Editorial Reviews

From the Manufacturer
The TykeLight GloMate features a new, easy to clean surface that is soft to the touch, durable and impact resistant. The all white BPA and lead free GloMate, once illuminated, can turn a constant blue, green, red, or rainbow mode which will cycle between all colors (press the black button at the bottom to change colors). The built in NiMH rechargeable batteries and low-voltage charging base helps the GloMate provide up to 10 hours of constant light when fully charged. The hassle free GloMate turns on automatically when removed from the base, and the LED lights do not give off heat, so it's cool to the touch." The "Gentle Sleep" mode when activated automatically dims and shuts off the light after 15 minutes.

Great idea, but a few problems3
The good: My kids love their new 'light guys' and we no longer have to leave their room lights on all night. Its easy to take along for travel, and I plan to use them on car trips as well, since my daughter does not like being in the car in the dark.

The bad: I ordered 2 lights originally. One of them was defective - the black case on the AC adapter was broken so that it could open easily, exposing the wires inside. I got a replacement and that one had the same problem! The next replacement was fine, however.

The base charger is nice, but its hard to tell if the light is actually charging or not since slightly shifting the nightlight while it is on the base can change the indicator light from red (not charged) to green (charged).

You can only use the 15 minute timer with the blue light. It would be nice to be able to turn on the timer independently of the light color.

Leaving it on blue, the battery easily lasts 12 hours or more. However, the red or changing color modes seem to only last a few hours at the most. So we end up using blue all the time rather than enjoying the other colors.

Love the product, charging could use some work. (comparing to JR version too)4
I love this product. I have a one and half year old and a two and a half year old. I first found the mobi tykelight jr at walmart. I was looking to get a second one when my kids starting fighting over the first one I bought. That's when I discovered this one.

It is slightly smaller than the JR and has several different color settings and recharges.

I was so excited about the extra features I decided to get this one instead of another JR. Well surprise, surprise the kids then fought over the new one. So I bought two more.

One of the additional ones would only turn on to red from the first time we got it out of the box and when it lost it's charge it wouldn't turn on or charge. I have to return that one but 2 out of 3 are working fine.

I would give this five stars if it wasn't for the charging problems. Like other reviews have stated, it holds a charge most of the night but definitely needs to be charged everyday. That wouldn't be so bad, but the green light indicating it's charging and the red light indicating it's charged aren't always accurate(I might have switched up what color means what I can't remember right this moment). There is no way to tell for sure if you have it on the base correctly and the slightest bump can stop it from charging.

I love the nightlight no matter what but I honestly would rather replace the batteries in the jr every 3 days instead of trying to charge the light everyday and not being sure if it is really charging or not. If it just had a way to lock on the charger so you could know it wasn't moving and would always be charging when locked on... that would be perfect.

This is great for any child who tends to pull traditional nightlights out of the wall, a room with bad outlet placing for a plug in nightlight, any young child having trouble with sleeping in the dark and likes to have something to cuddle.

Oh and the JR has a harder plastic outside covering whereas this one almost feels like a semi rubbery outside.

MOBI GETS AN A+5
I have purchased the TykeLights in the past for my kids. MOBI has done a great job with their newest one the GloMate. We just got 3 of them and my kids wont put them down. Even during the day. They have solid colors or a rainbow mode that goes through all of the colors. My kids put them on the charger base and take them off when they want to play with them. No touching power cords. I feel totally safe with these. I highly reccomend these. They are too cute.
