall model, an adhesive mount designed for the neon's weight can be used, on a clean, smooth and degreased surface. Drilling remains the safest fixing above a bed, especially if the neon is heavy or its cable taut.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Should a powerful LED wall light be added alongside the neon?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Only if you need to see clearly in a precise spot: desk, reading corner, dressing. A powerful LED wall light directed at the wall or the worktop lights that area without dazzling the bed. If the room is already well lit at the ceiling, the neon is enough as an accent.\"}}]}]\u003c\/script\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/8598\/2228\/collections\/designix-entete-neons-led-pour-chambre-v1.jpg?v=1792615213","url":"https:\/\/designix-lighting.com\/collections\/led-neon-lights-for-bedroom.oembed","provider":"Designix","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
