For a few years now, we’ve been a big fan of the TykeLight Jr. by Mobi Technologies. I stumbled across the kid-friendly nightlight on Amazon and ordered one. It’s still going strong. Our son has passed it down to our daughter. I just can’t say enough about the TykeLight Jr. I even bragged about it in a recent “Works for Me Wednesday” post on Muses of Megret.
Well, Mobi has come out with a terrific, above-the-rest “sequel” to the TykeLight Jr.. Let me introduce to you the newest “glow buddy” on the block: The TykeLight GloMate!
The GloMate glows in three different colors: Blue, red, or green, but it ALSO cycles through a rainbow of colors at the push of a button.
The GloMate is a winner of the iParenting Media Award. Its silky-smooth exterior and cuddle-perfect size make a perfect nighttime buddy for your little one. It’s suitable and easy to use for ages 2 and up. Our four-year-old has nicknamed him “Mr. Special” and uses him for after-bedtime book browsing and as a fun accompaniment to middle-of-the-night bathroom trips. The color modes are easily switched with the use of an easy-to-find toggle button on the base.
Here is a brief video clip of G demonstrating how to begin the “color changing mode,” complete with color commentaries:

The GloMate, like its predecessor, stays lit for up to 10 hours per charge. (No more nightlight malfunctions when the power goes out!) To recharge, you or your child can simply place it gently back on its base. It’s completely safe with no attached cords once it is off its base. The lights are cool-burning LEDs which mean there’s no risk of heat-based injuries.
You can purchase the TykeLight GloMate directly from Mobi for $24.99. It’s also available from Amazon and several more online retailers
Win it! Thanks to Mobi, I can give away one TykeLight GloMate to one of you! All you need to do is head over to Mobi’s website and look around. Come back here and tell me a feature of the GloMate you especially love OR another one of Mobi’s products that you’d find useful. That’s it! I’ll close the contest next Wednesday, July 8th, 2009 at 11pm EST. Sorry; US entries only. Good luck!

I love that it is portable! Lucas would so love moving it around his room during the night!

I love that it is rechargeable and no batteries are required.

I love this! This would be so much better than a nightlight, because my daughter could have it with her in the bed!
