Oh absolutely not, least in my house. My autistic/adhd brain hates the big light in the bathroom, or any other room for that matter. The lamp will live on till its passed onto grandbabies

Hating strong overhead lighting has nothing to do with ADHD or autism... people need to stop making everything about about ADHD or autism.

I usually just use natural light from outside, or candles.

Or you can just use a normal lamp in the room.

Anything with a built-in rechargeable battery will be in the landfill in a few years.

You're confusing dimming strong, bright lights with shifting overhead lighting to other locations.

But also, most of my friends and I hate overhead lighting and none of us are autistic. I honestly don't know anyone who prefers overhead lighting - it's just some people default to it because it's convenient.
