nitelite

Nitelite a.k.a. “space lady” is a parent’s dream. The lights go dim and the “moon” comes out for story time, just before bed. A colour-changing mobile hangs in the room. When it’s time for lights out, it’s automatic, and the mobile drops to a dim red.

In the morning, daylight colour silently comes on to signal the arrival of a new day.
