It must be stated that night lights are often associated with young children who are perhaps scared of the dark.

But night lighting is not just a light that is placed in a plug socket by a child's bed. Many adults are sure to be taking advantage of their many useful applications also.

Children will have many different and unique reasons for not wanting to go to bed, or have an inability to get straight to sleep. Fortunately, there are a range of products that can help encourage going to bed, and help throughout the night. Keep reading to discover the correct ways of using night lights in your child's bedroom. Because there are many different forms of glow lighting available for the home. Here is a quick run down on the available options.

This can be plugged into any socket within the home. Or, perhaps when travelling and staying in a hotel. These can light up bedrooms, hallways and even bathrooms. They will create a gentle glow that is not overpowering or startling. Most will contain light emitting diodes, therefore are incredibly energy efficient.

It can also be a great novelty way of encouraging little ones to get into bed early.

Night Light Alarm Clocks
