Modern night-lights have much more to offer than simply guiding you in the dark. Thanks to their unusual designs and functions, they can fill your home with magic in mere seconds, instantly changing the whole atmosphere and your mood. Today we took a closer look at 5 night-lights that are sold on Amazon to find out their secrets and help you choose the light that will suit you best. A cracked dinosaur egg, a cute duckling with dangling legs, or your personal copy of the moon — which one will you choose?

1. For kids and adults: it’s a fiber optic color-changing night-light that’ll fascinate you with its magical glow. Hundreds of colorful strands bring this lamp “alive” and fill the room with a vibrant sparkle. The LED lights used in the lamp are long-lasting, which means you can enjoy this wonderful glow for a long time.

Key features:
5 colors
Battery-powered
Touch switch

How this night-light works: The lamp is powered by 3 AA batteries. The base of the lamp is filled with crystals that create a shimmering effect. While the night-light works, it is constantly changing its color between red, purple, blue, green, and yellow.

Promising reviews:

I bought this fiber optic lamp for my toddler last Christmas. He loves it. It is good quality and shines brightly in a dark room. The lamp changes color, ranging from single colors to multiple at the same time. The base changes color as well as the fibers. The batteries seem to last a decent amount of time in the lamp. 3 x AAs are needed. There is an on/off switch underneath the base of the lamp. You cannot pause it on a certain color, it runs seamlessly through a color display. I would recommend this lamp. @Judith P.

Wonderful, highly recommended. I bought this lamp for my 13-year-old, who was having trouble sleeping as she was restless and found it difficult to calm down. “Wow” is all I’ve got to say! She has gone from staying awake until 2 a.m. to falling asleep within 30 minutes. Thank you so much. The lamp is sturdy, the perfect size for a bedside lamp, and uses batteries that seem to be lasting a while so far. The effect is really lovely, the colors are beautiful, and it is really pleasant to gently run your hands across it and see it move. The lamp is steady as the base is heavy enough without it being too heavy. It is the perfect level of brightness. It’s very portable as it’s powered by batteries. The only thing that could make it better would be if it were possible to set it for an hour, for example, as my daughter often falls asleep before turning it off. @I love my Nanny June xx

2. Best for a kid’s bedroom: super cute duck-shaped portable night-light. Its dangling yellow legs please both kids and adults, while its tender light is not too intense but strong enough to illuminate your working or reading area. During the daytime, it can also double as cute room décor.

Key features:
Turn off timer
1200 mAh lithium battery
Adjustable light

How this night-light works: The lamp has a built-in battery that allows it to work for up to 15 hours. There are ON/OFF/Timer buttons on the bottom of the lamp. By gently tapping the lamp you can select the suitable lighting mode: bright or warm.

Promising reviews:

This night-light is exactly what I was looking for. It gives just enough light to change a nappy/read a story, it is soft and easy to turn on and off with a gentle pinch and it has the cutest dangly duck legs. We don’t use it for long periods, at the moment, but it seems to hold a charge well, and I’ve seen that it has a function where it turns itself off after 20 minutes, which may come in handy. Overall very happy with it. @Jess

Don’t overthink it just buy it, you will not regret it! This is the best thing I have ever bought with my adult money. He is super cute and sits on my bedside table and his little dangly feet make me so happy. Super squishy and came with some charge, so it could be used right away if needed. Was delivered super quickly and is perfect. I love this little guy, and it has good illumination. @Marvin

3. Energy saving: If you want your house to get illuminated as soon as it gets dark, try this plug-in night-light. The brightness and light color are adjustable, and thanks to a built-in sensor this light turns on as soon as the room gets dark. There is also a variety of shapes to choose from, including a cat and a Christmas tree.

Key features:
Plug-in design
Adjustable brightness
Photoelectric sensor

How this night-light works: Plug the light in. During the daytime, it will stay turned off, and it will turn on once it gets dark. Using the button, you can choose the brightness of the light and its color mode. You can also choose a particular color, white light or the color-changing mode.

Promising reviews:

Super cute and fun little night-lights, perfect for kids’ rooms, dark hallways, or anywhere needing some soft night-lighting. I’ve put one of these in my daughter’s bedroom and one on our landing, so that we don’t need to keep the ceiling light on all night. They’re really quite bright with many static colors to select from, including a bright white and soft white. There’s also a color-changing mode which is lovely for kids’ rooms. Although there is no motion sensor on these, they do have a light sensor and will come on as soon as it gets dark. They make a great and cheaper alternative to keeping ceiling lights and conventional lamps on at night, especially for little ones who aren’t keen on the dark. I really love these little lights. They look lovely and emit a good amount of light when it’s dark. I’m definitely considering getting more of these for some of our other rooms. @Arcee

Great colors, children get excited each night to pick their colors. Does the job of illuminating the room at night softly. @Amazon Customer

How this night-light works: This night-light has a wooden stand that you can safely place it on. The item is USB-rechargeable. You can use the remote control to change the color and brightness of the light. You can also tap the light to change its color.

Promising reviews:

Bought this for my husband for his birthday, and as soon as it arrived, I opened it to check it over and make sure it was okay. Looked great quality on inspection and looked impressive in the box it arrived in. Have given it to him today, and turned it on, and it looks like Gru and his minions have stolen the moon and put it in my front room. He is so chuffed with it, as am I. Absolutely amazing present. Never mind that it says nursery lamp, would be great for anyone who is into space stuff. @taffy

How amazing is it to have your own moon?! It is so pretty when lit and is a good size. I love that you can change the brightness between white light and warm light. When I was a child, something like this would have been pure magic. Now that I’m an adult that’s a big kid at heart, I still find it pure magic LOL. I have this sitting on my side with my crystals. It came well packaged and I would recommend this item. @Kimberley Gemma

5. For an all-around magical experience: This night-light projector is probably the one you’re looking for if you want even more magic in your room. This item can be used in a “closed” mode where it looks like a hatching dinosaur egg, or you can remove the top to see beautiful stars all over the ceiling and walls. A built-in music player will make the whole view even more exciting.

Key features:
Adjustable brightness
Adjustable colors
White noise
Timer

How this night-light works: The light projector has 3 levels of brightness and nebula velocity, 14 colors, and 19 white noise sounds. If you connect the device via Bluetooth, you can turn it into a speaker and play your favorite music too. The item also has a remote control for your convenience.

Promising reviews:

This is a brilliant little projector. It is shaped like an egg and easily fits onto bedside tables and doesn’t take up too much space. It has a good choice of colors and a good spread range across the ceiling. It’s really relaxing. It also has a collection of sounds and music that you can play or you can Bluetooth your own. Very easy to use. My only gripe would be that the simulated stars are green, and as far as I can tell, you can’t change the color of those but that still wouldn’t put me off. I’ve bought 2 more for presents as I was so impressed! @Tina

This is much better than I expected. Fills the whole room, and I could watch it for ages. It’s beautifully bright. Bought it for my nephew, but now we all want one! @Amazon Customer
