If you would like to start a new hobby, collecting decorative night lights can be a very good choice.

You might have already come across the choice for a decorative night light when preparing the nursery for your babies. Such a task is a really enjoyable experience for a mother-to-be and everything must be decided carefully.

Light is very important in a baby room and night light is essential not only to prevent night fears but also to nurse or to check the baby without turning the main light on. As every other nursery item, nursery night lights are generally colored with very delicate hues and can have various features. Typically they have spinning lights, or changing colors and play soothing lullabies or sounds of nature (wind, rain, forest or also seagull sounds) to encourage sleep.

It is also possible to find CD players with built in night lights to play your choice of music or nursery night lights which project stars and other images on walls or on the ceiling.

Children rooms usually have darker colors, so have nights lights with their favourite cartoon or movie characters. Boys will love decorative night lights themed Cars, Pirates of the Caribbean, Batman, Spiderman, Sponge Bob and Scooby Doo.

Girls will be fascinated by pink-purple night lights with Disney Princesses, Tinkerbell, angels and fairies and also new characters as Cheetah Girls or from High School Musical movie. Mickey Mouse with Minnie and Winnie the Pooh or a bubble night light are an unisex choice.

Obviously there are many other rooms that might need a night light and a decorative night light can surely add glamor to your home because some of them are really delicate and precious.

If you are a stained glass enthusiast, you will find a huge variety of night lights: both Tiffany style which is the most common choice, or a more modern type. We should not also forget one-of-a-kind, unique stained glass night lights which indeed are the best choice for the most exigent collectors.

Fine porcelain and china night lights are really exquisite and come in a great variety, being a great choice for decorative night light collectors and for china collectors. The favorites are those shaped as cups or as teapots (you should check those by Royal Albert), or as angel and lady figurines.

The primitive look is much appreciated and therefore collectors of rustic and colonial folk art will surely appreciate a lot decorative night lights like those made by punched copper or other metals. Another kind of decorative night light which have many followers is that made with glass or crystal and obviously we should not forget vintage or antique night lights.

If you are a practical person, you might appreciate a lot those night lights with additional features like air freshener night lights, alarm night lights which have a motion sensor which turn on the light and even a sound alarm being therefore extremely useful when used outdoor against intruders, night lights with light sensors which automatically turn on at dark or even with a clip to be used with a book of with a USB plug to connect them to your notebook. But I believe that one of the most useful is the night light with an ultrasonic pest control, to get rid of insect bites.
