Imagine this scene. You and your lady are crawling into bed together, and the mood is just the right temperature. You might actually get lucky tonight. But as you turn to face her, you’re temporarily blinded by the super bright fluorescent bulbs you’ve installed in your overhead bedroom light. After you cry out in pain, your SO suggests you turn off the lights, and the two of you are asleep before you know it.
Harsh lighting can really kill a romantic mood. Not only is it blinding at times, it also allows you to see every detail and can be quite painful on the eyes. To ensure, your romance isn’t spoiled the next time it pops up, consider installing low temperature lighting in your bedroom.
Softer lights, ideally under 3000K, are better for your eyes and better for hotter nights. Whether you install light bulbs in the existing overhead lights or rely on a few lamps, get soft, low temp lights and turn up the heat at home.
