First, let me say that this appears to be a well-designed product. It has worked as described. My concerns are with the way our children responded. We bought a pair of these for our kids (3yrs & 5yrs). We really wanted it for our 3-year-old because we’ve been fighting her to go to sleep at night. She has claimed that she’s “scared of the dark.” We got one for our son too because we wanted to be fair.
The problem is that these devices are bright enough that they light up a large area of the room and it just provided ongoing stimulation for our daughter so she wouldn’t go to sleep. In fact, she ended up keeping our son from sleeping because of the extended playtime this device provided.
We try to have our children in bed with lights out by 7:30pm, but it is usually around 8pm. On New Years Eve they stayed up a little later. At 9pm it was lights out (or so we thought). Our daughter did not calm down until after I finally took the TykeLight out of the room. That was at 10:30pm and it involved 90 minutes of returning to the room every time we heard her out of bed.
Perhaps this product will provide some security for other children. In our case, it just enabled our daughter to stay up later.

I bought one of these lights, our son loved it but it broke in a month. I emailed Mobi customer service, they got back to me with in a day. They sent us a brand new one free of charge. I couldnt beleive it. We have had the light for 7+ months, it works great.

Purchased this for my 2 1/2 year old daughter because it seemed like a fun night light and I liked the idea of it being multiple colors and also having a chargable base. Received it right away from Amazon.com and my daughter loved it. However, the light bulb immediately separated from the round base upon opening it, and there was no way to re-insert it securely (kept falling out). It worked fine for a few days, and then after unplugging it from the outlet to clean one day, it suddently wouldn’t work (light bulb not connecting w/ base). I emailed the company and after sending them a receipt, they promised to send a new one to us. We are still waiting and it’s been at least a few weeks. I should’ve listened to the other reviewers and saved my money. Hoping that the replacement one works and lasts, but I don’t have a lot of confidence in the product.

Our daughter owned an older version of a TykeLight and used it without fail for 2 years. We received three GloMates as gifts. Two of them stopped working after 2 weeks. I received replacements directly from MOBI (after paying for return shipping myself). One of the replacements does not work. No more for us.

I saw this and thought it was so cute and a great idea to address the night light issues I think we all have as parents. I bought this for my 3 year old as a Christmas present and was so excited to get it all charged up for her. Everything seemed to work good for about 6 weeks. The light stopped working after using it and no matter what we did to try to recharge it, nothing worked. So, now I have a “cute” night light that doesn’t work and we’ve had to resort back to using the old stand-by you get at your local hardware store. It’s still sits on my daughter’s dresser only because I haven’t pitched it yet. I’m pretty disappointed in this product and never like to spend money on something that stops working soon after it’s purchased. I suppose with all of the other reviews, it’s 50-50 whether or not it will work for any given family. I would be very cautious before purchasing this again and if I did purchase it again, I would certainly keep all of the packaging and invoice that came with it for a speedy return should it stop working again. Unfortunately, all of that got thrown out with the rest of the Christmas wrapping paper and boxes. Too bad. I could certainly use that money on something more worthwhile. Bottom line: if you order this, keep the packaging and invoice handy – you may need it sooner than you think.
