Night Lights

Keeping a child comfortable and safe at night can be difficult when a parent is not in the same room. A great way of achieving this is using a high-quality night light to provide a wash of comforting colour throughout an area. 

Night lights work to reduce fear and improve relaxation through the transmittance of a soothing lighting source. They also provide better visibility for parents who may need to pop into the room during the night without requiring a bright light to be used. Night lights are also portable, meaning the children can benefit from home comforts at night even when travelling away from home. This consistency is essential for quality sleep.

This will depend on the model but most night lights do allow adjustability of both the colour and level of lighting. Many also provide different lighting options as parents can use them during different periods of the day to help train children into healthy sleeping patterns. 

Night lights are a plug-and-go accessory that can be used anywhere within a child's sleeping space. Some models are USB or battery-operated, whereas others will need to be plugged into an energy source, so that is a simple consideration you must make. 

You shouldn't position the light too close to a child's cot or bed, as this could interrupt sleep. Finally, if you want a night light to offer optimal performance, the room itself should be free from other light sources. This means that installing a quality blackout blind or draft excluders for doors is a great idea.

There is a chance that your child will never need a night light, so it's always best to see how they are coping with nighttime darkness to assess their needs. It is most common for toddlers to develop a fear of the dark, meaning night lights are commonly used by children below four. However, a great benefit of night lights is that they are versatile and comforting, meaning they do not cause any harm if children need their support for longer.

Our collection of night lights showcases the wide variety of models available on the market. From fun designs that replicate soft toys to projector mobiles, we have something for any need. Night lights tend to come in a few different lighting designs, plain washes of colour and projector effects such as stars. You can also shop for intelligent solutions such as the Purflo Starlight Room Thermometer, which changes colour based on the temperature of a room. 

The beauty of selecting a night light is that there are many options for all budgets.

Night lights are designed to be safe additions to a child's rooms meaning they can be easily maintained. Simply wipe the night light clean regularly to keep it in good working order.
