eufy Compact Eco-Friendly Night Light, 4-pack

Whether you want to avoid tripping on a toy in the hallway on your way to the bathroom in the middle of the night or you want to give your child a little extra security at bedtime, a night light is the way to go. Before you purchase a set of night lights, you’ll want to keep the following features in mind.

Check how energy efficient the night light is. Night lights that use LED lights last a long time and tend to cost just a few cents per year to run.

Determine the size of the night light. Many models are so large that they take up the space of both of the receptacles in the outlet. Consider a set that is compact and only uses one receptacle, so the other is left free for charging a tablet or table lamp.

Look at the product packaging to find out whether the night light is manual or automatic.  Some models are equipped with a “dusk to dawn” sensor. As soon as the lighting in the home begins to dim, the night light automatically comes on. The opposite is also true. When the light brightens due to the sun or interior lighting, the night light will shut off.

Consider a night light that has extra features, such as the Hatch Baby Sound Machine and Night Light. This model allows users to choose a color for their light, as well as set a background noise to either soothe a child to sleep or gently wake a child in the morning.

• If the night light comes with a product warranty or a satisfaction guarantee, you need to check the length of the coverage. Some of these protections only last 90 days, while others are good for up to a year from the date of purchase.
• Night lights are not waterproof and cannot be used outdoors.
• Look for any third-party testings or certifications, such as a CE certification, as this lets you know the product is of a higher quality.
• When comparing night lights, make sure you take a look at how many lights are in the set.
