Is it too bright? We want a nightlight for our bed room that's very dim. We would actually like the room pitch dark but we co sleep with our kids, so we would need a little bit of light. Our current one is too bright for us. Any suggestions on a night...

It is fairly bright. A solution might be putting in a blue bulb. Not the light blue but blue from Christmas light.

It isn't as bright as i would like it to be. It also requires a certain kind of bulb that doesn't give off a lot of light. It also depends on how big the room is. Hope this helps!

I am so, so sorry I didn't pay attention to this email - thought it was another advertisement. It's a very small lamp, the shade is 6 inches at its widest span. The lamps are at my Mom's house but I can check in the next couple of days to see how easy it would be to change the shade. You might want to consider a transparent paint or glaze or even a light weight fabric and cover the existing shade. I think the lamp would be wonderful in a nursery. It's not a bright light - it's a soft light. It would also be good in a bathroom where you're not needing a lot of light in the middle of the night.

I'm using it in my living room area and I would say it would make a bedroom very bright. One thing you can do is use the more expensive lightbulbs that they talk about but I'm using the older version so it is not so bright for me. Hope this helps.

I would definitely buy it again. In fact, I was thinking of getting another one for a different room. It is simple to use and works well. It has two tiny lights on the on/off buttons. I have it by my bedside, so I just turned it away from the bed and covered the lights with dark tape. I like it to be pitch black in my room.

The dimmer has a way of lowering the minimum brightness setting. If you read the instructions, it is under the "Setting Minimum Light Level (Programming mode)" in the "Operation" section. That said, when I tried doing it, it didn't bring the brightness level down below the default setting. So, maybe you can bring it up, but not down further than the default. We ended up putting lower lumen bulbs in one room where I wanted the minimum brightness to be lower.

Hello, I have a dimmer switch in my bedroom and I put the switch in the middle and the night light is still on. It's a great night light real bright. I will definitely recommend it.

"Too Bright" or "Just Right" is a matter of personal preference and perception. To me, the blue light is no problem at all. The reason why electronic manufacturers have started to use blue instead of red, orange, green, etc is that it is a pleasing color and not harsh to most eyes. If you sleep with your eyes open, it might be a problem but, under normal circumstances, it is not too bright. Most night lights are much brighter than the Orsani LED's.

No, it's great. We use it on my 3 yr olds bed for reading. No problems and I love that we can adjust the brightness.

It is quite bright but we like it that way. Difficult to say if it would keep a baby awake. If the baby requires semi-darkness, I'm afraid this light would be too bright, especially in a small nursery.

Ours is in a dim hallway with no direct natural light, and it is off during the day. It only comes on at night when none of the bedroom lights are on and the hall is dark. It does exactly what we wanted it to do.

I could be dark inside but not pitch black, you would have to tape it shut to make it pitch black. Our kids pulled a little lamp inside but with the windows open there is light to play, if you want to read or see well though you should put a small battery operated light inside. A flashlight works great!

In a well lit room, it should be fine. The room ours stays in gets lots of natural light during the day and we don't need extra lighting inside the house. In a darker room, you might have a problem, but my daughter thinks it's fun to sit in it at night with a flashlight :-)

I actually wasn't sure so I took a book and the nightlight in to the closet and yes, when it's held up closer to the book, it is bright enough. My kids (4 and 3) LOVE this nightlight! It does turn off on it's own after 15 or so minutes I believe. It's really light and pretty durable, we have had these lights for a while now and haven't had to change the battery yet either.

No, it's not a very bright light. We have recessed lighting in the bedroom as well as the fan light. I wouldn't recommend it as your only light source.

This bulb provides general low lighting (equivalent to a 30 or possibly 40 watt incandescent bulb). It's in the corner of our small TV room. On the darker color settings, it still provides sufficient light to navigate. On the lighter colors (yellow, orange, and white) it provides general low lighting. In my opinion, the bulb would be too bright for a nightlight even on the lowest setting (except perhaps in a hallway, for nighttime navigation).

It's a pretty soft light. However in a pitch black room it would seem pretty bright. I use it to light up the bottom of a stairway when I go downstairs in the middle of the night,and it lights the whole area. Say a 6ft circle. But it's not a blinding light even if you stare at the shade. You might consider one with a dimmer switch or install one on a corded lamp (check youtube). I love mine. I'll probably get another one at some point. Hope this helps.
