RED Automatic LED Night Light Dusk 2 Dawn LED Sensitive, White, Plug in

Product Information

Night lights can be added to a child's room as early as infancy, not only to create a sense of ambiance in the room, but to help parents and caregivers navigate the space.

During testing, we found that it did its job well, emitting warm illumination that wasn't too stimulating for sleeping babies. While this night light doesn't have a motion sensor or any other fancy bells and whistles, we still appreciated features like the handy power switch, which can be more convenient than a finicky motion sensor. For example, the time-to-rise feature illuminates different colors to indicate when your child should stay in bed versus when they can get up in the morning—a potential life-saver for parents. But did you know that over the years, night lights, in particular, red lights have surged in popularity among adults? Red will always be the most conducive to proper sleep, as blue light can inhibit our production of melatonin making it more difficult for us to get some shuteye.Our retinas hold special photosensitive cells known as ipRGC’s, which power our body’s internal clock. This product features a multi-functional design, allowing you to project fun images and simple nightlight by removing its cover. But you can choose the sounds if preferred - the options include white noise, rainfall and even a vacuum cleaner!

If you’ve ever tried to change a nappy in a dark nursery without fully waking your baby, you’ll know just how difficult it can be. However, having a nightlight can be handy even for adults, whether you don’t want to turn on a light for a midnight snack or to use the restroom, they can provide a welcomed convenience. Founded in 2009, My Night Light started out as an idea in the early hours of the morning amidst the cries of a screaming child. Plug-in types of nightlights are handy and straightforward to use as they don’t require batteries, and plug directly into the wall, just like a lamp.

As a toddler mom, Holland is familiar with various types of night lights and time-to-rise gadgets and keeps a Hatch Rest+ in her child's bedroom. The bulbs can become hot when lit for long periods, and if not encased securely, a curious tot could tear off the cover, burning their hands on the bulb.

You can control the brightness as well, so your babe isn’t too distracted by adjusting the night light belly for a dim glow. A really helpful addition to any nursery setting is a smart light option such as the Philips Hue bulbs. Participants were randomly assigned to receive 30 minutes of red light therapy every night for 14 days. This means it will take longer to fall asleep, you’ll have less REM (dreaming) sleep and ultimately, you’ll wake up feeling sleepier.While this option may sound distracting right before going to bed, it can be incredibly soothing to watch soft pictures projected onto the wall while listening to relaxing music. Choosing products suitable for a child’s lifestyle means they need to be safe and durable, as munchkins don’t know what it means to be gentle or protect themselves, so squishy nightlights could be better suited. Our bodies have an internal clock or circadian rhythm which exists from birth and tells us when it’s time to sleep. Our hormones rise and fall throughout the day, with one, in particular, melatonin, letting us know when it’s time to sleep. If you want to avoid bumping into your door or counter on your way to the bathroom in the middle of the night but prefer not to flip on the overheads, SerieCozy is an excellent choice.

If you opt for a device that can heat up or poses a fire hazard, remember to place it where no materials or flammable objects can present a risk. When it’s low on power, a red light will indicate that it’s time to plug the nightlight into the micro-USB charger and will take around 30 minutes to fully charge. Note that we weren't huge fans of the cool-white illumination, as it can be stimulating if left on while sleeping.When choosing night lights, we always suggest listing the activities that will be carried out in the space at night, and what effects and sensations you want to achieve," says Lina M.
