What is a projector for?

A night projector for children is necessary in order to create a picture, for example, of the starry sky, by projecting it onto walls or ceilings. The main purpose of the device is to emit soft light that will not interfere with sleep and at the same time exclude complete darkness (it can scare the child).

As an image, cartoon characters, good animals, figurines, patterns are most often used. Moreover, all these elements can slowly move along the surface of the ceiling. From this it is clear why a nightlight is needed. It helps the baby fall asleep quickly and provides a healthy, sound sleep.

Types of projectors

When choosing a projector, you should pay attention to its reliability. You can also consider several types of devices. The projection on the ceiling for children can be created by different devices:

1. Wall (ceiling) projector fastened to the chandelier, suspended from it and forms the widest possible picture.
2. Desktop put on a flat surface of the table or bedside table. It is advisable to use for small children lying in cribs (so that they cannot reach the lamp).
3. Portable children's night projector is attached with a clothespin to almost any surface. Often it is fixed directly on the curb of the bed. These devices operate on batteries, so they can be carried anywhere.
4. Stationary lamps are connected to a regular outlet. They form full-fledged pictures on the surface of the ceiling or wall, they do not need batteries.

How to choose the right model

Design lamps are selected according to various parameters, among them the following are of particular importance:

1. Age - newborn babies are best suited for lamps on clothespins. Often they not only create an image, but also play pleasant music, the volume of which (as well as the brightness of the lighting) can be adjusted. For children over 1 year old, it is better to purchase a stationary projector that displays a large image on the walls and ceiling.
2. The most important criterion is safety. Devices must be securely fixed on any surface, for example, on the crib itself. It should be installed so that the child definitely cannot reach the lamp. It is also desirable that the model does not consist of small removable parts.
3. The brightness of the lighting should be minimal, and the light should be soft and diffused. Otherwise, the baby will not be able to fall asleep normally and may even be frightened by the image.
4. It is best to purchase a device similar to a music projector. Typically, such models reproduce not only music, but also natural sounds, such as the tide.
5. The body color should be pleasant, not very bright. For example, you should avoid red, orange lights, which can cause anxiety in the child.

Also, when choosing, the manufacturer's brand and price category are taken into account. Do not buy the cheapest devices. It is better to stay on the model with the best value for money. Both the description and user reviews on different portals will help you find it.
