A good night light for a child has two jobs. It needs to give off a glow soft enough to relax by, but bright enough to find a water cup or a lost stuffed animal in the dark. And ideally, it should feel like a friend rather than a piece of equipment. The Silicone Rabbit Night Light does both beautifully. It is a squishy silicone rabbit with a calm warm glow, and a quick touch shifts it through seven gentle colors that children love to choose before they drift off.
It is also thoughtfully practical. A built in rechargeable battery means no cords near the bed, and a 3 hour auto off timer means no light left burning all night. That combination of comfort, charm and sensible design is what makes it such a good night light.
What makes the rabbit night light stand out
The softness comes first. The body is squishy, food safe silicone over an ABS base, gentle to the touch and safe to hug and carry to bed. At about 10.6 oz, it is light enough for a child to pick up, so it becomes a bedtime companion rather than a lamp that stays out of reach.
The light is the second strength. It glows in a calm warm white, cycles through seven changing colors, or holds a fixed single color, all set with a touch or the button switch. Children love choosing a color for the night, which turns the moment of switching off the big light into part of a comforting routine.
The battery is the third. A built in 1200mAh rechargeable lithium battery charges fully in about 3 hours with the included USB Type C cable, and runs about 10 hours in warm light mode or about 9 hours in color mode. The 3 hour auto off timer lets the glow keep a child company while they fall asleep, then switches off on its own.
Where it looks best, room by room
- Kids' bedrooms. A cuddly glow on the nightstand or in bed.
- Nurseries. Warm white light for night feeds and changes.
- Sleepovers and travel. Rechargeable, so it comes along wherever the child goes.
- Playrooms. A soft toy that lights up during quiet time.
- Grown up bedrooms. A charming, gentle glow for anyone who loves rabbits.
Because it is cordless, it can move through the day: on a playroom shelf in the afternoon, on the nightstand at bedtime, and cuddled in bed as a child falls asleep.
Choosing the size and placement
The rabbit measures 3.7 inches wide, 3.6 inches deep and 8 inches tall, and weighs about 10.6 oz. That compact size fits a crowded nightstand and is easy for small hands to carry.
A few habits help it work best:
- Charge it fully before first use, and charge it before bedtime rather than during.
- Place it where a child can reach it to change the color or switch it on.
- Use the 3 hour timer at bedtime, so it switches off after the child falls asleep.
- Keep the charging port away from water, and never submerge the light.
The Dimensions section above lists the measurements, so you can picture it on a child's nightstand.
Layering it with other lighting
In a child's room, the rabbit is the gentle last light of the day. A ceiling light handles playtime, a bedside lamp covers the bedtime story, and then the rabbit takes over, glowing warm white or a favorite color as the room settles.
For more soft lights, the night lights collection has other gentle glows for bedrooms and hallways, and the ambient and novelty collection has playful lamps for a child's room.
Warm white tends to be the most restful setting for sleep, while the color cycle is a fun part of the wind down. Many families let the child choose a color, then switch to warm white once the story is finished.
Care is simple. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth, use a slightly damp cloth for sticky spots and dry it right away, and charge it with the included USB Type C cable only.
It makes a lovely gift for a birthday, a new baby or a child moving into a big kid bed. It arrives with its charging cable and manual, ready to charge and cuddle.
Because the rabbit is portable, it is also handy on nights away from home. Tuck it into an overnight bag for a stay with grandparents or a family trip, and a familiar glow comes along too, which can make a strange room feel far less daunting for a young child. Charge it the day before you travel so it lasts through the night.
Is the rabbit night light right for your space?
This night light is a strong fit if you:
- Want a soft, huggable night light for a child.
- Like warm white light with seven colors to choose from.
- Prefer a rechargeable light with no cords near the bed.
- Want a timer that switches it off after the child falls asleep.
It may not be the right choice if you need a bright reading lamp or a light that stays plugged in all the time. A bedside lamp or a plug in night light would suit those needs better.
