What did you do the last time you experienced a power outage? Did you burn candles? Did you rely on flashlights? Or did you simply wait in the dark for the power company to restore service?

We’ve found a great solution and have chosen to feature it in our Bonashi review. This 2-piece set of LED lights is perfect for power outages and more. The Bonashi LED lights are motion activated to conserve power, and they emit light enough to find your way around your home in the dark. The lights come with a 100% money back guarantee, so if you’re not satisfied just contact the manufacturer.

It’s certainly worth noting that these aren’t simply emergency lights. Customers find that the LED lights are great for stairwells, closets, garages and even basem*nts. The eco friendly night lights provide ample light to find that perfect pair of shoes in the morning without waking your partner, or for lighting your way to the kitchen for a midnight sip of water. Your light will remain on for 25 seconds before powering off to conserve energy.

We chose to include a eufy review on our list of the most eco-friendly night lights for a number of reasons. First, we just love this little set of night lights. Secondly, however, eufy is an Anker brand.

Anker is one of the most responsible, forward-thinking and responsible electronics companies when measured against similar businesses in the industry. The company is committed to reducing e-waste across each of its brands which include eufy, Soundcore and more.

This 4-pack of lights fits in nicely with the Anker brand. The eufy lights are eco-friendly, they conserve energy and they’re fully recyclable. Of course, we wouldn’t include eufy on our list if they weren’t useful and innovative products. These eco-friendly night lights simply plug into your outlet, wherever you like. A light sensor will activate them from dusk until dawn (or similar lighting) and deactivate them in daylight. Eufy estimates that it will cost around $.30 per year to operate one of these night lights, based on 12 hours of use each day. The design of this product allows you to plug in the light permanently without obstructing the second outlet.

Are you looking for a cool blue light to lull your little one to sleep at night? If so, our Reminda review is what you need. This space-saving, energy-saving little night light emits a soft azure glow that’s deactivated by ambient light. When the sun begins to set, the light will come on, and in the morning the eco-friendly night light will automatically turn off.

This LED nightlight requires no bulb and under normal conditions will run for at least 30,000 hours. Customers who have bought Reminda night lights love that the lights won’t block the second outlet – perfect for the changing table beside the wipe warmer or bottle warmer. They also love the energy savings of these green night lights; it’s estimated that the light costs around $.02 per year to operate. Reminda eco-friendly night lights come in packs of four, so you’ll have plenty to plug into your bathroom, your kitchen or wherever else you may need a gentle light.

We love the look of the little night light we’ve chosen for our Veesee review. The vintage design of this lamp will fit in with most any décor, and is sure to be a conversation starter. If you’re not a fan of the vintage look, there are other options available as well, from a moon lamp to a color-changing “building block” design. Use the little translucent blocks to shape your lamp into whatever you like!

Whichever design fits best into your home, we know you’ll love the features of this Veesee lamp. It’s fully reghargeable via USB, and a full charge lasts around 12 hours. The color-changing model has two operating modes. Use the switch to toggle between a rotation or eight colors and a simple, soft white glow. Customers of Veesee say the light is perfect for both night owls and for early risers. Switching on the light won’t disturb your partner while you read in the evening or get dressed for work in the morning.

In most cultures, dragonflies are a sign of good luck, representing transformation and self-realization. You can bring the beauty of these creatures into your home with our ALIREA review. This little ALIREA night light depicts colorful dragonflies on a gorgeous teal pond; we think it’s perfect for the bathroom. Alternatively, plug the light in in your child’s room for your little one to enjoy as he drifts off to sleep.

The LED bulb is meant to last for 100,000 hours of use, which under normal conditions is around ten years. There’s never a need to replace the LED bulb. It’s estimated that this dragonfly night light will cost around $.25 each year to operate, making it eco-friendly and cost-saving.

Next on our list of the top eco-friendly night lights is our Bekhic review. We think this adorable little night light is perfect to give as a baby shower gift. You won’t find any pinks or blues here, just a sweet little chick who’s just been hatched. It’s affordable, too, so be sure to grab one for your own little ones as well.

The chick night light by Bekhic is light-activated and is safely portable with no breakable pieces. Carry this little guy with you as you travel for late night feedings and diaper changes or trips to the bathroom. Parents who have bought this little chick say it’s durable and won’t get hot to the touch, making it safe to put beside your child’s bed or crib.

