The Night-Feed Light That Lets the Whole House Sleep
Swap the big overhead light and your phone screen for a dim red glow. A 670nm red lamp gives you just enough light to see your baby through feeds and nappy changes, without switching on the “wide awake” response in either of you. Red is the usual choice for night-time because it feels far calmer than bright white light.

Your baby stirs at 2am and you need to see. So you hit the light switch or grab your phone. Both flood you and your baby with blue-heavy light, and both brains get the same message: it’s morning.
Now you’re wide awake. So is the baby. And the next hour and a half is gone.
Ordinary LED bulbs, even the “warm white” kind, still put out roughly a third of their light as blue wavelengths. A phone in night mode, held close to your face, still sends a strong wake-up signal. Both hold back melatonin, the hormone that keeps you and your baby drowsy.
It’s why parents who’ve been through it call those first months “the newborn trenches.” It isn’t only how often you’re up. It’s the light you switch on every time you’re up that wrecks the rest of the night.
What Changes When the Light Is Red
Deep red light at 670nm doesn’t set off the melanopsin receptors in your eyes. Melatonin keeps flowing. You can see the baby, change the nappy, make up the bottle and feed, all without tipping your body into “alert” mode.
The feed still happens. The nappy still gets changed. But how long it takes everyone to drift off again gets much shorter.
With the overhead light or a phone
- Bright light wakes the baby fully
- You end up alert and wired
- Melatonin held back for 60–90 min
- Baby fusses and won’t settle
- You scroll while you wait
- Everyone awake for an hour or more
With a 670nm red lamp
- Just enough light to see and do it
- Baby stays drowsy
- The room feels softer and calmer
- Change, feed, back down
- No phone needed
- Partner and siblings sleep on
- Lots of parents find settling again easier
How Parents Use It
On the changing table
Turned right down. Stands flat and steady. Enough light for the nappy, the wipes and your baby’s face.
For feeds
On the bedside table or next to the nursing chair. Pick the brightness that works without lighting up the whole room.
From room to room
200g, lighter than your phone. An 8+ hour battery, so nothing needs plugging in at night.
With the timer
Nod off mid-feed? Set the 30-minute timer and it switches itself off.
“Couldn’t I just use a normal lamp turned down low?”
Even dimmed, a warm white LED still gives off blue and green wavelengths that hold back melatonin. A 670nm LED gives off deep red only, well away from the wavelengths that tell your body to wake up.
“Brilliant for the newborn weeks. It gives off just enough light, without the harsh glare you get from the ceiling light.”
“Got it for my 8-month-old’s room while we were shifting his bedtime. When he wakes in the night I can actually see what I’m doing.”
“Exactly what you want for night feeds. Got all of us through those first few weeks.”
“With a newborn you’re up again and again every night. This is the light you want for those 2am feeds and changes.”
30-Night Sleep Promise
Use it every evening for 30 nights. If you don’t notice a difference, you get every penny back. No questions.
