Help Need a Night Light!


Recommended Posts

So my two younger girls are afraid of the dark, but they're young enough to be pretty destructive. The wifey and I are looking for a stick to the wall (high up) night light for them. We have a light at the moment, but with fresh batteries it's really really bright and distracts them for hours on end. Even tonight after they were asleep, my wife went in and they literally had their arms over their eyes. I searched Amazon and didn't find much, so I turn to you, my trusted neowin community. We need a light we can put up out of their reach, battery powered, that can provide a little light for them to not be afraid of the dark, but one that won't distract them or keep them awake with too much light. Please help, my girls are relying on you!

You can buy something like this:

Or if you like DIY, make a throwie and glue it into half a ping pong ball to diffuse the light.

Leave the landing light on, and their bedroom door slightly ajar?

We would but the light leaks into my son's bedroom, and he's like me will only sleep in pitch black lol.

We like the throwie and ping pong ball idea tbh, will probably mess around with that a bit, I'll post back when we do it and let you all know how it goes. =o)

    • Get used to this, with AI tooling now uncovering new vulns and getting them exploitable far faster than has ever been possible before software is going to need to be updated far more frequently.
    • You don't need to "close all browser sessions constantly" or wait for updates to install. The updates download in the background while you use the browser, without interrupting you, they install automatically the next time you launch the app. And they install very fast (depending on your storage speeds, of course), you have to wait at most 2-3 extra seconds, if any. Seems like you haven't used Edge in a loooooooong time...
