I purchased a Disney light for my daughter(8yo) for Christmas last year and we have been extremely pleased with it. It still works great and she uses it several times a week. After a year of frequent use, the battery is only now starting to wear out, but I am confident that after we replace it, it will be good as new. I highly recommend this light to anyone.

I purchased this light in the Minnie Mouse version for my daughter at a Barnes & Noble after (admittedly) falling victim to the “pester power” factor because (and here is the key thing) the product is very obviously marketed to children (displayed at their eye level and with several Disney character lights surrounding it). My daughter and I love to read books in bed together so I thought it would be fun and practical. However, as soon as I opened it I saw a note on the back that read “THIS IS NOT A TOY, KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.” I was quite upset, after all it is obviously marketed to children and ridiculous that it would not be designed for their use. I should have returned it immediately, but I decided I would let my daughter keep it and just make sure we treated it as a light not as a toy. However, I did let her hold it on the way home. Within three minutes the little figure on the top (which is also the on/off switch) had broken off. I was watching my daughter the entire time and she was holding it and switched it off and on once – nothing that should have damaged it. I can’t comment as to the quality or longevity of the light since we NEVER ACTUALLY GOT TO USE IT. In short: learn from my mistake and don’t fall for this one. The Disney book lights are definitely a waste of money and a disappointment for kids.
