WHAT IT IS

AnimaLamps™ are portable, cool-running LED lights that can be used as a desk lamp, for reading in bed, during playtime, or even for late night diaper changes and feeding sessions. The lamps have a rechargeable battery, and the brightness can be adjusted.

WHAT WE THOUGHT

Our reviewer was very impressed with the AnimaLamp. The rechargeable battery made it perfect for using around the house - from the playroom to the nursery. It was also useful in the car - kids can read a book or do an activity in the back seat even at night.

The adjustable brightness got big accolades from our reviewer. With a simple touch the brightness can be adjusted to suit a variety of activities. The AnimaLamp can be used on the brightest level to read before bed, then dimmed and used as a night light.

Another great feature of the AnimaLamp it that it uses LED lights, which donīt get hot. Little hands wonīt get burned if they accidentally touch the light. Parents also donīt have to worry about cord safety, as the lamp uses a rechargeable battery and doesnīt need to be plugged into the wall to work.

WHY THEYīLL WANT IT

Not only is the AnimaLamp adorable - customers can choose from monkey and giraffe designs - it is also ideal for families with small children. Itīs portability means it can be used in a variety of situations, and parents of even the youngest children donīt need to worry about safety, as the lamp is cordless and uses cool-to-the-touch LED lights. The battery charge lasts 8-12 hours, making it the ideal night light or car light for road trips. Customers will also love how versatile the adjustable brightness control makes the AnimaLamp. And, you can tell them that the AnimalLamp is the winner of Momīs Choice Gold, NAPPA Gold and National Parenting Center Seal of Approval awards.
