Get your kids a damned night light. For hells sake it is easy as sin to set up a USB strip light with a remote. And cheap too. I even have UV strip lighting in a few places, like my nightstand drawer, to keep the glow in the dark remote cover charged and make it so I don't wake my wife when I get called to work on the middle of the night.
preferrably a red-emitting one.
My nieces and nephews all have bug zappers as night lights, just as a safety measure to ease my siblings' minds, the zappers are inside of plastic bird cages, bugs go in and die, the family cats can't touch them
Actually they sell light bulbs that have big zappers built into them. They work great with can lights. You cycle the light switch to flip between white light, a dim UV but light inside the body of the light, and both. I keep one or two in the kitchen to get rid of fruit flies.
I know, I shopped for them, the ones I saw are made by a flashlight company called "NEBO"
I like flashlights
I've had some great ones, and some terrible ones. The bad ones only lasted for a couple of months. The good ones lasted years. I'll have to check out the NEBO brand.
The monster under the bed had lurked in the shadows for quite some time, knew the game of retreating to the darkness when the bedroom lightswitch was flipped. However, never before had he abruptly been exposed to the close-range effects of a full 58,000 lumens of a Lumintop Tiger in Anduril's tactical strobe mode.
I thoroughly enjoyed that.
