Lighting fixtures in any form can be considered a basic necessity in every home that we cannot afford to lose. Just like our food and clothing, the lighting fixtures in our home are also important. It is not for aesthetic reason alone. It is also for the fact that these lighting fixtures can keep us safe or make us feel secure especially at night just like what our night light or table lamps.
When we were kids I know that most of us get scared easily just like most normal kids feel especially when there is a power outage all of a sudden. We felt even more frightened if these power outages happen at night especially during a thunderstorm. So we either hide in the security of our blankets or run to our parents’ room. It is also no secret that my brother’s and I always keep a night light on. The artfully designed kids’ lamps which were our constant companion at night serve us our night lamp. It was made of ceramic. The design of that ceramic children’s lamp look so much like the 13" Home Sweet Home Ceramic Table Light in one of the stores I found online. There was something in that particular design that made us feel secured and comforted even after our mom would left our room.
It does not matter if you were born in the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s or the present generation. We were all vulnerable once upon a time. Through the security of the night lamps which our parents’ made sure that are always on, we know that their love and protection is always there. Through those lamps our parents want us to know that everything is under control. We also use to cry easily. We were all dependent to our parents. We also know that they will always protect us no matter what. That even as we age, we still seek their love and protection for some reason.
