EPUMP Paint Your Own Cat Lamp Kit (Rechargeable 1200mAh) with 2 Light Modes

What it is and why kids will actually use it

This EPUMP kit is a “paint your own” cat night light made to turn a simple craft into something kids can switch on at home. You’re not just buying paints and a picture—there’s a soft silicone cat lamp, plus brushes, a palette, stickers and everything needed to decorate it, then charge and use it as a lamp.

On paper, it hits a few common parent goals at once: creative play, a calmer bedtime vibe once it’s finished, and a rechargeable design that avoids juggling spare batteries. If your child enjoys colouring, decorating and small hands-on projects, this kind of kit tends to be more memorable than a basic light.

The glow setup: 2 light modes and what they’re like

Once the cat is painted, the lamp includes two light modes. There’s a white light mode aimed at cosy bedtime moments, and a colour-changing mode that drifts through warm, calming shades. That “gentle glow” angle is the point—this isn’t meant to be a bright, task lighting solution, but rather a comforting night companion.

A built-in 1200mAh rechargeable battery is included, with the claim of up to 10 hours of continuous light on a full charge, and recharging is done via the included USB cable. So if bedtime lights usually end up as something parents turn on briefly and then forget about, this is at least designed to be practical for everyday use.

Crafting experience: what comes in the box and how it feels

The kit includes the soft silicone cat lamp (15.6×10.1×9.7 cm), 12 bright paints, 2 paint brushes, a palette, USB charging cable, an instruction manual, stickers, and a gift-ready box. It’s clearly positioned as a kid craft (with some adult-friendly guidance), especially for children around the ages stated.

The lamp itself is described as bigger, softer and safer, made from premium soft silicone with rounded edges. That matters because hard plastic craft lamps can feel a bit unforgiving during play. With silicone, the lamp is designed to be smooth to the touch and gently squeezable—so even the “I’m excited and I’ll hold it while painting” moments are more comfortable.

Where it shines (and where it might fall short)

It’s a solid pick if you want a creative toy that ends up as a usable night light, not something that gets left in a drawer after the craft session. The combination of painting, stickers and a glowing final result gives kids a sense of ownership—there’s something satisfying about making it, then switching it on.

That said, there are a couple of limitations to bear in mind. The light modes are about ambience, so it may not suit if you’re expecting strong room illumination. Also, the “up to 10 hours” figure depends on use and how it’s run, so in real life battery time can be less than the headline.

If you’re the type of buyer who prefers very quick, low-effort crafts, this may still take longer than a simple sticker activity, because painting and decorating is the main event.

Who it suits best (and who should consider other options)

It suits you if your child enjoys arts and crafts, particularly painting and creating themed items like a cat light for bedtime. The age range given (around 5–12) suggests it’s meant for children who can handle colouring with guidance, then use the lamp independently afterwards.

It might not be a great match if you’re buying purely for a night light and don’t really want the DIY element. For that, a ready-made lamp would be simpler. And if you’re looking for a lamp that’s meant to provide bright lighting for reading or chores, this kit’s ambience-first design may feel underpowered.

Things to check before you buy

Before you commit, it’s worth checking whether your child will enjoy the full “paint it yourself” workflow, not just the glowing part. Also consider whether you’re happy with USB recharging as the power method—there’s no mention of replacing batteries, so it relies on topping it up when needed.

If you’re buying as a gift, the included instruction manual and gift-ready box are useful touches, but do make sure you have time for at least one craft session together—these kits are usually more fun when an adult is nearby.

Is it worth it?

Buy it if you want a DIY cat lamp kit that combines a hands-on arts activity with a rechargeable, ambience-style night light featuring white and colour-changing modes. It’s especially appealing for children who like painting and want their finished creation to serve a real purpose at bedtime.

Skip it if your priority is instant, no-mess lighting or if you expect bright room illumination. It’s also less ideal if you’re not keen on USB charging routines.