The next night light on our list is our Sensky review. This is a unique night light that features three different modes of operation, depending upon your preferences and habits. The first mode is Auto 1, which will turn a small guide light on in the front when ambient light dims. The second, Auto 2, will activate both a front light and a light in the rear of the device. The third will illuminate a rear light when motion is sensed.

We love the concept of this Sensky light for several reasons. First, as the brighter light is in the rear of the device, you won’t have to worry about bright lights in your eyes as you make a midnight trip to the kitchen for a drink. Secondly, we love the front light as a whole. This slightly dimmer light acts almost as a runway, guiding you safely without disturbing others. Of course, we love that the light is eco-friendly and planet-safe, too. The light features nine LEDs which will last for years. It’s shipped and boxed in green packaging and with minimal waste. Overall, this is just a great little light for your stairwells, hallways or wherever else you need it.

It can be unnerving to come home from work to a dark home. Rather than fumble for the light switch, why not place one of these motion-activated night lights by your front door? Our WRalwaysLX review features a sleek night light that’s designed to turn on when you pass within six feet of the sensor.

The light itself comes in a variety of options you can choose from. Decide whether you like the round style or the square style. Then, choose between a true white or an orange-white, or opt for the color changing model of this eco-friendly night light. The WRalwaysLX light operates with AAA batteries, so be sure you’ve got three rechargeables handy. Customers say batteries will hold a charge in this lamp for months, and that the motion sensor on the light is set at the perfect sensitivity.

For a similar light to the WRalwaysLX lamp, look to our ZEEFO review. This light has features comparable to the previous but is available in a slightly different style. The ZEEFO light operates with three AAA batteries and is also a motion-activated device. The range of detected motion is also around six feet and the light will automatically turn off after approximately 20 seconds, conserving battery life.

Customers who have chosen the ZEEFO motion-activated light love its portability. It’s the perfect little lamp for power outages, just be sure to keep your rechargeable batteries charged! Mothers love this lamp for night-time feedings and even the occasional bedtime story. Furthermore, this eco-friendly nightlight is a favorite among seniors with limited mobility.

Next on the list of the most earth-friendly night lights is our DEEPLITE review. We simply love the look of this light, and while it’s more of a lamp than a night light, the portability and convenience compelled us to include it on our list.

The DEEPLITE night light is run using three AA batteries and is fantastic for camping and travel. A durable wood base coupled with a soft LED light make it great for outdoors adventures. Pack up your gear by the light of this little lamp, or simply use it at home on your bedside table. The DEEPLITE night light offers three modes. Keep it set to auto to turn on when motion is detected within ten feet. Turn it off entirely to conserve battery power for the next power outage or trip to the woods. Or, simply keep it on and allow the gentle light to serve as a nightlight for you and your family.

The night lights featured in our BesDio review are appealing for little kids, but we think you’ll be unable to resist playing with this light, too. A soft silicone surrounds a colorful LED display, and the night light is touch activated. Tap through eight color options to choose your favorite, or allow this little light to cycle through them on its own.

Babies love handling the BesDio night light, and that’s okay! These lights are made from toy-grade material and are safe for little hands to explore. LED bulbs will never get hot, and the squishy material that comprises this light is smooth to the touch. There are actually quite a few options available when you use this light. It’s dimmable, features a night light mode, and of course the ever popular rainbow option is always a hit. Customers of BesDio say the battery life on this light is excellent, and that the light is great to toss into a suitcase for nights away from home.

The last product on our list of the top eco-friendly night lights is our Yisam review. This light comes in two different styles; choose from the wood design or the sleek and modern colorful design. Either way, you’ll enjoy the eco-friendly nature of the Yisam night light. This lamp is a great option for your older children’s bedrooms; they’ll love customizing the settings and colors. An SOS emergency light is one of those settings, so the lamp is also a good option for travel. Otherwise, children can brighten or deepen the color they’d like to see displayed with a simple touch of a button. A flashing option is also available – super fun for sleepover parties!

The Yisam night light is BPA and lead free, and there are no breakable parts. That said, your children can snuggle up or read with the light in bed in complete safety. We also love the attached metal handle which allows you to hang the light near a changing table, or in a blanket fort!
