This handheld fan with a nightlight combines cooling and illumination – a hands-on recommendation from moms and campers
As a mother of two, I've long struggled with the "double demands" of nighttime feedings: It's hot when feeding my baby at night, but I have to fumble for a desk lamp in the dark, fearing the bright light might wake him. When camping, I need a fan to keep cool while also carrying a flashlight to find things. Even when getting up in the middle of the night, turning on the bright light might wake the family, but keeping it on doesn't mean I'll bump into furniture. Then I came across this handheld fan, which perfectly combines a fan and a nightlight. It eliminates the need to lug a bunch of gear around. At 180g, it's comfortable to hold in one hand for extended periods, has enough battery life to last all night, and can even switch to desktop mode. If you're also tired of the "heat and darkness" at night, this real-life experience will explain why it's become my 2024 must-have.
Night Light + Fan Two-in-One: Pack one less piece of gear when going out at night, and your backpack will be half as light.
The most revolutionary feature is its "non-independent" design, completely eliminating the awkward situation of "a fan taking up space in your hand and a light in your pocket":
Nighttime cooling + lighting: When changing your baby's diaper, turn on the soft night light to illuminate the changing table while the fan blows away the heat, eliminating the need to hold a light in one hand and fan with the other.
Reduce equipment burden: Camping with this device saves half the space compared to carrying a mini fan and a flashlight, fitting neatly in the side pocket of your backpack, eliminating the need to dig around for equipment.
Emergency rescue: Last time, during a power outage at home, the night light mode lasted until the power came back on, and the fan still kept the whole family cool. It's safer and more practical than candles.
In my experience, when I take my baby out at night, I used to pack my bag with a fan, night light, and power bank. Now, I only carry this and my phone, freeing up a lot of space.
2. 3 Night Light Modes: From "Baby Sleep" to "Outdoor SOS," fully adaptable
The night light isn't just bright; it understands the "light needs" of different scenarios, something ordinary night lights can't match:
Soft Light Mode (200 lux): Turn on for nighttime feedings. The light is as soft as moonlight, illuminating the bottle markings without blinding your baby. Dim it down after use to prevent your baby from waking.
High Light Mode (500 lux): When camping, find snacks or skincare products in your tent. The bright light illuminates every corner, lasts longer than a phone flash, and doesn't get hot.
SOS Flashing Mode: If you get separated from your group while hiking, turn on SOS mode so your distant companions can see you quickly. It's much easier and safer than shouting.
Long-press the night light button to switch modes, ensuring you can operate blindly and quickly find the brightness you want even in the middle of the night.
3. 4 Speed Levels: From "Bedroom Breeze" to "Outdoor Strong Wind" for Precise Cooling
The fan has a limited range of speeds, but they're sufficient, precisely covering everything from quiet rest to high-temperature cooling, while also being silent:
Level 1: Gentle Breeze (≈32dB): Use it when sleeping in the bedroom. The breeze is as gentle as fluttering curtains, without ruffling the quilt. It's quieter than an alarm clock, so your family won't even notice.
Level 2: Comfortable Wind: Use it when hanging clothes on the balcony at night. Set it to Level 2 to remove moisture and dry them quickly. The wind is just gentle enough to keep you cool.
Level 3: Use it for an evening barbecue while camping. Set it to Level 3 to remove the heat and fumes, making it even cooler than sitting in the shade.
Level 4: Hurricane Mode: Use it for outdoor walks on summer nights above 35°C. Set it to Level 4 to quickly dissipate body heat, drying sweat from your T-shirt in just 10 minutes. Short-press the power button to switch between settings. Even when elderly parents come to help with babysitting, they'll learn how to use it after just one instruction, no need for repeated explanations.
4. 2000mAh Battery Life: Fan and night light on simultaneously, last all night long
The 2000mAh battery's longevity fully meets frequent nighttime use, eliminating the need to constantly search for a charging port:
Nighttime babysitting scenario (1-speed fan + soft night light): From 10 PM to 6 AM, the battery still had 25% charge, even after changing my baby's diaper three times.
Overnight camping scenario (2-speed fan + 1-hour high-intensity night light): From 6 PM to 2 AM, the fan never stopped, the night light was used three times, and the remaining battery was enough for another hour of use the next morning.
Fast Charging Advantage: The USB-C port allows for a full charge in 3.5 hours using a mobile phone charger. Plug it in by your bed before work, and it's fully charged when you get home. No more worrying about "the fan running out of power" or "the night light suddenly going out" in the middle of the night. This is the reassurance a nighttime device should provide.
5. Lightweight 180g: Hold it one-handed for extended periods without fatigue, so portable you'll forget it's in your hand.
At 180g, it's lighter than a 150ml can of hand cream, making nighttime handholding a real pleasure:
Nighttime Handheld: Hold it one-handed for 20 minutes while feeding your baby without any arm strain. It's much easier than the 220g fan I used before, and leaves no marks on my wrist.
Neck-Wrap Compatible: With the included silicone lanyard, wear it around your neck for nighttime walks, allowing the air to flow directly to your chest without having to lift it, freeing you to hold your child.
Easy Storage: Folded to a mere 6.25.814.5cm, it easily fits in a pajama pocket or nightstand drawer, making it easily accessible whenever you need it at night. For mothers or those with weak hands, "lightness" isn't just a virtue; it's a prerequisite for easy midnight use.
6. Desktop + Handheld Dual Use: No need to constantly hold the fan at night, effortless and flexible.
Two modes of use make nighttime use even more convenient, eliminating the need to constantly hold it in one hand, making it especially suitable for busy situations:
Handheld Mode: While burping your baby, hold the fan with one hand and blow it towards their back to prevent them from sweating and catching a cold, without tiring your hand.
Desktop Mode: When working on a project at your desk at night, unfold the bottom bracket and position the fan securely on the desktop, aiming it at the keyboard for smooth fingertips while typing. The night light also illuminates the laptop next to the screen.
Last time I was working late at night, I placed the fan on my desk and used it to cool down while taking notes. No need to turn on the bright lights to disturb my family, which greatly improved my efficiency.
7. Safety Design: Anti-pinch and anti-scald, safe for families with children
As a mother, safety is my top priority when choosing a product, and this fan meets every requirement:
Ultra-Dense Protective Mesh: The fan head grille has gaps less than 0.8mm, preventing babies from pinching their fingers even when they're curious. It can be cleaned with a cotton swab, no need for cleaning.
Night Light Anti-Scald: Even with soft and bright light modes turned on for an hour, the night light panel remains only slightly warm, preventing babies from accidentally touching it. It's safer than traditional night lights.
Non-Slip Handle: Even when your hands sweat at night, the curved handle remains slippery, ensuring you don't drop it when holding it to blow air for your baby. It's much safer.
After using it for two months, my baby occasionally reaches out to touch the fan, but I'm not worried at all. This is what home appliances should be like.
8. Why is this a worthy replacement for your "regular fan + night light"?
After comparing five handheld fans and three night lights, this one's advantages are clear:
It has a night light function compared to regular handheld fans and offers more cooling power than a single night light, making it a dual-purpose device and one less device to carry.
The night light features soft, bright, and SOS modes, making it more adaptable to nighttime scenarios than regular night lights, making it especially suitable for moms and campers.
The lightweight 180g design and desktop mode make it easy to use at night, eliminating the need to constantly hold it. Every detail is thoughtfully designed to meet your nighttime needs.
