Lots and lots of fun, so sez my little girls. They sleep with them, take them in "forts" and "tents", carry them into the van - flashlights go everywhere with my girls. Flashlights+ my kids = HUGE success. I can't tell you the number of times the power has gone out and I've tried to use one of MY flashlights, only to find the batteries dead. So, yeah, they are big fans.
We were asked if we'd review the Sylvania PalPODzzzz Portable Nightlight. The box arrived, and my girls tore into it. "Oh, cute!" cried one. And off they ran, to plug it in and see for themselves how wonderful it is. There was no set up involved at all - just plug it in and you're good to go.
It is indeed a wonderful combination flashlight/nightlight. We received the ladybug for review, and there is another version, a rocket ship. The ladybug is a compact, palm sized creature, doubling as a flashlight. When she's placed on the green leaf, it recharges. Which, to my delight, meant NO BATTERIES. Which means it will ALWAYS WORK. The leaf does double duty as both a charger and a nightlight, dimming as the room gets brighter and reversing the process at night.
It's not too bright- my girls don't like a lot of light at night - but, as we discovered this week, it's the PERFECT amount of light to change your clothes in the middle of the night to surprise (!) Mommy. Every morning, we hunt for the ladybug, pop her on the charger - in fact, it's someone's chore to do so - and every night, she's right there, waiting for them. Brilliant.
We highly recommend the Sylvania PalPPODzzz portable LED nightlight for the price of $19.99!

It's not just your girls. There are entire internet message boards and websites populated by people who LOVE flashlights. Big ones, little ones, incandescent, LED, combo lights, modified lights, etc. You name it, they have it or will soon or make a frankenlight that does it. Candlepowerforums.com is one of them, but there are others.
