We’ve had our fair share of night lights since LP was born. The most recent being the Gro Egg that we reviewed last year – A great room thermometer that gives a warm glow at the same time. We’ve also had a few baby monitors which have night lights built in. The one thing we have never tried is a dedicated nightlight other than plug in ones – All of which we have found to be either too bright, not bright enough or in the wrong area of a room to be of any use.
The Gro Company recently sent me their Gro Light and I was slightly sceptical. A night light that plugs into a light fitting? Something connected to my electrics?! In my baby’s room!? But I put these niggles aside to try the Gro Light out and I’m glad that I did.

What is the Gro Company Gro Light?
The Grobag night light clicks into the ceiling bayonet light fitting – or any lamp with a bayonet fitting, like a bedside lamp – and the light bulb is clicked in afterwards. The Gro Light has a dial on it to adjust the brightness – a great feature – and works using your normal light switch twice. When the light is off you click the light switch to turn the Gro Light on, another switch turns it off again and a further switch turns the main light on. The Gro Lamp is incredibly easy to operate and the only slight downside being that it isn’t compatible with dimmer switches – although the Gro Light is cheaper to run than leaving your dimmer switch on low.
When would you use a Gro Company Gro Light?
There are so many times now, when the children were toddlers, and when the children were newborn and I was a new mum, where a night light was a necessity – middle of the night nappy changes in the nursery, that early days of breastfeeding where you have to see what you’re doing to get the baby latched on, midnight outfit changes where nappies have leaked and those frequent times where you wake and just want to check they’re ok. The Gro Lite acts as a baby room night lamp and gives you a brightness of light that you’re comfortable with and a soft glow that washes over the whole room, not just in one area. The Gro night light also very quick to click on and off and if you need the full, normal light on you can switch between the two lights instantly.

What’s our verdict of the Gro Company Gro Light?
We’ve loved using the Gro Light bayonet night light and have found it makes night wakings with Little Man a lot easier – I can immediately see where he is in the cot, find my way to the rocking chair easily to feed him. I’d recently been resorting to doing everything in the dark – even hunting around the cot for him! The Gro Light has been a welcome addition to the baby room and has made LM’s night feeds so much easier – Having the glow of the light makes it a lot easier to stay awake! It’s definitely a great product when it comes to baby sleep or toddler sleep and I’m now recommending it as a pregnancy essential that will last from birth onwards and help the whole family. It’s one of our favourite baby products along with the Gro Clock and Gro Egg!
The Gro Light has an RRP of £19.99

This is very clever – we have one for review too and I am looking forward to trying it out tonight! Thanks for linking up with #TriedTested

This is a really clever idea, and one that I think you could continue to use long after the baby days are done. #TriedTested

This sounds so clever and useful! Perfect for early days but can imagine it lasting long after this 🙂 x
Colette says
What a stroke of genius!
My only issue would be not necessarily being able to reach it?!
Thanks for linking up this week 🙂

This is what we need at the moment..Freddie has developed a sudden and hellish fear of the dark and wants a light on all night, but he can’t sleep with the dimmest bulb in as he has always slept in the pitch black, door closed and and night light lamp isn’t enough for him. The two light switch thing is great.. Is this my solution!! X
