(Like all the other rechargeable lights we tested, you’ll have to use a wall-plug AC-to-USB-5V adapter you already own.) It includes a high-quality micro-USB-to-USB charging cable. Like our former pick for this category, the now-discontinued Kinderglo, the VAVA includes a charging base that makes topping up the battery easy. One major advantage to the VAVA is its portability. If you want a night light that’s more tailored for a child’s bedroom, the VAVA – VA-CL006 is our pick. With its long lifespan, affordable pricing and versatility, the Maxxima LED Multi-Color Night Light was easily the best pick of our finalists. The light from the Maxxima LED Multi-Colorstrikes an effective balance between providing enough light to be useful, but it’s dim enough that it won’t keep you awake. We also appreciated that, unlike other night lights with an ambient light sensor, the Maxxima didn’t flicker in between turning on and turning off instead, the light turns on and off gradually. Its sensor seemed to be well-tuned and quickly turned on the night-light when ambient light dimmed. The Maxxima’s auto on/off sensor was particularly effective as well. Even better, we didn’t find the white light to be particularly blue, so brief exposure shouldn’t dramatically impact sleep patterns. This setting is ideal for hallways, bathrooms and anywhere else where additional light is needed. See Price at įortunately, the Maxxima night light can produce brighter light with its white LED bulb. The LED bulb is rated to last for 100,000 hours and includes a doctor-approved red light. Our Top Pick: Maxxima - LED Multi-Color Night LightĪffordability, versatility and great build quality make this our top pick. While it’s still a good choice for a dim bedroom light, it’s not as helpful if you’re trying not to step on LEGO bricks.

That said, red lighting has its downside - namely, it doesn’t help you see very well. Bedrosian’s research indicated that while “warm” yellow-white LEDs present less risk of disrupting your sleep rhythm, red lights have a far smaller effect. Red lighting is the ideal setting for nighttime, particularly in the bedroom, since Dr. She went into detail about her research covering the negative impacts of using blue light at night. We spoke at length with Tracy Bedrosian, a Ph.D in Neuroscience from Ohio State University. The “multi” feature of the Maxxima – LED Multi-Color Night Light is easy to use: A small switch on the front of the light quickly and easily changes the light color to red, white or blue. The electrical cost for LED bulbs is negligible as well - with estimates around 25 cents per year with typical use. The LED bulb is rated to last for 100,000 hours, which translates to approximately 11-1/2 years of continuous use. In terms of affordability, the Maxxima is very affordable at $5.99 for one and $10.99 for a two-pack. We liked this night-light above all the others because it is affordable, has great build quality, and offers greater versatility than any other product we tested. While all six of the night-lights we tested serve a purpose, none of them are as multi-purpose as the Maxxima – LED Multi-Color Night Light.
