Night Light Alternative

This may have been mentioned elsewhere in the past but I haven't seen it: We have four young children and often dry camp with our travel trailer. The kids don't like to go to sleep in total darkness for obvious reasons so we've discovered that using the Costco LED Flameless Pillar Candles work great as a nightlight alternative. They flicker like a natural flame would and let off a nice low level light that isn't too bright but bright enough that the kids are happy. Just an idea for someone who might be in a similar situation.

Good idea!

What we've done... Our daughter likes the chemical "glow-sticks" that light up, so we let her have them as they are playing outside before hitting the sack. Then they get hung on a cabinet door or some other strategically placed location to help light the way if a potty break is needed.

Once the lights do out there is still enough light from LED indicators on TV, stereo, water pump etc. to navigate pretty easily.

You could also use one of those garden solar lights. Put outside during the day and bring in at night. Should work. Never need batteries.

We have all kinds of flicker lights in our off-road POPUP trailer setup. Greatest thing going... They run a long time on just one or two small batteries... Many many styles to choose from...

Some come on by them self when it gets dark...

Love our flicker LED candle lights
