When you are pregnant no one tells you how much time you will spend thinking about light and dark, from black out blinds to night lights trying to strike the balance can be a nightmare. Since Dixie’s arrival (3 years ago) I have struggled to find a way of lighting her room which is A) reasonably energy efficient and B) does the job. When she was born and in my room, I wanted something that cast just enough light that I could feed her without waking up my husband or making her think it was the morning. I also wanted to be able to torment myself and see what time it was (always to early).

When she moved into her own room (probably as a result of me being so attentive to the lighting) she didn’t want to sleep in total darkness so I took to leaving a light on in the hallway causing a lot of grumbles from my husband about the wasted energy.

I have tried many different types from Ikeas ‘pebble’ (too bright), a glow in the dark egg (just a joke, almost no light at all), fairy light (always worried about the fire risk) until just last week, again in Oxfam I discover this the Ecozone Moonlight Night Light. I paid £9.99 for it but at the moment it is £7.00.

The night light will run 24 hours a day for 365 days a year for under £0.50. Woop woop! It emits a cool blue green electro-luminescent light, perfect for night lighting in bedrooms, hallways and corridors. Halleluiah!
