What is a sunset projection lamp?

TikTokers have become obsessed with sunset projection lamps – a trend that has over 27 million hashtags on the social media platform at the time of writing. Even some of our favourite influencers such as Rowi Singh and Flex Mami have jumped on the trend on Instagram.

Essentially, the lamps are a specialised light that projects a warm, calming glow across any room, mimicking a sunset. They can be projected on walls (a saving grace for those bare walls), the ceiling or basically anywhere else you want it. It can instantly elevate any space into a calming oasis where everything is drenched in the soft golden sun.

The hue the light emits varies depending on the brand and type of light you purchase; some give off a stronger red hue, others are more subtle and yellow, and some even have a rainbow function.

What are the benefits of sunset lamps?

Aside from transforming any dreary room into the most dreamy space, there are actually health benefits associated with this trendy light. For starters, light therapy has often been used to treat sleeplessness, and some forms of stress and anxiety.

Moreover, various studies have proven yellow, orange and red hues to be the most effective in stimulating melatonin production (the sleep hormone), as opposed to blue light (hello, electronic devices) which reduces this hormone’s level. So, sunset lamps will serve as an investment if you struggle to fall and stay asleep.
