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)

    • My son is in Monaco right now, and I was checking his location in Apple's Find My app. I noticed that Prince Albert's Palace was blurred out on the satellite imagery in both Find My and Apple Maps. I checked Google Maps, and the palace wasn't blurred there. Does Apple have some kind of process where property owners can request that their homes be blurred on Apple Maps?  
    • No, it was THAT ugly and I’d rather forget it completely existed.
    • There is a lot of reasons not to use Edge but faster fixes and security updates is not one of them.
    • Can't reproduce. I installed Edge, went to neowin.net > accepted the cookie consent > used menu to go to forums, everything loads and I can browse around the forums. If you can't interact with the dialog on the forums for some reason, go to the main site and accept the cookie consent there? It is true that the site will not function properly until the cookie consent is accepted or rejected,. it's a legal requirement and I also know that certain VPN/ad blockers block it, which is a user related issue and not a neowin.net problem.   This is not our cookie consent dialog. Gotta love browser hijacking... /s Edit: this may be what Californians see, I will confirm with our consent provider.
