All of our lights come with the standard 4w incandescent night light bulb.  You have the option to upgrade to a soft white LED bulb.  The advantages of the LED bulb are the following:

• No heat.  Unlike incandescent bulbs, the LED bulbs do not get warm.
• Long life.  The LED bulbs are rated to last 100,000 hours.
• Energy efficient.  LED’s use very little electricity and are the prefect option if you prefer to leave your light on 24/7.
• Brighter light.  The LED bulb will be slightly brighter than the 4w bulb.

The NLD Loyalty Program is based on a Leveling System. That means that once you earn points, you keep them. They never go away. As you earn more points, you can move up to different levels of membership. Just register with Night Light Designs, and you’re automatically enrolled in the program. We currently have five levels of Membership. Each level has an increased “permanent” discount. So the higher you go, the higher your discount. Plus, you get that discount forever. Please note that you can only use one coupon at a time, so if you have a discount coupon, you’ll have to choose which discount to use. Discounts are also not available for sale items. The Membership levels and discounts are as follows:

Member
Bronze Member        5% Discount
Silver Member           10% Discount
Gold Member            15% Discount
Platinum Member   20% Discount

There are many ways to earn points, including Sponsorship. Once you sponsor a friend, you will receive points for each order they place. You can also earn points by leaving reviews, sharing our site, etc. Please let us know if you ever have any questions about this program.

When selecting Expedited Shipping, we are normally able to ship your order within 24 hours.  The exception to that is if your order is placed over or very near a weekend, or if you place a custom order.  When processing custom orders, there is much more work involved in getting the image to look its best.  As a result, they take more time than a normal predesigned image would.  You can normally expect up to three days to ship, but they will still receive priority handling.

There are times when you see an item that you like, but it may not be the right season or even as simple as you’re not ready to buy yet.  Placing your item in the Wish List allows you to save them so that next time you log in, they’re there.  No more re-searching for the same items over and over again.  To add the item to the Wish List, simply add it to your Shopping Cart.  Once in the cart, you can move it from the Cart to the Wish List just by clicking the Move to Wish List button.  The item will move to the Wish List which is located directly below the items in your Shopping Cart.  When you’re ready to purchase, simply click the Move to Shopping Cart button.  It’s that easy. Please note, you must be logged into your account in order to save any images to your Wish List.

Maybe not.  There are many variables that go into what exactly the night light image will eventually look like.  An example of this would be the bulb type.  An LED bulb will looks slightly different than an incandescent bulb.  Also the image on the web page has a different resolution than a printed image.  Other variables are computer monitors, film and and ink lots, etc.  Rest assured that we do our very best to match as closely as possible the image on the web page.

From time to time, we turn off the Expedited Shipping option if we feel that we cannot meet the expected time frames for this shipping option.  This does not mean that shipment of your order will be delayed, but that it will ship in the normal expected shipment time.

Yes, all night lights have an adjustable plug that can be rotated to accommodate outlets in any direction.  The plugs rotate 360 degrees so outlet direction will not be a problem.

There is no requirement to set up an account, but there are several reasons to consider it.  In order to activate your Wish List (items saved for later), we need to be able to reference each customer.  By creating an account, we’re able to do that.  Once you create your account, you will also be an active member in our NLD Loyalty Program which allows you to earn permanent discounts. We also give you the option to see your current order status or your past orders by viewing your Order History (located in My Account). You’ll also get the added benefit of having many of the fields pre-filled when placing an order or when contacting us.

As mentioned on the website, you’ll receive a gift card code. This code can be used during checkout like you would a normal coupon code.  Also, you don’t have to use the card balance all at once.  Any remaining balances will be applied to your next order.

When searching Pre-Designed images on our site, it’s best to use as few words as necessary.  Remember, each word you type will be searched, and if there’s a match to any single word, the image will appear in your search results.  Limit your search to only words that are absolutely necessary and you’ll get better results.

