This light adds great light to be able to see at night without waking anybody up. My wife and I have twin girls and sometimes we need to tend to one of them or give one medicine during the night, and this light adds the the right amount of light to see what we're doing without waking up our other girl. The ability to change colors is a neat concept, but we just like the regular white light best. I'd highly recommend if you need to be able to see in the same room where a kid is sleeping that you don't want to disturb.
