Dimmest night light

Could anyone please recommend a very very dim night light - everything I've found i lights up the whole room and I'm just after the tiniest glow. Been googling for an hour now!
Thanks so much

These are brilliant:

They charge up with a usb cable but one charge lasts weeks. They have a graded setting from brught to very very dim but will come on with the same brightness as they had when last turned off. They come with magnetic discs to position them - I have half a dozen in strategic locations where I might need to see at night including in the medicine cabinet and on the stairs. They are great for if you have to do a middle-of-the-night bedding change and want to keep light kevels as low as possible to aid getting back to sleep.

Oh thank you so much but I suspect that's too bright too . I've got a dimmable white light one which seems really dim but by the middle of the night it's lighting up the whole room. I think I might be asking the impossible l.

Get a red one? Red light doesn't interfere with melatonin production.

@gotmychristmasmiracle That’s exactly where we have ours, they’re brilliant.

Thanks I'll have a look at red ones. Sorry I probably should have mentioned it's a light for DS's room, he's used to pitch black but is wanting a tiny glow of a light.

We've covered our calpol one in electrical tape to make it dimmer. (Why are they so bright!?!)

We have these too, as you can still use the plug.

(But don't spend £12 on one! -ours was about £3 in b&m I think)

Red is best. I have seen strips of little red lights that you can lie on the floor so they are not in eye line view.
They are in baby shops.

The Gro Company Gro Grolight 2-in-1 Night Light amzn.eu/d/eqcMNeg

This one! Attaches into the light fitting, you just turn the light switch off and on again to switch between night light and the normal bulb. Has a sliding adjustment for brightness.

I think you need something glow in the dark rather than a nightlight. It doesn't matter how dim something is, it will light up the whole room in comparison to pitch black - I am bothered even by the LED highlights on our baby monitor 🙄

Whatever they use in the glow in the dark dummies - those things are incredibly long lasting and strong! Also Carters' PJs from the US (bought online) have glow in the dark which is incredibly strong and has survived tumble drying etc.

Hi there @letshaveachangeshallwe, did you ever find anything for this? I'm looking for exactly the same thing!

Red plug in lights from Amazon
