Why it's worth it

The G Keni is a palm-sized rechargeable lamp with a warm glow and one control: touch the top to switch it on, hold to dim. There's no app, no sound, and no setup. You charge it, set the brightness once, and it remembers.

One touch on the top turns it on. Hold it and the light ramps up or down. That's the entire interface, which is what you want when your hands are full and your eyes haven't adjusted. It remembers the brightness you last used, so you're not hit with a blast of light every night.

Cordless is the underrated part. G Keni rates the built-in battery at roughly fifteen hours at full brightness and up to sixty-five at the dimmest, so a low setting runs for several nights between charges. Parents.com reviewers note a growing preference for rechargeable lights precisely because they keep working through outages and move easily between rooms. A handle tucked into the base lets you hang it.
