Lumilove nightlights - bit like a Candeloo thingy - anyone got one or know of a good alternative

[FrannyandZooey]

they are here

I want something for ds to be able to take into loo with him if he needs to go in night
bit pricey aren't they?
anyone any comments or suggestions?

yes. go to ikea. they do a soft rechargeable version
its called a spoka

so it's portable? it looks like it has a cord

it plugs in to charge and then you pull out the plug and its hands free. its quite soft and rubbery, so tactile but doesnt get hot at all and lasts pretty much all night on one charge

oh thank you
it isn't available online so I can't get one but that was a great suggestion

nope but i have asked some kindly ladies here on mn as there isnt a ikea near me and they have posted one onto me

cgi.ebay.co.uk/VESSEL-CANDELA-2-LAMP-SET-CLEARANCE-ITEM_W0QQitemZ350055415138QQihZ022QQcategoryZ2951 3QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262 These are a little bit cheaper and you get 2...not quite as child orienteated though...

oh darned good idea
thanks mrsl
save me a few quid

some here, might be too young.

If you don't mind just a plain, push-on light rather than a 'child' light, I have one I can send you.

they're smart laidback
I'll see if anyone can get me an Ikea one first

This sort

thanks StG
I want the sort he can walk around with - atm we have landing light on but I want to start turning this OFF (so I can sleep better) and just give him his own nightlight he can use

You can walk around with those. They can be hung up or just left on a bedside table (switched on or otherwise) for the child to pick up.

We use the plain ones when we go camping.

hold on
the rechargeable ones only glow for 4 hours
so this isn't going to work is it?
I want them to be lit up during the night if he wakes up
and be able to carry them around
hmm

ah well maybe landing light will have to stay on anyway
we don't have a plug in the bathroom or landing or I would put the sort you recommend in there StG

oh I see it's battery operated! osorry didn't read properly

when it is switched on, how bright is it?

Not overly bright, but certainly sufficient as a night-light and to do loo-trips.

That's why we like them for camping. Bright enough to find something in the tent or to avoid tripping over ropes, but not so bright they disturb everyone else.

no that sounds possible
I want it fairly dim really
thanks StG that looks really good

the candela ones got bad reviews on US sites

We have the ikea ones

The ones on that site are cheap but the postage is bad.

Drop me a line, I'll send you one of my spares.

it is too bright to leave on all night
and he can't take it with him to the toilet

the rechargeable ones say they only last 4 hours, but after a year of having one of the ikea ones they STILL last easily till the morning

oh cod that sounds impressive

ah mrsl I think I may pick one up nect time we go
meanwhile StG is very kindly sending me one she doesn't need
