The Smiling Shark XYD027 is our Best Waterproof night light: nine lighting modes, USB-C charging, and a soft skin-friendly finish, for around ₱689 as of August 6, 2026.
What does it offer that others don’t?
Range and durability, at least on paper. Nine lighting modes is the widest selection in our night-light picks, so it covers everything from a dim sleep glow to colored atmospheric light.
USB-C charging is a small but real advantage. Most cheap night lights still ship with micro-USB, which means keeping an obsolete cable around specifically for one device.
The waterproof description opens up places other night lights can’t go: a bathroom, a balcony, a covered outdoor space. And Smiling Shark is an established lighting seller with its own official store, which also makes the YJ5805 work lamp we cover.
What holds it back?
Evidence, almost entirely. One owner rating. That is the thinnest base of anything in either lighting cluster, and it means the 5.0 average carries no information at all. At around ₱689 that’s a real risk, because you have no idea whether these last a month or five years.
The waterproof claim has the same problem: no IP rating is published. IP codes are the standard that tells you whether something survives splashes, rain, or submersion, and without one “waterproof” is marketing rather than a specification. Treat it as splash resistance.
Battery capacity and runtime aren’t published either, and nine modes cycling through a single button means passing settings you’ll never use to reach the one you want.
Is it sulit?
Around ₱689 as of August 6, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. That’s the same money as the Rocoren magnetic light, which has 95 ratings and a clear purpose. Unless you specifically need a light that tolerates damp, the Rocoren is the safer buy.
Who should buy it
Buy this if you need a night light somewhere damp, like a bathroom or a covered balcony, and you’re comfortable being an early adopter. It’s the right choice for that narrow case. For a normal bedroom, buy something with a proven track record.

Alternatives to consider
Want the same money spent on something proven? The Rocoren magnetic night light costs around ₱689 with a 4.9 rating from 95 owners. Want the best-evidenced bedside light here? The Gold Star clock night light has more than 500 ratings and a remote.

Frequently Asked Questions
How waterproof is it really?
Unknown. The listing describes it as waterproof but publishes no IP rating, which is the standard that tells you whether something survives splashes, rain or submersion. Without that number, treat the claim as splash resistance at most.
Should I buy something with only one rating?
Cautiously. A single rating tells you nothing about reliability, and it is the thinnest evidence base of anything in our night light picks. If you want proven, buy one of the lights with hundreds of ratings instead.
What are the nine modes?
The listing describes nine coloured lighting modes for atmospheric use. It does not break down what each one is, and cycling nine modes on a single button means passing through settings you will never use.
Is Smiling Shark a real brand?
Yes. Smiling Shark makes portable and work lighting and runs its own official Shopee store. We also cover its YJ5805 work lamp, so it is an established seller rather than an anonymous label.
