April Showers Bring May Flowers

Display the Switchables stained glass April Showers nightlight cover after you put away your St. Patrick's Day designs (see the Related Products tab) and before the summer covers come out.     

This is not a self-contained night light. Switchables stained glass night light covers are designed to be used with the Switchables Nightlight Fixture (sold separately). Switchables are "switchable" because you can easily swap any one of our covers onto the same simple fixture. You can also use your Switchables cover as a suncatcher, a Christmas ornament, or with any other kind of light source. To display your Switchables cover in a window, add the optional suction cup. Click the Related Products tab to see other display ideas. Switchables make gift-giving easy: Start your recipient out with a fixture and one or two covers, then buy him or her new covers on future gift-giving occasions.

The expression "April showers bring May flowers" is known throughout the English-speaking world. In early spring, the jet stream moves north and allows large low-pressure cells to bring stormy weather across the UK from the Atlantic, leading mild springtime weather to quickly give way to bands of sleet and snow. It's no accident that the modern raincoat was invented by a Scotsman named Charles Macintosh, and the Brits still call all raincoats Mackintoshes or Macks. Many had tried to make waterproof fabrics before, often involving rubber, but they were too heavy and uncomfortable to be practical.
