Automatic Night Lights In Illuminating Styles

(HIT) - When the lights go off at night, children’s imaginations turn on. Visions of ghosts, monsters and other scary creatures can keep your child awake, as well as other family members who are trying to sleep. In the darkness, a toy roller skate becomes a serious danger for children and adults. If you stumble near stairs or furniture, a stubbed toe is the least of your worries.

Indeed, nighttime can be a scary place for both imagined and real hazards. Never fear, however, because manufacturers offer automatic night lights that not only ease children’s fears of the dark, but lend an attractive, contemporary touch to any home.

These automatic night lights are extremely versatile and can be used in many rooms throughout a home. Some are ideal for a child’s room or bathroom, while others can be used as a practical decorative accent. Manufacturers have also added inexpensive technological enhancements to make night lights brighter and more energy efficient.

"Today’s night lights often have a built-in energy-saving photoelectric control that automatically turns them on at dusk and off at dawn," says Mike Einstein of Intermatic, a manufacturer of safety and security lighting products. "This feature eliminates the need to manually turn the unit on at night and off in the morning."

For the decor conscious, a wide variety of automatic night light models combine function with stylish flair, making a winning combination for night or day. Traditional night lights can be found with white, almond, blue, green, black or rose color bases. Sports lovers will adore the baseball, basketball and soccer ball models now available, while children will enjoy the crayon and pencil night models.

Some manufacturers now offer authentic seashell style night lights that use natural seashells as lenses. Users can choose from among yellow, purple or assorted colored clams, white scallops or carved purple scenery. Designer styles include shell night lights in white, almond, gold and blue. Art aficionados will be intrigued by the classical styling of unique art deco models. The color choices include black with a red insert or gold with a black insert.

Keeping in mind simple guidelines for safety and economy, choosing an automatic night light for your home is a relatively simple process. Many night lights utilize either a 4- or 7-watt bulb that provides visibility and safety while conserving energy. Some advanced models utilize microcircuits, which use less energy. This can add up to a big savings for multiple night light households.

Look for an automatic night light model that is UL listed, features a polarized plug and has a base made of heavy-duty plastic for maximum durability. Most local hardware stores, home centers, discount outlets and mass merchants carry a good selection of night light models.

"Best of all, they are guaranteed to repel ghosts and monsters, allowing the entire family a good night’s sleep," says Einstein.
