It is ideal for maintaining visibility without compromising restful sleep.

The Manta TrueRed Night Light balances nighttime visibility and restful, uninterrupted sleep.

This allows you to move around safely at night without compromising your ability to fall back into deep sleep.

The Manta TrueRed Night Light adapts to your preferences with adjustable brightness. Whether you need a brighter light for specific tasks or prefer a soft, ambient glow, the simple one-button control allows you to tailor the lighting to your liking.

Designed with modern spaces in mind, its compact and minimalist design effortlessly blends into any decor without taking up valuable outlet space. Its sleek appearance ensures it remains practical yet unobtrusive, offering function without sacrificing style.

One of the standout features of the Manta TrueRed Night Light is its intelligent light sensor, which automatically adjusts to ambient light conditions. It turns on when it detects low light levels and switches off when it’s no longer needed, making it energy-efficient and convenient. Plug it in, set it, and forget it—the night light handles the rest.

The Manta TrueRed Night Light duo provides an intelligent, soothing lighting solution for those who value a good night’s rest while maintaining practical nighttime visibility. It's perfect for bedrooms, nurseries, hallways, or any other space where sleep and safety are a priority.
