AimeeM Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I need a nice, bright, kid-friendly (read: not terribly, easily breakable... no lamps, preferably) night light that will stay on all night. It would be nice if it was corded/plug-in. We have a great, super bright light in their room right now, but it's battery-operated and dims by the middle of the night. So far, everything I've seen is really dim. It's a larger bedroom and a regular "nursery" night light just doesn't cut it. I need actual light - not just a spot on the wall, lol. Any ideas?

maize Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 How about something like this? https://www.maxximastyle.com/led-night-lights/amber-led-nightlight-with-dusk-to-dawn-sensor-package-of-2-led-night-lights?gclid=CNW9m_O0rNICFUm2wAod45gFiA You want to stay away from blue spectrum lights because they negatively affect the body's production of melatonin and disrupt the sleep cycle.

Ottakee Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 We used a string of LED Christmas lights. White or colored. Kids loved them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forget-Me-Not Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00JZPQIJ8/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8 My DH has several of these installed around the house. They replace the standard outlet cover and can't be pulled off. They have a tiny dimmer switch on them so you can set them to your preferred brightness (high is very bright--we keep ours set to the low end and kids can still easily find their way through the house at night). They're light sensitive and turn on when it gets dark, and they also have a battery backup that kicks on in the event of a power outage. We bought them at either Costco or Lowe's/Home Depot.

mominco Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Aimee,Do you have an Ikea nearby? This is really good http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30150984/ Mydd has had it for almost 7 years and is wonderful.Light changes color and is not too bright. Is rechargeable-has a cord and you take the cord out at night and the child can have it in her/his bed. You can even keep it on the table with or without the cord.The material is silicone so its soft to touch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Maybe you want to put in a wall lamp with a low wattage bulb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AimeeM Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 We don't have an Ikea nearby :( I wish! I'd rather stay away from anything involving a bulb. Marco is... enthusiastic... in the middle of the night. a plug he doesn't typically mess with, but a bulb can easily be broken by him.

KungFuPanda Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Maybe you need overhead lighting with a dimmer switch. Then you can just lower the lights to the level you need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
