Forget nightmares and monsters under the bed — the real nighttime terror is how dark your house gets at night. Darkness makes it difficult to fumble your way to the bathroom or down the stairs to your kitchen for a midnight snack. With the help of some cozy night lights, however, you can brighten a dark hallway and keep your house looking stylish. Thankfully, the DORESshop LED Night Light is a fantastic solution to this problem, and it has a chic design. Plus, it has adjustable features that are incredibly handy and will make you want to put one in every outlet in your home.

Although there are a ton of attractive night lights to choose from, this cute two-pack from DORESshop shines brighter than the rest — or not, if you choose to adjust it lower — and will only set you back a mere $20. They're even available in multiple designs and color temperatures. And with three adjustable brightness levels, you can control how much light you want in a particular hallway or room at any time. One user gushed in a review, saying, "The brightness options are a really nice feature & they provide ample light. I think they've been a great investment so far." (via Amazon)

This charming LED night light offers a fantastic array of handy features, including a built-in light sensor. This sensor automatically turns the light off once it reaches a certain brightness level in your room each morning, and back on once it starts getting dim in the evening. A discreet button on the side lets you manually adjust the brightness, with options for 30, 60, or 100 lumens. The default option on Amazon is Warm White at 3,000 Kelvin, but there are other color temperature options available, ranging from Amber at 2,200 Kelvin up to a cool Daylight White at 5,000 Kelvin, so you can choose the soft or warm light option you like best.

It has a minimalist modern design with a matte black finish that will easily blend in with most home decor. It measures one inch thick in every direction, and its small build means it does not block the other plug in your outlet, so you can still plug in vacuums or anything else with ease. And since it plugs in, you won't ever have to worry about changing out batteries, either.

The light shines out of both the top and bottom of the device, adding the perfect touch to your home, no matter where you plug it in. It's a solid and more stylish decor choice for kids' bedrooms and stairways, of course, but it's also great when added to your living room or under cabinets for cozy indirect light.

While the DORESshop night lights are packed with features that are easy to love, they do have a few drawbacks you should consider to decide if they're right for your needs. Most notable is the build quality. These simple lights are made out of plastic. While they'll be fine if placed in an area of your home that doesn't see a ton of traffic, they may not hold up to daily bumps from kids or pets. One flustered reviewer shared, "For the cost, I expected more robust lights made of materials of higher quality and resistance." (via Amazon)

Additionally, while the night light offers a good amount of light wherever you put it, some users noted that they're too bright to be used in a bedroom if you're sensitive to light. Overall, though, the many features (like the adjustable brightness and varied color temperature options), along with the cozy vibe of this night light, make it a good value. And when you remember there are two in a pack, this pint-sized night light is absolutely worth buying.
