OK, ATM we have a night light in the girls room. As for the fire hazard, they are required by law to only have a low wattage and voltage light globe and they all have transformers. The globes in the girls light are 12volt, 15watt, and they are really really hard to find. In hindsight (which is a wonderful thing ) we should have just gotten a normal lamp and put a low wattage globe in it ( you can get them down to 15watt). We do have a dimmer swtich in the hall light that is between the kids rooms, but Lindsay hates the light on. I am actually more worried about leaving the hall light on all night LOL. As for them getting inquisitive, just make sure you have it up high or turn it off at the powerpoint.
