Night lights are magical objects that can cast beautiful and dreamy light onto surfaces. While night lights can make a room feel more inviting and secure for young children, teens and adults can also benefit from their calming and soothing glow. When it comes to night lights, there is an incredible array of options. Battery-powered and/or rechargeable night lights, ranging from classic designs to whimsical shapes, are readily available online and in stores. Many are portable and some have motion sensors and timers built in for convenience. If a night light isn't dependent on a power source, one could even turn it into a piece of art or a novelty item. Despite their somewhat kitschy reputation, night lights do provide a calming and relaxing effect. Whether it be the comforting soft glow they emit, or the fact that they remind us of childhood, they simultaneously provide a sense of security and nostalgia. Night lights can also add a subtle bit of whimsy to a room, while making it easier to see in the dark. If you're having trouble sleeping or sometimes find yourself awakening in the middle of the night, a night light can be a great addition to your bedroom. Even if you don't have children, a night light in the bathroom can not only save you from having to turn on the bright bathroom lights, it can also reduce power consumption. Whether its for security, ambience, or energy efficiency, night lights are an effortless and inexpensive way to make a room feel warmer and more inviting.
