Lights 4 Kids

A soft light makes bedtime a lot cosier. The night lights from Lights 4 Kids are made of soft silicone, in the shape of an owl, a fox or a hippo. They are rechargeable via USB, shine for at least 10 hours on one charge and can glow in white and 8 other colours. With the remote control you set the brightness and a timer. Below you can read how the lights work, how to use them safely and how to keep them clean.

The night lights from Lights 4 Kids

• Owl: a cheerful owl of about 10 x 14.5 x 10 cm.
• Fox: a sweet fox of about 11 x 11 x 14 cm.
• Hippo: a cuddly little hippo, about the same size as the other lights.

All lights are made of 100% silicone. It feels soft, is washable and has a nice size for small children.

How does the night light work?

• Rechargeable: charge the light with the included USB cable. One charge gives at least 10 hours of light, so no cable next to the bed.
• 9 colours: the light shines white or one of 8 other colours. Change colour by touching the light or with the small remote control.
• Dimmable: with the remote control you adjust the brightness, from bright to very soft.
• Timer: set the light to switch off automatically after 15, 30 or 60 minutes.

Why a night light?

Many children prefer not to fall asleep in the dark. A soft light gives calm and a sense of safety, especially if your child wakes up during the night. For parents it's handy too: for a night feed or a nappy change you have just enough light, without switching on the main light. That way your baby stays sleepy and you both fall back asleep faster.

Afraid of the dark?

Around the age of 2 to 4, many children become a little afraid of the dark. That is part of a phase in which imagination grows. A friendly night light shaped like an owl or fox helps: the light feels like a buddy keeping watch. Take the fear seriously, talk about it calmly and let your child have a say in the colour and the spot of the light. For older children, a familiar baby comforter can also give comfort. For babies in their first year, nothing loose belongs in the cot.

Which colour of light do you choose?

For bedtime, a warm, soft colour is usually most pleasant, such as orange, red or dimmed white. Bright blue or white light can actually keep children awake. Use the brighter colour settings during the day or while playing, and dim the light in the evening. With the timer, the light switches off by itself once your child is asleep.

A fixed bedtime routine

A night light fits nicely into a fixed bedtime routine. For example: bath, pyjamas on, brush teeth, read a book, then main light off and night light on. Let your child choose the colour, which makes it a fun moment. Set the timer to 30 minutes, so the light switches off when your child is asleep. A fixed routine gives structure and helps many children fall asleep calmly. A music box or musical mobile can fit in nicely too.

Using it safely

• Not in the cot: put the night light on a cupboard or shelf next to the bed, not in your baby's cot.
• Cable out of reach: charge the light out of your child's reach and don't leave the USB cable by the bed.
• Under supervision: don't let young children play with the light unsupervised.
• Check regularly: stop using the light if it is damaged.

Does your baby sleep in a sleeping bag? Choose a well-fitting baby sleeping bag, with no loose blankets or pillows in the cot during the first year.

Cleaning

The silicone outside is washable. Wipe the light with a damp cloth and a little mild soap, then dry it well. Don't submerge the light in water and keep the charging port dry.

Charging tips

Charge the light during the day, for example in the living room or kitchen, so it's ready for use in the evening. With at least 10 hours of light per charge, you can often use the light for several evenings, especially if you set the timer. Use the included USB cable and a standard USB adapter. Unplug the light once it's fully charged.

Atmosphere in the nursery

An animal-shaped night light is not only handy, but also a fun decorative item. Combine it with a soft rug, a few cushions and lovely bed textiles for a cosy room. More night lights and projectors, for example from Sass & Belle, are under night lights and projectors. Everything for the room is under kids room.

Take it along

Because the light is rechargeable and doesn't need a cable, it's easy to take along. On holiday or at grandma and grandpa's, the familiar light helps your child get used to a new room faster. Don't forget to pack the USB cable.
