You don’t have to be a kid to want to have a replica of the moon sitting in your very own bedroom — the Moon In My Room is a wall-hung nightlight that features a fairly accurate moon face. The problem is that unlike a typical nightlight, the moon goes through phases…but so does the Moon in My Room, which has a series of strips of lights that simulate the various phases of the moon. It comes with a remote control that allows you to change the phase manually, or to set it into automatic mode, which changes phases every few seconds. The moon will light up automatically when the light level in the room gets low (a light sensor prevents it from turning on in bright light so you don’t waste batteries). It also comes with an on/off switch for turning it off entirely.
