Nightlight in bathroon outlet?

[mspink98]

I know that we can't plug anything substantial into the outlet meant for a shaver in the bathroom, but has anyone ever plugged in a nightlight? We've had one plugged in by the vanity in the past, but it might be more useful in the bathroom.

We burnt out one in that outlet, so now we have a little battery operated one that we got in the camping section at Sports authority. It is a very small and we just put it on the shelves in the bathroom.

That little plug is only on when the light is on--sort of defeating the purpose!

Great place for a flamless candle.

[Crosboro]

Yep, I use one of those plug-ins with the green glow screen. Worked like a charm. The outlet was live when the main light was off.

So far, have only left one behind:p

I'd rather have it in the cabin proper. There were few times that I crashed into that darn brass club table. My interim solution was to have the bathroom light on and the door cracked.

[Jiffymom]

How about just have a small flash light on your bedside table.

Hey - nice avatar!

I always travel with a nightlight for the bathroom and have used it successfully on land and sea.

We each have a small penlight that we keep on the bedstand. They are great for preventing stub toes when making a nighttime visit to the facility. We prefer them over nightlights as they are mobile.

On the Liberty, when the light was off, the night light went off. Take a small flashlight.

[Janice M]

We too keep the bathroom light on and the door ajar.

ditto here too. On cruise ships, hotels, etc. Easy to just keep the bathroom light on, and the door slightly ajar.

 

Cheers! :)

Hey - nice avatar!

 

Great minds think alike!

[JanineM]

I'm now leaving the curtains slightly ajar. That normally gives us just a bit of light to get to and from the loo ... but also wakes me up in the morning so I don't waste the whole day sleeping!!!

We left on the bathroom light but closed the door - there was still enough light coming from around the door to see your way there and back.

I like that idea! I've left the bathroom light on and closed the door in the past, only to be blinded when I open the door, and almost have to crawl back to bed to avoid death by tripping.

 

I knew you guys would come through for me. Thanks! :D

We always use the bathroom light on/door closed method. Works like a charm. Small flashlights are also a must. My husband sleeps late and I get up early. I use the flashlight to find clothes to put on.

Brookstone sells a great travel alarm clock that is about the size of a deck of cards. When you left it up, the bottom is a flashlight to help you find the bathroom in the night when you're in unfamiliar surroundings. I think this is brilliant.

The light coming through the bottom of the door from the hall is usually enough for me to find the mens room.

[maritar]

Land or sea, I always have a nightlight (with extra bulb) and a small flash light (with extra batteries) with us. On the cruise we like nightlight plugged in by the vanity. After coming back home and unpacking everything else I leave nightlight and flash light to my carry-on pack for the next trip.

[Morecruisesplz]

Our travel night light (which can double as a reading light if needed) has a part you lift up then it only comes on when there is movement in the room. Perfect for cabin bathrooms.

 

If anyone wants the name off of it, let me know.

 

Previously we tried the light on in the bathroom and the door partly open but when seas were rough in the middle of the night it would swing open and light up the room -- not so good for sleeping!

I've had success with leaving the light on but the door closed.

 

There has been just enough light coming from the bottom of the door to get me to the bathroom without tripping over something. Then when I get there, I turn off the light before opening the door. On the past ships that I've been on, the fluorescent light bulbs retain enough of a glow for a few seconds to allow me to get in there and find what I need to find.

 

Then when I'm done, I go back out, close the door and turn the light back on.

 

I've tried leaving the door open just a little, but yes as noted, a little ship movement leaves the door banging shut, which certainly wakes you up!

When we've had inside cabins we just leave the light on in the bathroom with the door slightly ajar. We've never had a problem with the door banging and keeping us awake. We normally book promenade cabins. You can leave the curtains slightly apart giving a small amount of light in your room. It's enough that you can get around.

My partner is incredibly sensitive to light when he sleeps. I am sensitive to his swearing as he rams into the furniture in the night. :o
