Hi,

I am getting DD a night light. But I don't want her to be touching it in the middle of the night etc. She has no tall boy etc in her room.. Basically it is her toddler bed, with a single bed next to it and that's it.

So, I am wondering where I can put the night light? I have looked around to see if Command make any sort of shelving out of their products so I don't have to go around drilling holes in the walls..

I can only find hooks from them :(

Any ideas without having to damage walls etc? I want it fairly high up too, out of her reach (even if she were to climb on the bed etc)

Thanks in advance!

Try something like this http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Exquisite-Snow-Style-Wall-Light-Bedroom-Night-Light-NEW_W0QQitemZ260467509699QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Lig hting_Fans?hash=item3ca512c9c3&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

they look great and she won't be able to reach it up on the wall :thumbsup: and they just use the suction cup to stick on..

you can also get smaller led light things that you press like a button, they have the sticky backing (like the stuff that is on the back of child safety locks etc.) I have one of these in the hallway for finding my way in the dark.

They do look really nice.. I almost wish dd still needed a night light :laughing:

It might be a pain replacing batteries all the time (though I imagine they wouldn't need to be replaced very often) but much better than your dd being able to get the cord or touch the light etc.

Dimmer switches on the main ceiling light are good also.

We put our little miss' on the top shelf in her cupboard and would leave the door open. Failing that can you tie some string to the light so you can hand it on the hook that way?

Th enight light I bought is portable, it charges in the day, and you use it at night kinda thing..

Only I don't want her thinking it is a toy to play with. She does this with everything. This is just going to stay in her room and keep her company while i occasionally leave her room to tend to my youngest!

I was thinking that.. or making some sort of tiny hammock to sit the light in..

more worried about the heat the light lets off? Will have to see when it comes in the mail to see if it emits much heat.. you would think cos it is portable it would be okay to touch hence not get warm?

We have something similar in the hallway. It's great, led too so it will last for ages. I didn't want something that would need plugging into a socket because I know my DS would have been really curious about it and cause more dramas.
