This 3-in-1 night light is nearly 30% off for Amazon Prime Day. It shows off a combination of auroras and stars and includes a white noise feature to help you relax or sleep.

If you prefer a more active experience, there is also an option to make the lights sync with music, disco-style. Whatever lighting option you choose, however, you can tell the device to switch everything off with a timer, to save a little energy.

The manufacturer has a couple of cautions to make your experience as best as possible. Don't keep the light on for more than four hours, lest you burn out the included LED lights or bulbs. Also, the projected size the projection is meant to cover caps out around 25 by 25 feet (7 by 7 meters), so bear that in mind in unusually large spaces.

The package includes a remote control, a USB cable and a user's manual. Happy aurora watching!
