We have two,neither of which are principally a night light-one is the glo egg that acts as a room thermometer- it is fairly bright so sits behind something on her bedside table-the light then diffuses from behind which is nice.the other is the light on our angelcare monitor-again,sits on floor behind basket of toys so light diffuses.point being a lot of the pure night lights plug in directly and you are stuck with where you put it and the brightness level.if you get something multifunctional with a bit of a cable you can hide it if too bright, or leave it out if you think it's not bright enough.i for one hate light shining in my eyes when I'm trying to sleep (even the clock seems to get brighter when I'm sleepy),which is why I'd be the advocat of have a brighter light but put something in the lights path to your baby/child so it doesn't annoy them in their sleep.wow,how to overcomplicaye the situation! Good luck whatever you choose.s

I bought one of those old globes/atlas off (ebay) which works well as a night light, definately not too bright..... (although I switch it off and dont leave it on teh whole night)

We use a Lumie Bodyclock that used to be in our room - turned up quite high for bedtime stories, lower when it's time to get into bed, and very low overnight. It was great for nighttime changes when he was little, you can turn it up just enough to see what you're doing without the extra light being a horrible shock for either of you. I would love to get something pretty like the toadstool or rabbit lights for his room and reclaim the Bodyclock but being able to control the amount of light is so useful I'm not sure that bedtime would work as well without it.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
