I purchased this for myself (no children in the home) and I am loving it. I had been using a nightlight skill on my Echo for a few years but sometimes Alexa had a hard time understanding my sleepy voice and by the time I said "Alexa make my night light glow" 3-4 times until she finally understood what I was saying I was wide awake lol. This little light is perfect. I still use Alexa to turn it on & I use it several times a night from the time I go to bed and then get up for the day & thus far, Alexa has understood me every time. I named it Archie & I just give Alexa the command to turn Archie on/off, increase/ decrease brightness, etc. I like the fact that I can adjust the brightness - for example, when I first go to bed I like it a little brighter when I am arranging my pillows (I call it nesting); sometimes I leave it on all night. Having green eyes makes me very sensitive to lights especially at night & this gives me the option of changing to a color that does not make me squint or wake me up in the dead of night. I prefer the rotating colors but you can set it for a solid color or a campfire effect. It does have a disco effect but I haven't found much use for that but I am sure the kids would love that. You can set a timer or use it to help wake you up. I have 4 cats & it helps me see who is on the bed with me in the dark. I used to like it pitch black in the room but after a health scare this past summer I added a constant nightlight in my bedroom and I had yet to find one that didn't bother my eyes. I read this was coming out & pre-ordered it in September and I am glad that I waited & got this before buying anything else. I am all about Amazon and Alexa enabled devices & this is definitely a useful tool to add to my collection of devices in my home. You can change the setting from Alexa enabled to tapping the light to turn it off & on but mine is not on my nightstand and that wouldn't work for me. I don't see a need to have one in every room but I am sure if I had children in the home they would all want one. I remember when my daughter was a baby I installed a red bulb in a lamp in her room because I had read it would allow you to see without causing the wake up effects of a regular bulb. This would have been great to have back then & I could have experimented with different colors to see which worked best for my situation. The rotating colors blend seamlessly from one to the next creating a soothing effect if you are looking at it. I just got it so I can't speak as to how long it will last or what to do if the bulb(s) go out but I am sure a call to customer service will result in a quick answer when/if that time comes. There is no batteries so a power outage will be miserable since I am already attached to the convenience of it. I would definitely purchase this as a gift for a small child or expectant mother & I think that they would be delighted.

Easy to connect. Very bright. Lots of colors to choose from. Am I tired of hearing “Alexa turn my light *insert color*? Absolutely but it makes my daughter happy. I do like that you can tap it to change the color as well.

I got this to have hard to miss visual attention getter. For this it has worked great. You can set it to come on and go off at different times using Alexa like a visual alarm clock. In our case, we use it to get our son's attention when he is playing video games so he knows it is time to get ready for bed. The device itself appears to be well made. It comes with a USB-C power cable and power adapter. It can display 16 solid colors at varying levels of brightness. It also has some visual effects like cycling through rainbow colors, siren, campfire, etc. You could use it for a child's night light. It is controllable via the Alexa app or using your voice with an Alexa device. Note that this light itself does not have a mic or speaker to be able to interact directly with it using your voice. You can manually cycle through colors by tapping the top of the light and it has a manual on/off button on the back. Overall it does its job well of being a programmable light. I took off one star for the cost since it is on the expensive side for just a smart light.
