When it comes to our little ones, it’s completely natural to have questions - especially about something that’s on every night while they sleep. We hear from so many mums and dads who want to be sure that the Duski light sitting by the cot or on the bedside table is safe, gentle, and doing exactly what it promises to do: help create a calm, peaceful bedtime.
So let’s take a moment to clear up a few of the most common concerns we hear. If you’ve been wondering about any of these, you’re not alone. And we’re so glad you asked.
Common Misconceptions About Duski Night Lights
💡 “Is the light too bright for sleep?”
This is such a fair question. We all know how important it is to keep the sleep environment dark and calming. The good news? Duski lights are designed exactly with that in mind.
Our lights use a soft, warm LED glow that’s intentionally gentle. You can adjust the brightness with just a tap, all the way down to a soft shimmer that’s perfect for overnight use. It’s bright enough for reassurance during night wakes or nappy changes, but never too harsh for sleep. Many parents even find their children settle more quickly when that comforting glow becomes part of their routine.
🔋 “Does it use a button battery? Is it safe?”
We understand this worry completely. Button batteries can be dangerous when accessible to children. That’s why Duski lights do not use loose or exposed button batteries.
Our Duski Dream Night lights are powered via USB cable, the portable Duski Dream Guardians have a sealed rechargeable battery, and the remotes use AAA batteries.
Everything is secured safely within the unit, and all components meet Australian safety standards. You can rest easy knowing your child’s night light has been designed with their wellbeing in mind.
🌙 “Can I leave it on all night?”
Yes, you absolutely can. In fact, many families choose to keep their Duski light glowing gently through the night to help little ones feel safe and settled. The LED technology means the lights stay cool to the touch and use very little energy so there’s no overheating, and no need to worry about safety or running costs.
Whether your child is going through a phase of night wakes or just likes knowing their room isn’t completely dark, a Duski light can be a simple, soothing solution. However, we advise to always use safety precautions when handling ANY electric equipment for yourself or babies.
🧽 “Is it easy to clean and safe to touch?”
Yes to both!
- The acrylic tops of Dream Lights are smooth, sturdy and can be gently wiped clean with a dry or damp cloth.
- The silicon tops of Dream Guardians can be removed and washed. Please ensure they are dry before attaching the base.
The lights are durable enough to sit safely on a shelf or table, and while the glowing design is definitely eye-catching for little ones, we do recommend keeping the base slightly out of reach to protect the cord connection, especially for toddlers.
🧠 “Will it make my child too reliant on a light to sleep?”
This is a really common concern, and we completely understand it. The truth is, children thrive on routine; and familiar, comforting cues like a soft night light can actually support healthy sleep habits.
Using a night light doesn’t mean your child will never sleep without it. Instead, it becomes a gentle part of their bedtime ritual, like a lullaby or a favourite bedtime book. And when they feel safe and secure, they’re more likely to fall asleep peacefully... and stay asleep.
At Duski, everything we create is designed to bring comfort, calm, and a little bit of magic to your bedtime routine. Our lights aren’t just beautiful to look at - they’re built for real life, with safety, simplicity, and sleep in mind.
If you ever have a question or just want to chat about what might work best for your child’s sleep space, we’re always here. You’re not alone on this journey, and we’re so proud to be part of your bedtime routine.
With love and a little moonlight,
