propwash17 Posted August 3, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Our past 3-4 cruises have had motion sensor lights that come on at night and are very bright. My husband usually stuffs towels along the crack so they don't bother us at night. I have looked for small night lights that will fit into the electric shaver plug-in, but have never found one. Please let me know if anyone has found something that will work as a small nite-lite. One night I couldn't find the door to get back to bed. Thanks,,,, judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaktreerb Posted August 3, 2023 #2 Share Posted August 3, 2023 The small battery candles work for me in the bathroom at night. When we were on a Seabourn cruise the ship had them in the bathroom, a nice touch. I found a small battery operated clock at Walmart (mfg by Sharp)..It is completely black until you push down on the top and then it lights in blue to show the time. I keep it by the bed and use it like a push button gentle flashlight when I need to find the bathroom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks,,,, judy There are some really easy to use night lights that several people on some threads here ordered from Amazon. They're operated by a tiny battery that keeps its charge for a very long time. You don't replace the battery, it just needs recharging when it loses it's life. We bought some for our house a couple of months ago: they come on each night and morning, and we still haven't had to recharge them. They're motions sensitive, very dependable. Perfect for a cruise. The ones we have are Lyridz Rechargeable Night Light, but others have used some other brands. The plug-in ones are usually much brighter and on all the time, and you need a plug in the right place! These battery ones come with tape and a magnet, but you can use without the tape (or magnet). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DE Solo Posted August 3, 2023 #4 Share Posted August 3, 2023 I just use the small battery powered tea lights as night lights when I cruise. They are small, light, inexpensive, and disposable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliaschief Posted August 3, 2023 #5 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Just Google battery motion sensor night lights. We always have a couple on all trips just not cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobiemom Posted August 3, 2023 #6 Share Posted August 3, 2023 I use motion-sensor nightlights (something like this). I put one in the bathroom, and one near the ground by the door to remind me of the LARGE step into the bathroom. I don’t like keeping the bathroom light on and cracking the door because when I’d go in it would be blindingly bright! 😳 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kluv2cruz Posted August 3, 2023 #7 Share Posted August 3, 2023 I’ve used battery mini lights. Very pretty and I leave them on all night in the bathroom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalspin Posted August 3, 2023 #8 Share Posted August 3, 2023 I bought the three pack @dobiemom shows above. I haven't used them yet, but they seem perfect. In fact, I'm reminded I want to try one at my wine-pouring nook here at home, so I don't have to turn on the dining room light! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted August 3, 2023 #9 Share Posted August 3, 2023 I use a mini-mag flashlight I won on a HAL cruise many years ago. It's about the size of a ball-point pen, turns on/off easily, and isn't so bright it wakes me completely. Take the batteries out when back home, and they last for years.

57redbird Posted August 3, 2023 #10 Share Posted August 3, 2023 The ones I got at the Dollar Store wouldn't fit any of the outlets on the K. I think the candle-looking ones that sit on something probably are the best idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s the candles you are wondering about, you can replace the batteries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lights such as the ones @dobiemomshowed or the ones I mentioned come in packs of three. I'm pretty sure that would be more than enough for a 51 day cruise, if you charge them before going. As I said, we've been using mine for well over a month without charging, all three at the same time. If you use one at a time, you're probably okay for a 5 month cruise! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolythenePam57 Posted August 4, 2023 #15 Share Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) I purchased these to have a bathroom nightlight on the Zaandam. It fit in the shaver outlet on the wall. (Six lights for under $10.00.) Now using several in my hallways at home. I keep one in my suitcase for whenever we travel now.

H2Osign Posted August 6, 2023 #16 Share Posted August 6, 2023 I use a small plug in LED night light I bought from IKEA. Off during the day, on at night. It’s not too bright, when on, and no need for batteries or charge cable. Also, you can position the light to shine up, down, left or right - in other words, not in your eyes. It’s about the size of a golf ball, so not too big either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s about the size of a golf ball, so not too big either. I have what I suspect is the same light from Ikea, called Ljuster ($4). They also have Morkradd, ($9 for two). Both products plug into a standard US outlet, and have light sensors that keep them off when the bathroom light is on, and on when the bathroom light is off. Both draw miniscule amounts of power, so easily used in a shaver outlet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNSJ Posted August 9, 2023 #18 Share Posted August 9, 2023 I found the motion activated night light on Konningsdam to be great. If you are asleep, its off. Was sad to find they did not install them on Rotterdam (Ill let you know about NS when I still her this fall). Shaver outlets are great for a light in any stateroom bathroom.