There are no problems associated with the simple resizing of a photo. However, there is an issue if your image does not resize to either 3 x 3.75 or 3.75 x 3, since it would not properly fit into the night light frame. If that occurs, we would either have to crop the image (remove a small portion of the sides or the top and bottom of the picture), or frame the image (similar to viewing a widescreen movie on a full screen TV). We recommend cropping in most situations and will do our best to remove as little of the picture as possible.

Some customers have asked if it’s acceptable to plug the light in sideways to accommodate inserts in both directions.  No, this is definitely not something you should do.  The heat vent of the white backing should ALWAYS be facing up.  No exceptions.  You may purchase “backings” which is the part that is different between a vertical and horizontal light.  By purchasing this part, you’ll be able to put a horizontal picture in a vertical light (or vice versa).  You can find the backings in the Other Products section of our website.  The video describing the process of switching out the backings is HERE.

We recommend you replace the burnt out bulb with either a 4w incandescent night light bulb, or one of our C7 LED night light bulbs.  Both of these bulbs are available from our website.  When using an incandescent bulb, use only “night light” bulbs and never use more than a 7w bulb. Never, ever use Christmas tree bulbs or any other bulbs just because they “look” like a night light bulb.  Use ONLY “night light” bulbs.

Please note that our 6 LED soft white night light bulbs are slightly larger than the bulb opening at the bottom of the white frame backing.  Because of this, when installing or replacing the LED bulb, please install it from the front of the light by removing the black frame assembly.  Do not attempt to force the bulb through the lower frame opening.  To see a video on installing an LED bulb, click HERE.

This is a common question.  To help show you the best way to replace the inserts, we’ve put together a video that shows what we feel is the easiest method for doing that.  Please click HERE to see the video.

We’ve tested many types of markers for our kits. We’ve found that many work quite well, although some lower quality markers have a tendency to be not as vibrant or dense as others. We offer a 10 and 20-packs of Crayola® markers which work well on both visibility and fade resistance. The set of 10 markers work best for 1-2 people, while the set of 20 markers work better for larger groups.

We monitor our order queue closely and start working on many orders the same day they are received. You can expect your lights to be shipped normally within a few days of placing the order. You can always check the status or your order in your Order History.  Larger orders of multiple lights can take additional time to fill. Those time estimates will be discussed at the time the order is placed.

Yes. Some customers like to place special text in their custom photo’s. It can be anything from a date, a name, or even a special message or comment. We will do our best to accommodate your request. Plus, there is no extra charge for requesting text be added to your custom picture. To add text, just let us know in the Special Instructions section of the Payment Information page when placing your order. Please let us know if you have a preference on either font, font size or text location.

No, there are absolutely no hidden fees or miscellaneous charges when placing your order. If you send us a print that requires scanning, we do that free of charge. There are never any scanning or set-up charges except for rare instances where the original photograph is too large for us to properly scan. If that happens, we will quote you a one-time scanning fee. Please note that special scanning fees are not refundable and not covered under our guarantee.

Please be aware of the following:

• Replace ONLY with an LED bulb or a 4w “NIGHT LIGHT” bulb.  DO NOT use Christmas tree bulbs or ANY OTHER BULB that is not specifically a “NIGHT LIGHT” bulb.
• NEVER operate the light in any direction other than in the up position.  DO NOT operate the light sideways in the outlet.  The heat vent must always remain in the upright position, not on the side.
• Unplug the night light any time you make any base adjustments, picture changes or light bulb replacements.
• The night light should only be operated by or under the strict supervision of adults.
• Install the night light in a location that is out of a child’s reach.
• Night lights are not toys, and should not be treated as such. Please treat in the same manner as you would any other electrical appliance.
• Do not operate the night light near any water or water source.
• If plug rotation becomes loose, slightly tighten the base by giving a half turn to the screw located between to the prongs. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

Please be aware that these are not the only safety precautions that you should follow when operating this light. If you have any questions regarding the handling or operation of your night light, please contact us and we’ll be glad to answer any question or concern you may have.
