Professional night light installation - positioned properly so children have comforting glow without disturbing their sleep.
The Right Kind Of Light
Children need light to feel safe. But the wrong light disrupts sleep. A properly positioned night light gives comfort without the brightness that keeps them awake.
💡 Pro tip: Red or amber lights are less disruptive to sleep than white or blue. And low down is better than eye level.

🔧 DIY Tips
Installing yourself? Here's what works:
🔧 What you'll need
- Night light (appropriate type)
- Maybe drill/screwdriver for wall-mount
- Extension if socket badly positioned
📐 Positioning tips
- Low down - floor level glow
- Not visible from pillow
- Near door for navigation
- Not near anything climbable
- Out of reach if possible
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Too bright (disrupts sleep)
- Eye level (distracting)
- White/blue light (stimulating)
- Visible from bed (staring at it)
💡 Pro trick: A dimmer switch on a proper wall light gives adjustable brightness - start dim, go dimmer as they adjust.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of night light can you install?
Plug-in lights, wall-mounted lights, motion sensor lights, hardwired options. Whatever suits your room and child's needs.
Where should a night light go?
Low down usually - floor level glow is less disturbing than eye level. Near the door for finding the way out, or near the bed for comfort. Not directly visible from the pillow.
How bright should it be?
Just enough to see by - not bright enough to read or play by. Dim is better for sleep. Red/orange tones are less disruptive than white/blue.
Can you do motion sensor lights?
Yes - useful for hallways and landings. Turns on when they get up, guides them to the bathroom, turns off automatically.
