I think it's a really great way of helping kids get over their fear of the dark, and I really love the design too; it's much more modern and pleasing to my eye than a lot of other products aimed at children.
Mine are all grown up and have flown the nest (yes, I'm that old), but this looks excellent. Smart solution - wonder why nobody thought of it before...
