The things that excite us as we get older never cease to surprise me anymore. My latest gadget, the Casper Glow Night Light [1] ($35 for two), might just be my favorite home addition of 2022 so far. I already own the popular bedside lights [2] from Casper [3] that help you wake and go to sleep, so when the brand launched this nightlight, naturally I was a little too excited.
If you're wondering why smart lights bring me so much joy, it's because my apartment has harsh white lights that make me squint the second I turn them on. I find that smart lights are not only easier on my eyes, but they're also even more relaxing. I'm someone who wakes up in the middle of the night for a glass of water or to use the restroom, and turning on my light is something I try to avoid — but in most cases can't. That's why this nightlights is so handy.
The smart design [4] just plugs right into the wall, and throughout the day, the nightlights don't turn on. At night, they sense both darkness and you. The motion-sensor technology only turns on when it senses you come within a certain distance. I have to say my nightly bathroom visits are much easier now that I don't even have to think about it because the technology does the work for me. Lastly, I love that they look sleek and stylish, and in the daytime, I forget they're even there. Keep reading to shop them for yourself.
