Panda Night Lights

Panda night light: a soothing glow for baby's nights

Our panda night lights come in soft rechargeable silicone, as a light-up plush and as a wall light. All of them can go in the nursery from birth; depending on the product page, your child can then handle them from 18 months or from 3 years. They glow warm white or change colour, depending on the model.

Our panda night lights compared

This table brings together the features listed on the product page of each panda night light in the collection: material, power, light and dimensions. At a glance, you can see which panda is touch-controlled, which one changes colour and which one stays warm white.

All our panda night lights can go in the nursery from birth. The right-hand column shows the age from which the child can handle the light on their own, as stated on the product page.

Silicone, plush or wall-mounted: which material?

Soft silicone suits a child who wants to hold their panda close: it is rechargeable, cordless and fits in the hand, at 9 to 14 cm tall. The larger light-up plush takes the place of a comforter. The iron wall model stays fixed to the wall and frees up the bedside table.

• Soft silicone panda: most of the collection. Some product pages specify “BPA-free” (Baby Panda, Kids' Panda, Multicolour Panda, Rechargeable Panda, Stretching Panda, LED Panda, Portable Panda, Classic Panda).
• Light-up plush panda: the Panda Plush, 28 cm tall, in plush fabric filled with PP cotton, whose all-white tummy lights up in changing colours. More light-up comforters are waiting in our plush night lights.
• Wall-mounted panda: the Panda Wall Light, a panda on a cloud that plugs into the mains like a wall lamp, with 3 colour temperatures.

Rechargeable, battery or mains panda night light?

The silicone pandas are all rechargeable; the plush runs on batteries and the wall light on mains power (details in the FAQ below).

Once charged, the rechargeable models work cordlessly: no cable trailing near the bed at night, and a night light you can take anywhere, from the living room to your own bed, right up to nights at the grandparents'. To compare other cordless models, see our portable rechargeable night lights.

None of our panda night lights plays music or white noise: their job is light alone.

Red Panda or black-and-white panda?

Our Red Panda Night Light is not a replica of the red panda, the animal from the Himalayan forests. It is a black-and-white panda face tucked into an orange silicone hood, glowing warm white. The classic black-and-white pandas offer more choice of light and features.

The real red panda is a different animal from the giant panda: it has a reddish-brown coat and a long ringed tail, and does not belong to the bear family. As night lights, here is what differs between the two:

Choose the Red Panda for its orange colour, which stands out in a room that is already very black and white. Go for a black-and-white panda if you want to adjust the brightness, change colour or set an automatic switch-off.

Why choose a panda night light for your child?

• Reassurance when afraid of the dark: a soft light and a familiar face by the bed
• Easier night-time wake-ups for parents: dim lighting means no need to switch on the ceiling light that fully wakes baby
• Building a bedtime routine: switching on the panda becomes a clear signal that “it's time to sleep”
• A comfort object: the soft silicone models can be held like a cuddly toy
• A travel companion: easy to carry, it is a reassuring friend for nights away from home

If you are torn between several animals, our selection of kids' night lights brings together other models for the child's bedroom.

How to set up and use a panda night light

A panda lamp placed too close to the child's face shines straight at it: put it next to the bed instead.

• Keep the night light away from the child's face, so the light stays indirect
• Avoid shelves above the bed, in case it falls
• Choose a spot visible from the bed so your child can spot it straight away on waking
• Use the timer if the model has one: 30 minutes on most of our pandas, 15, 30 or 60 minutes on the Multicolour Panda

For cleaning, a slightly damp microfibre cloth with no detergent is all the silicone needs. Dust the charging port from time to time.

Panda night lights compared with other light-up animals

Our silicone pandas keep a bedside-table size, and their black and white suits a girl's or a boy's room alike.

• Bunny night light: long ears as a bonus, to discover in our bunny night light collection
• Dinosaur night light: a world loved by children fascinated by prehistory, in our selection of dinosaur night lights

Frequently asked questions about panda night lights

From what age can you give a panda night light?

A panda night light can go in the nursery from birth. The handling age depends on the model: most of our silicone pandas can be handled by the child from 18 months, while the Multicolour Panda, the Panda Plush and the Panda Wall Light are recommended from 3 years.

Rechargeable or battery-powered panda night light?

Our silicone panda night lights are rechargeable via USB, and the Rechargeable Panda charges via USB-C: no batteries to change and no cable at night. The Panda Plush is the only panda in the collection that runs on batteries, and the Panda Wall Light plugs into the mains.

Plush or silicone panda night light?

The silicone panda is 9 to 14 cm tall depending on the product page, recharges via USB and can often be handled from 18 months. The Panda Plush is 28 cm tall, can be cuddled like a comforter, lights up in changing colours, runs on batteries and is recommended from 3 years.

Is there a red panda night light?

Yes, the Red Panda Night Light: a black-and-white panda face in an orange silicone hood, which glows warm white and recharges via USB. It evokes the red panda without copying it, as this reddish-brown animal from the Himalayas is different from the giant panda.

Is a panda night light safe for a baby?

Every panda night light in the collection states CE and RoHS certification and the recommended handling age on its product page. Several product pages also mention BPA-free silicone and an LED that does not heat up. Before handing it to your child, check the age shown on the product page of the model you choose.
