SomniLight Red Night Light (2 Pack)

I have no idea whether SomniLight's talk of melatonin makes scientific sense. But any amateur astronomer can tell you that since red is the color to which the eye is least sensitive you can use red light without ruining your night vision. That itself explains why these lights don't disrupt sleep: you can use them without telling your eyes -- or your brain -- that its time to adjust to daylight. They provide a soft, gentle light that illuminates a hallway, bathroom, or whatever else you need to see at night. They do so without disturbing your senses and without giving you the sensation, when you're trying to go to sleep, that there's a light on somewhere that needs to be turned off.

These are (probably) truly sleep safe and non-disrupting of the circadian rhythm. That being said they are dim and let you just barely see in a pitch black room. But very little light. So that's good or bad, depending on what you want them for. Great for a bedroom light, not as good for a hall light or bathroom light.

We have this in our bathroom.I tried four different red night lights. The others were all too bright and disturbing to my eyes/sleep in the middle of the night. This one is large, and illuminating, but soft and easy on the eyes. It’s quite lovely.If it were up to me, I’d make it even a tad less bright, but, I think it’s great and it’s my first choice.

SomniLight is awesome and I'm so glad I found their products. I have these night lights and an amber reading lamp that are all fantastic. I have a very hard time falling asleep again if I get up in the night, and these night lights help prevent me waking up and turning on a light. I'm able to see my way around without the shock of bright lights. The automatic sensor is great so I never have to worry about remembering to turn them on. We put one in the bathroom since that's usually where you in the middle of the night, and one in the kitchen in case we have to go check on anything out there. Best night lights ever!

Good luck changing diapers with these only… not nearly enough light. Very faint.

My little one sleeps in the same room as us, and we needed a night light that wouldn't keep anyone awake, or interrupt sleep patterns, but would give a bit of a comforting glow for when she wakes up. This was perfect! We all sleep much more soundly than we did with a traditional night light that was too bright. This actually doesn't lend enough light to find your way around well (unless you use both, and then it's quite bright). But it's perfect for just having a comforting light for the little one if she wakes up.

Update: after a little over 2 years it finally died. Great night light. But now you know their lifespan.The photocell on these night lights is very sensitive. They will turn off during the day time even if they are not in direct sunlight, which I really appreciate. Not wasting electricity, no matter how minuscule of an amount it may be, is a benefit. In the evening they illuminate very well, although they are not offensively bright. The shade of red that they produce does not upset me when I wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. It provides just the right amount of illumination to satisfy my toddler as well. My sleep doctor recommended these, as they are not supposed to mess with your circadian rhythms as much as normal night lights.

This Somnilight product provides so little light in my bathroom that I am more prone to fall than I am with a bluenight light. What's even worse is that Amazon has made this product ineligible for return. So I just threw out fifteen dollars. I must add that this is most unusual for Amazon and I am disappointed.
