Get your kids a damned night light.

preferrably a red-emitting one.

My nieces and nephews all have bug zappers as night lights, just as a safety measure to ease my siblings' minds, the zappers are inside of plastic bird cages, bugs go in and die, the family cats can't touch them

Actually they sell light bulbs that have big zappers built into them. They work great with can lights. You cycle the light switch to flip between white light, a dim UV but light inside the body of the light, and both. I keep one or two in the kitchen to get rid of fruit flies.

I know, I shopped for them, the ones I saw are made by a flashlight company called "NEBO"

I like flashlights

I've had some great ones, and some terrible ones. The bad ones only lasted for a couple of months. The good ones lasted years. I'll have to check out the NEBO brand.
