Nursery Wall Lights & Night Lights

Nursery wall lights and night lights cast your baby’s room a soft glow. Since they lend the room a comforting atmosphere, they are ideal for feeding and soothing your baby at night without waking the baby up. If you’re decorating a new nursery room or want a tenderer and more relaxing routine for your baby’s nights, these nursery lights create the desired atmosphere for the room and your baby. 

Nursery Wall Lights vs Nursery Night Lights

“Wall light” and “night light” have a shared purpose, providing gentle, adequate lighting during the evening and night hours. However, they’re not quite identical. 

A wall light is usually a decorative lighting option, which is positioned on and fixed to a wall. A night light is a small, portable or plug-in light in order to create enough glow for nappy changes and feeds while your baby eases into sleep.

At ebebek, we currently focus on night lights: sensor-activated lamps such as Dreambaby‘s lamp, soft silicone models such as Koala‘s design, and colour changing options such as Badabulle‘s projector. Notably, all night lights are designed to provide soft, just-enough lighting in the babies’ rooms so as not to disturb them with too much light at night. 

As a parent, you can place night lights on a shelf or bedside table. In this way, you can find your own sense of calm as you watch your baby settle peacefully into the softly lit and tranquil night atmosphere you’ve created.

Sensor and Colour Changing Lights

Sensor night lights switch on automatically in the dark when they detect any physical movement. This is very convenient when you enter your baby’s room even with your hands full, because if you have a night light like this, you don’t have to reach out and use your hand to turn it on. After all, ceiling lights and other lighting can disturb your baby’s sleep at night. 

Colour changing, RGB night lights are another popular choice for a nursery room. They allow you to set a calming tone, often warm amber or soft pastel shades. Also, some designs cycle gently through colours, which can provide your baby a soothing focal point before sleep.

Choosing a Safe Nursery Light

• It should be cool when you touch it, even after hours of use.

• It should use low, warm light rather than harsh white or blue tones.

• It should have no small, detachable parts within a baby’s reach.

• It should come with a cable that can be routed away from the crib and secured.

A soft silicone night light, such as our Baby Plus Koala design, are highly suitable choice for safe nursery lighting. Sensor lights such as our Clippasafe range add further convenience for night-time feeds.

FAQs

What is the best light for a nursery?

A soft, low glow light is the most preferable option, as it’s calming for your baby and practical lighting alternative during feeding time. In addition, sensor and colour changing night lights are popular choices for nursery rooms, since they appeal to parents with different functional and aesthetic preferences.

Are night lights safe for babies?

Yes, if meeting the basic safety criteria. You should choose lights designed for children that stay cool even after hours of use when you touch them. They should also feature a low, warm light, and have no accessible small parts that could pose a risk to your baby. Last but not least, you should position the night light’s cable where your baby cannot reach them.

Do sensor night lights turn on automatically?

Yes. Many sensor night lights turn on in darkness when they detect movement. Thanks to this automatic feature, when their hands are full such as during a night feed, you can enter the nursery room without having to reach for a switch.

What colour light is best for a baby’s room?

Warm, dim light, often amber or red toned, is gentlest at night because it’s less likely to disrupt your baby’s sleep than bright white or blue light.
