I have an overhead light in my bedroom that I absolutely despise. It’s way too bright and it’s right behind my phone/book/whatever when I’m lying in bed. We have other lights around the room, and so I’d like to replace it with someone else. I don’t really want a ceiling fan there, but that’s the only thing I can think of. Does anyone have suggestions of something fun to put in the center of a bedroom ceiling?

    Install a dimmer switch? We replaced the stock Hampton Bay fan/light in our bedroom with a clear glass, kinda industrial style fixture with LED Edison bulbs on a dimmer switch, so we can turn that light on really low or really bright if we need to. I hate overhead lighting typically, but the low light is super warm colored and great to have on when we’re in there but still up.

    I’m a dimmer switch advocate…no one should ever get blasted with a full-strength bulb when they’re trying to wind down from the day or first waking up. Just put dimmer switches in every room.

      Oh, it’s on a smart dimmer already. The placement in the room relative to where I sleep/lie in bed makes it super annoying even at low light, so I’d rather just replace the full thing with something more useful or at least nicer looking.
