The AstroStar is ideal for astronomy or astrology fans, romantics, kids who’d appreciate a nightlight with a difference or anyone who wants to bring some starlight into their home.

ThinkGeek has just announced a plasma night light for those of you who wants to light up the room with sparkling electrons rather than a webslinger.

We all know that the monsters under your bed and in your closet are only afraid of light – it’s a documented fact! The challenge becomes, how to generate enough light to scare away the monsters, and yet still let you sleep through the night. This plasma bulb nightlight does just that, filling your room with the soothing purple-glow of electrons cascading back down to the ground state.

The Plasma Bulb Night Light ($9.99) fits into your 110v US power outlet.

This “magic” globe has more to show than what first meets the eye. When it gets dark, a light sensor transforms the globe from a map of the world to a beautiful brightly illuminated map of the night sky.

It shows 88 constellations all with their common names (far easier to remember), so not only is it fascinating and educational, it also makes a great nightlight.

Features:

• This is two globes in one.
• By day it reveals the world’s capitals, cities, political boundaries and natural features at a scale of 1:60,000,000.
• By night it reveals 88 constellations with their common names.
• A light sensor.
• Requires a mains adaptor (UK adaptor included).
• Size: 33 x 19 x 19cm.

The Glowing Globe costs £49.99 (about $104 USD) at I Want One Of Those.

When we saw the Orla Kiely radio, who would have thought it would only take another month until the next hand-crank powered radio with a built-in flashlight should show up?

The battery-free and eco-friendly Fun Radio-Nightlight ($30) comes with AM/FM radio, flashlight, and a light cap to create a soft bright nightlight.

1 minute of cranking will give you 20 minutes of radio or 40 minutes of light.

Available in three colors: Fresh Orange, Lime Green, and Pure White.
