Dinosaur Night Lights for Kids: Making Bedtime a Bit Less Scary
A gentle giant on the bedside table. Our wooden dinosaur lamps, why dinosaurs help with bedtime, and how to set the lamp up safely.
Key facts
- Dinosaur night lights turn a favourite interest into part of the bedtime routine.
- The collection includes a long-necked Diplodocus and a hatching dinosaur egg.
- The Diplodocus was a plant-eating sauropod, a gentle giant rather than a predator: ideal for bedtime.
- The lamps give a warm, dim glow, run on USB and stay cool overnight.
Why do dinosaur night lights help at bedtime?
A night light helps because the child can see the room is unchanged. A dinosaur light helps a little more, because it is their thing. Saying goodnight to the dinosaur, or “leaving the dinosaur on guard”, turns the light into part of the routine rather than a reminder that the dark is scary.
Which dinosaur lamp should you choose?
Two designs, two moods:
- Dinosaur Diplodocus: a long-necked plant-eater, a true gentle giant
- Dinosaur Egg: a baby dinosaur hatching; lovely for a younger sibling or a new baby
Why a Diplodocus rather than a T. rex?
Diplodocus was a sauropod, one of the very long, plant-eating dinosaurs with a small head on a long neck. It is impressive without being frightening, which makes it a better bedtime companion than a roaring predator. The egg design is gentler still.
How should a dinosaur lamp be set up?
The same rules as any child’s night light: warm and dim, across the room, low down, cable out of reach. See our guide to kids’ room night lights for placement by age, and our LED safety guide for the details on overnight use.
What else suits a dinosaur-mad child?
Children who love dinosaurs often love dragons and adventure too. Have a look at the dragon and fantasy lamps and our guide to fantasy lamps.
