"I’ve been using the Sunset Dimmer in my 7 month old daughter’s room for a couple of weeks now. Our pediatrician told us early on how important a regular bedtime routine is when establishing sleep habits with an infant. The 30 minutes of light that the Sunset Dimmer provides is a perfect compliment to that routine. As we change her into pajamas, read a couple of stories, and quietly wind down from the day’s activities, the light in her room is slowly and steadily dimming. It is very subtle, but incredibly calming and relaxing. By the time I lay her down in the crib it is almost completely dark and she usually will drift right off to sleep. And, most of the time, I feel ready to do the same! I love my Sunset Dimmer and am going to suggest it to families that have children with sleep issues"

I have two sunset dimmers: one for each daughter next to their bunk-beds. I use the dim to nightlight setting for one lamp and dim to off for the other. My daughters and I love it. They go to bed with their bedside lights on and eventually one turns off and the other is at a nice, soft setting. Prior to this my daughters always wanted a closet light on all night. This is great for kids.

I have two sunset dimmers in my home. My mother-in-law is 87 years old and has recently moved in. She needs to navigate the house at night, so I put one in the hallway on the dim to night light setting, so she can make her way to the bathroom and back without falling. The other sunset dimmer is used in my mother-in-law's bedroom; she forgets to turn off the light before she goes to bed. The dimmer is set on dim to off setting. This eliminates me getting up at 3:00 AM to turn off the light. I now sleep through the night without waking up to turn off the light. It has also saved me money on my electric bill.

"I saw it, I believe, in Sunset magazine and thought it was a great idea. My daughter loves it – she reads for a while, sometimes falls asleep when it dims other times just resets it for another 20 minutes of reading. She is completely over asking to me to leave the bright light on while she goes to sleep."

"I've had my Sunset Dimmer for a few months now and just love it! I read in bed most every night and fall asleep with my reading light on. The Sunset Dimmer has solved my problem. It slowly dims and them turns off after 30 minutes. I was skeptical when I first ordered one - wondering if it would perform as advertised. It works great and I've now ordered 2 more, one for my myself to take when I travel and one for my son and daughter-in-law. A really great product I would recommend to anyone!"

"I have loved the Sunset Dimmer since I purchased it several months ago. We have three children - two 4 year old twins and a 20 month old baby. My job is to get the baby down every night, but she doesn't always want to settle down because she knows her older siblings are still awake. The Sunset Dimmer is perfect because I can put her in her crib and then she slowly winds down by playing with toys or "reading" her books. She is almost always down for the count by the time the dimmer fades to total darkness. It makes the whole process pleasant and painless."

"I wanted to provide you with some feedback on the Sunset Dimmer. We think it is a brilliant idea, and we love it. Love it. It is the perfect solution for letting our daughter read a bit after bedtime. The gradual dimming is great for her to fall asleep to. It's such an ingenious idea. "

"My husband purchased two of the Sunset Dimmers for use in our bedroom. We enjoy reading in bed but one of us was always falling asleep with our bedside lamp left on. This was very frustrating to wake up in the middle of the night and be unable to sleep due to our partner's light. If I walked over to turn the light off it woke my husband and the cycle started again. The Sunset Dimmer solved that problem. We love the gradual dimming and my husband thinks that slow dimming actually helps him go to sleep. I have recommended the Sunset Dimmer to parents in the parenting classes I teach. Rather than set timers and continually harp on the children to turn off their lights, the lights slowly shut down and off. The Dimmer can also be used as a night light. Another great feature for parents. We srtongly recommend the Sunset Dimmer."

"We couldn't find the perfect night light most were too dim for our daughter who wanted to look at her picture books before falling asleep. We tried to find small lamps but even the 25 watt candle type bulbs were too bright and she would stay up for hours before eventually falling asleep. The sunset dimmer solved our problem. We have the 25 watt small lamp attached and by the time the lamp gets to the dimmest brightness is just a little lighter than the largest nightlight we had ever tried. "

"...It has been a God send and James actually is getting used to sleeping in the dark now!!"

" I read to my 18 month old daughter each night with the sunset dimmer. We stop reading when the light gets low, talk for a few moments, and then I put her to bed. She never is surprised when story time is over and it's time for bed because she knows it's coming. She often goes to bed without complaint. It seems to feel natural to her. I wish I'd had one of these when my older child was little."

"I am a retired teacher and an avid reader who likes to read when I go to bed each night. As I often fall asleep while reading, the light remains on, disturbing my husband later in the night. Your sunset dimmer switch is the perfect solution. I have the switch set to turn off completely. The light stays bright for about 20 minutes, dimming gradually, then turning off, by which time I have usually dozed off. If I want to read longer as the light begins to dim, I simply tap the switch again to return the light to original brightness. This is a great product that perfectly fits my needs. I wish I’d had it when my children were young. I am currently ordering a second one. Many thanks for such a unique and helpful solution!"

"I absolutely LOVE your Sunset Dimmer! It works exactly as described and I wouldn't change a thing. My daughter uses it every night and she falls asleep without any issues with the "scary nighttime". One nice feature would be the ability to make it go dimmer to almost dark, but not quite. We are using a 15W bulb and I suppose we could go down to a 7.5W bulb to make it dimmer, but then the top end may be too dim. It's really not a big deal, as our daughter doesn't seem to mind one bit. Take care and thank you again for the great product!"

"I love the Sunset Dimmer. My daughter loves to keep her bedside light on until she falls asleep. With the Sunset Dimmer I no longer have to remind her to turn her light off. Great idea. Very easy to use."

"We use the dimmer to simulate sunset for our experimental mosquito populations. Some of the species we work with require a gradual dimming as a stimulus for swarming and mating. So, we have it on a timer, with an incandescent bulb hooked up to the dimmer, set to go on when our regular fluorescents go off, to start the sunset period."
Angie - Smithville, MO
"We love our sunset dimmer! It helps our daughter fall asleep, while still giving her time to look at books."

We received the dimmer yesterday and used it for the first time last night. I have twin three year old girls that have had sleep issues since the day they were born. With the dimmer, they were asleep in 30 minutes. You have a great, unique product. Just a matter of time before it catches on.
