The best amber nightlight we’ve found
If you want an attractive, space-saving, gradual dusk-to-dawn amber nightlight that isn’t a nasty color, this is it. I am super sensitive with LED light color & flicker, so I tried about 10 different types of amber nightlights on the same day, and these were the clear winners. The glow they give off will seem pretty orange at first, but for me, it took one night to grow accustomed to it (I tried a warm white one a day later, and it felt so cold & harsh in contrast!). They brighten slowly in the evening and dim slowly at dawn, so they really are a great “set it and forget it” deal, especially considering how little space they take up. The aspect I most appreciate compared to all the other nightlights I tried (besides the color being spot-on) is that the light emits from all five visible sides, not just from the front, so they provide much better “spread.” Amber lights typically don’t disrupt the circadian rhythm/jolt your brain awake, and are not at all harsh on the eyes, despite these being the brightest ambers we tested. That said, amber lights are going to be more difficult to see by - I’d compare one of these nightlights to a single tea light candle in terms of how far the light gets. So if you’re planning to use these for midnight bathroom visits, for instance, you’ll likely need one by the door and one by the toilet (at least, depending on how big your bathroom is). Overall, these function excellently, they should last a really long time thanks to the LED’s low power consumption and dusk-to-dawn sensors, they seem durable, take up so little space, and (in my personal opinion/experience) are very cute & cozy, and do not have that awful strobe effect that many LEDs do (no migraines triggered here!). The only thing I would change is the quantity — they should be available in a 4 or 6 pack. Read more
