How high should wall-mounted bedside lights be?

In general, wall-mounted bedside lights should be placed slightly above shoulder height to reduce unwanted glare from the light bulb and create an ideal ambiance for reading. The optimal height is 4 - 5 inches above the shoulder. This height also makes the light switch close enough to reach from a sitting position for when you want to turn the lights on and off in the comfort of your bed. If your wall-mounted bedside lights come with shades, consider positioning the shades around 20 - 24 inches above your nightstands, which is usually a good fit for people of different heights.

Are wall mounted bedside lights easy to install?

Wall-mounted bedside lights are typically hard-wired, which means they need to be connected to electrical wires inside your wall to operate. This process requires you to drill into the wall carefully and fasten the light to a wire that connects to a light switch. If you are not familiar with how to do this safely, you may want to call an electrician for help.

Plug-in wall-mounted lights may be the best option for you if you live in a rental apartment or anticipate moving the light in the future. Another option is a battery-powered light, which looks just like a hardwired light and only requires occasional maintenance and battery replacement.

What are the different styles of wall-mounted bedside lights?

Wall-mounted bedside lights tend to encompass many different styles, but industrial and modern bedside lights are very trendy right now.

As these types of lights are meant to enhance a nighttime glow or assist people with reading in bed, they usually come with shades that block the top half of the bulb. To that end, we’re seeing a lot of extendable metallic wall-mounted lights.

However, the modern, artsy versions of these lights can have no shades at all, geometric cage shades, or opaque shades for an all-around glow.
