'I no longer injure myself': These cozy, dimmable nightlights are down to $10 a pair

You're all comfy in bed, snoozing soundly, when all of a sudden ... you're jolted awake with the urge to pee. Bummer! But these midnight misfortunes happen to all of us, and while we can't do much on the bodily-function front, we can help you avoid stubbing your toe en route to the bathroom. Let there be light! The L Lohas LED Dimmable Nightlight, that is. This highly rated plug-in automatically turns on when it senses darkness and, as its name implies, has a dimmer function, allowing you to choose your desired brightness level. But what made us experience a real lightbulb moment? Realizing we could snag a pair on sale at Amazon for a mere 10 bucks.

Why is it a good deal? ????

According to our price trackers, this markdown brings these lights to as low as they've been since 2023. Plus, they have more features than your average nightlight, and you'll be able to use them for up to 30,000 hours. Note that you'll have to be a Prime member to score them for $10, but non-members can get 'em marked down to $13.

Why do I need this? ????

Low visibility at night can contribute to trips, falls and injuries. As familiar as you are with your home's layout, you don't want a sleeping dog or errant toy to send you on a trip to Concussionville. That said, nightlights that are too harsh can be jarring when you're still in sleepytime mode. That's why these dimmable models are so beloved.

By sliding the front switch up and down, you'll be able to increase or decrease their brightness, and the soft white light they emit provides a cozy glow. You won't have to worry about forgetting to turn them on at night, either; as long as they're plugged in, they'll automatically light up when the space they're in goes dark.

What reviewers say ????

More than 6,800 en"light"ened Amazon shoppers thought so highly of this set that they gave it a glowing five-star rating.

Pros ????

"I want one for every room," wrote one repeat buyer. "I’ve now bought three pairs ... and I intend to buy another pack! ... I no longer injure myself approaching my platform bed."

"I really love these; just plug them in, and they only come on when the light gets really dim," shared another content customer. "I prefer these because the light the newer kind puts out is so bright, it hurts my eyes. The nicest feature is that you can actually set how dim or bright you want [it], and the light is always a soft white, even on the brightest setting."

"My mother-in-law has taken several falls over the past few months, so I bought her these nightlights to try and give her a little extra light," explained a third. "I like that they come in a 2-pack (perfect for the bedroom and the bathroom) and also that these are triggered to come on when it’s dark. So far, she has felt a little safer having some extra light and hasn’t taken another fall."

"This is a great light for the nursery," raved a new parent. "We are able to change diapers and don't have to trip in the dark. The brightness is adjustable and very warm, so no bright light, which wakes the baby up."

Cons ????

"Love the brightness adjustment," said a generally impressed shopper. "[The] only thing I dislike is there’s no 'off' button, so I have to unplug every day after use."

"It has a nice, soft light that is great for sleeping, and the dimmable feature is so nice. It even adjusts according to how much light is in the room," said a final fan. Their one note? "The only way this light could be better is if the wall plug folded in to make it flatter for travel."

Of course, some nighttime lights are less desirable than others...

When the blinking light on your router starts taunting you from across the room while you're trying to doze off, it's this sheet of stickers to the rescue. They can be placed over pretty much any light emanating from your electronics to reduce/eliminate the glow by 50–80%. That said, if you'd like to obstruct the light entirely, you can layer the stickers for a complete blackout effect.

"They work!" summed up this relieved reviewer. "I have several devices in my home that have eye-piercing operating lights on them, including some in my bedroom. If I get up at night, they wake up my brain too much, but I did not want to cover them with something opaque, as the lights are the only way to know if something is on or not ... love this easy and inexpensive solution to an annoying problem."
