10 Night Lights That Will Fight the Monsters in Your Kids' Closets

Beary Nightlight ($15)

The portable nightlight has a handle on the top to encourage nighttime independence, and the friendly bear face functions as a lantern for kiddos who need some extra support in the dark.

Mydethun Moon Lamp ($20)

If your kid is obsessed with the moon and the stars, you can't go wrong with this 3D-printed moon lamp. With more than 15,000 five-star reviews on Amazon, it's safe to say this is a crowd favourite.

Smoko Pearl Boba Tea Ambient Light ($22)

This night light is a POPSUGAR editor favourite and a playful way to light up your kid's room. If your little one is always begging for boba as their after-school snack, then this one is for you.

Tommee Tippee Dreammaker ($27, originally $34)

The pulsing red glow of this night light will have your baby sleeping in no time. Research has shown that red light leads to better-quality sleep by increasing production of melatonin, the sleep hormone. And this night light doubles as a sound machine! It utilises pink noise, which mimics the sound of the womb. But the best part is the "Smart CrySensor" technology, which picks up the sound of your baby crying and turns the machine back on to soothe them back to sleep.

Westinghouse 3-Pack 4-in-1 Power Failure Night Light ($35)

The motion-sensing technology makes it handy for the littles who make their way to your bedroom after a nightmare. But that's not its only purpose. One Amazon reviewer wrote that he originally bought it as a night light for his kids but found it incredibly useful during a power outage. The rechargeable emergency light ensures there will be light accessible even during a power failure. It is also easy to install and works as a flashlight as needed.

Pottery Barn Kids' Ceramic Moon Light ($39)

Ceramic and hand painted in white, this night light is the perfect finishing touch to a nursery. The warm glow will illuminate the room just enough for you to check on your baby throughout the night.

Tranquil Turtle Ocean Projector Nightlight & Sound Machine ($50)

The plushy turtle is a fun friend to keep little ones comforted in bed. Simply turn on the music, and it will project an underwater effect across the ceiling through the top of its shell. After 23 minutes, it automatically turns off, but by then, they should be fast asleep.

*Editor's note: This turtle holds a special place in my heart. My sister used this for the first eight years of her life, and it always got her to fall asleep.

Unicorn Bluetooth Night Light ($28)

Curate your own bedtime playlist with lullabies, meditations, or nature sounds with the built-in Bluetooth speaker and remote. It's battery operated (and can also be powered using USB outlet), which makes it a cordless buddy to accompany them in bed.

Momcosy White Noise Machine With Night Light ($34, originally $60)

While this is technically a white-noise machine first, the night-light feature shouldn't be ignored. In addition to boasting 34 sounds (including nature sounds, white noises, lullabies, and fans), this machine also has seven colour light offerings, which can all be controlled remotely via phone or through touch controls. You can also program it to turn on and off based on the baby's sleep schedule to assist with sleep training.

Hatch Rest 2nd Generation Nightlight ($80)

The time-to-rise feature sets this night light apart from the rest. It allows you to pair light and sounds to build consistent habits and cue to your little one that it's time to get up in the morning or that it's time for bed. With more than 5,000 happy reviews on Nordstrom, reviewers can't rave enough about this bedtime accessory. "My son loves his hatch, he loves the ocean blue colour and sound to sleep. We also like the pre-bedtime routine schedule. We are happy with our hatch and are looking to get another one for our bedroom," one person wrote.
