Exposure to typical room lighting at night inhibits production of the sleep hormone melatonin in 99% of individuals--including mothers and infants. For this reason, most pediatricians recommend dim, warm lighting for nurseries to help protect mom and baby's melatonin production and to avoid awakening or alerting your baby during nighttime feedings. Our dimmable nursery lamp uses specially designed amber LEDs which emit only amber wavelengths of light (peaking at 592 nM), free from the blue and green wavelengths that can disrupt the sleep of mother and baby. As numerous studies have found, even bright amber light has no negative effect on melatonin production (Kayumov, 2005). Our dimmable amber nursery lamp allows you to use as much or as little light as you need to safely navigate the nursery and care for your baby, without worrying about the harmful effects of blue light on your sleep.
