Would this light work for middle of the night breastfeeding? I want to be able to see without waking the baby.

It would as long as it worked. Unfortunately mine made a popping sound and quit.

Its a great light; I think the softness of the light would be good for what you are looking to do.

I would have used it for that. It's not a super bright light, just enough to see by. When I use it on the porch, it throws enough light to read by up close to it. I love mine.

It might be, however I'd get it with a black/dark lamp shade to try and make the light as dim as possible. In my opinion still gives off just a *little* too much light to be a nightlight, but not enough to be a practical lamp (other than for bedside lamp for reading)

I use it beside my sewing machine and it allows me to sew at night, so it's bright enoughh for that. It's a different kind of bulb and the light is concentrated where you need it.

No it does not. It is a rather faint light. If it is pitch black in the room then it will be more noticeable. I have a 1 year old and he sleeps fine with it on. Babies can sleep through a construction light being in the room :-)

I think it will wake up your husband. But if he is a heavy sleeper and has little problem sleeping in bright light then it could be okay. Try a test and turn a regular lamp on in the morning and if it doesn't wake him in 15 to 25 minutes then you should be okay. They say the light should be between 18" and 40" of your head for best effect. I'm taking those numbers off the top if my head since I don't have instructions with me. If he will be farther away it has less effect.

No I do not think this light would work well for that. It is bright but only for a small circle area under its top. The light doesn't project well. I think you would be straining your eyes.

I think it depends on how much light you require. I use it in my bedroom and it is definitely not enough light to do my make up in the morning, I need a secondary light, but it is enough to read and watch TV in the evening.

There are two sources of light. The nightlight can be turned off but the power light on the top cannot. It actually is quite bright and I found it annoying. I have resorted to putting a wash clother over the controls at night. The wash clothe is small enough that it does not restrict the air flow but if the rotating feature is on, I suppose it could knock it off. I suppose a loose piece of masking tape might work. Have not had to try that as don't use the rotating feature.

It has to be pretty dim for it to come on. I think it would not work unless you left the room light off.

It might help a little bit but doesn't stretch out all that big. I also find that the suction cups pop off of the window occasionally... May not be ideal for waking a sleeping baby:)

It is quite bright but we like it that way. Difficult to say if it would keep a baby awake. If the baby requires semi-darkness, I'm afraid this light would be too bright, especially in a small nursery.

I wouldn't think so. While it's a bright light, it's not "focused" so it's kind of diffused. I can see using a dimmer though if you want a night light effect. Really a neat light.

Hi, I set it about arms length away from me on my desk each morning and turn it so I can just see the light in my peripheral vision. Ever so often I will look right at the light but not enough to hurt my eyes. It's adjustable so you can adjust how much light you can stand to look at. I don't have mine set at full 100% because it can be blinding. I usually have it on for an hour sometimes I'll forget about it until it's been an hour and a half and just turn it off then. I use it every morning and I've been able to turn my self around from sleeping all day to sleeping at night which was my purpose for getting it. It was recommended to me by the Sleep Center of America in Denver.

I can confirm that its not good with low light even though the specifications states up to 1 lux. I have a rather bright night light in the baby's room and the camera feedback is black.

It does give out a tiny bit of light but I've never slept in a room with in on all night. I would imagine it would not be enough to disturb even the lightest sleeper. You could alway point the light towards the wall to not have to see it at all.

Absolutely! My daughter has used the Orbeez - Mood Lamp as a nightlight every night now for almost a year and we've had no problems whatsoever. Really just the perfect amount of light to check on her when she is sleeping.

I think it would be perfect for such a use. They throw a fair amount of light at a short distance, so reading should be fine. I don't agree with the other users who said it's very low light. It would be way too bright as a night-light (IMO). It's not going to light up a room, but a kid doesn't need a lot of light for bedtime reading.
