Tiscen Corded 3D Dinosaur Night Light

Night lights serve a valuable purpose. Whether placed in a hallway, a bedroom or a bathroom, they make it much easier to navigate around your house late in the evenings without waking others.

But if you have a young child, a night light can serve another very valuable purpose. For children who fear the dark, a night light may offer just the right amount of illumination to keep the scary things at bay.

There are a few things that go into choosing a good night light. You’ll want one with a bulb that provides just enough light to either brighten a pathway or calm those nighttime fears. A low-wattage bulb will also keep energy costs down, reducing your carbon footprint while also helping you make your budget more efficient.

For children, a dinosaur-themed night light can bring a little extra fun to bedtime. Not only will it light up your kid’s room during bedtime, but it can provide a whimsical touch that matches your décor. If your child loves prehistoric creatures, the light can show off their interests while encouraging a love of knowledge. You can even find night lights that brighten a room by projecting a 3D image of a dinosaur onto a plate, leaving only the base to show during daytime hours.

• You’ll see plenty of 3D-projector dinosaur night lights. Be aware that with most of these products the image itself isn’t actually three-dimensional. It’s a flat image on a plate that gives the appearance of being three-dimensional.
• You can choose from a variety of features that will save on energy. LED lights require less electricity to operate while also burning longer than traditional compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) bulbs.
• Another benefit of LED lights is that they usually burn without heating up the casing of the bulb itself. This can be invaluable if your child happens to touch the light while exploring the room.
• Some night lights activate only when motion is detected or have sensors that automatically shut off at dawn and on at dusk. For a children’s room, the latter type of bulb is likely a better option since you’ll want it to burn steadily for a certain period of time, not just when someone walks past it.
• For a child’s bedroom, the profile of your night light is worth considering. One that protrudes considerably from the wall can get in the way as little ones crawl, walk or run past it.
• Before you buy, take a close look at how your night light is powered. Many of them plug into a wall socket, but some of the newer ones can run on batteries or a USB cable plugged into an adapter.
