Then you don't have to deal with the nightlight always being on. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Kidswitch-KST-101-Light-Switch-Extender/dp/B001KW8DDI/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1473699930&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=light+switch+extender" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Kidswitch-KST-101-Light-Switch-Extender/dp/B001KW8DDI/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1473699930&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=light+switch+extender</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-kid-beds-and-lighting-solutions#post-2620046 Mon, 12 Sep 2016 11:59:05 +0000 Foodnerd81 2620046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This never occurred to me- we just make her sit in the dark until her clock lights up! She can g t out of bed and leave the room, which she does as soon as her clock lights up, but before that she will roll around or play with her stuffed animal, or cry for us to come in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-kid-beds-and-lighting-solutions#post-2620013 Mon, 12 Sep 2016 11:21:28 +0000 gingerbebe 2620013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have push lights in our hallways that we stick to the walls with command strips. We got them for power outages and MOTN diaper changes for the baby. Its whichever best seller push light is on Amazon. Its pretty bright for a push light, but not as bright as a room light. I think you could probably install one or two over her bed and she can push it on to read a little. My son loves to push them on and off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-kid-beds-and-lighting-solutions#post-2620012 Mon, 12 Sep 2016 11:19:33 +0000 ShootingStar 2620012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have two night lights, plus his lamp has a button on the base so he could turn it on if he wanted, but he hasn't so far. We also have one of those twilight turtles he could turn on too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-kid-beds-and-lighting-solutions#post-2620011 Mon, 12 Sep 2016 11:19:25 +0000 looch 2620011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about giving her a remote for a table lamp, and then in the lamp using an LED bulb so it doesn't get hot to the touch?</p> <p>I use the remotes that they sell around the holidays, that are intended for Christmas trees. My son has one in his room for an LED 3D puzzle lamp that I would rather he didn't touch, so this solution works for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-kid-beds-and-lighting-solutions#post-2620004 Mon, 12 Sep 2016 11:01:06 +0000 catlady 2620004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your LO is in a big kid bed, can they turn on the light in their room in the morning if they get up before you? Or do you have some other solution (like a portable nightlight)?</p> <p>We just converted my toddler's crib to a toddler bed and she's doing great, but we use blackout curtains and I worry that it's too dark in the morning. She has been ok so far going to use her little potty and then getting back into bed, but I'd like her to be able to look at her books or toys if she is up before DH or I can get her. She can't reach any of the lightswitches though and her little night light is pretty dim. Not sure if I should give her access to a brighter light or if that will spell trouble if she doesn't want to go to bed in the evenings.</p> <p>Edited to add: We put something on her door so she can't open it, which is why it is so dark. Her bedroom is on the 2nd floor and ours is on the 3rd, and I don't want her on the stairs in the dark. </p>
