Try searching for turtle night light. I saw quite a few!

My kids had a lamp where the base also lit up. I'm not sure if they make them any more but they are similar to the link below. The base has a hole in the bottom for a night light bulb & was really good as a light to keep on when they were like this. Even though it took a night light bulb; the light seemed stronger then a regular night light.

This is a better example of the lamp - Mets lamp by Wincraft
o Decorative cylinder is made of translucent plastic which glows from the inside.
o Three-way switch allows lamp to be illuminated with the top light only, base light only or both at the same time.
o Measures 17" height and fits easily on any nightstand
o UL listed includes 7.5 watt bulb for base. Requires 40 watt bulb (not included) for top shade light.

I have two that are similar to those in the turtle lamp link provided. They are set up in both foyers, on the floor, tucked next to a table, etc. Work very well and look nice too!

Gives just a bit of light so as not to stub a toe when I come downstairs in the middle of the night. Actually, I leave them burning all of the time. It got to be a PIA to remember to turn them on, turn them off. They take a tiny bulb.

Thanks for all the tips and the feedback. I really must have been searching incorrectly since I never came up with the examples all of you provided! I'm so glad that I posted here.

Mitchdesj - those are almost exactly like it! Thanks for the link.

Work in progress - that is how I saw them used in the past. Perhaps I'll get two to prevent stubbed toes in the night.

I really didn't pay much attention to the price on the linked site. I think mine came from HD or Lowes and were in the neighborhood of $10-15.

Thanks for the tip work_in_progress. I'll check those stores first.

Is this like yours?

amj - no, mine is the Meyda Tiffany type, however I didn't pay the price that is shown on mitch's link. I got them so long ago, I thought is was HD or Lowes.

Definitely paid less than the Meyda price on the link. I liked the solid gold color glass shell on the turle. It makes a nice low light effect, and really not noticeable that it is lit during the day.

My son has been asking about the light for months - off and on. I told him that I found one and asked if he wanted to see it on the computer. So I showed him the Tiffany styled light from Lowe's.

His response: "I want a green one." LOL.

Now there's a 3 year old who knows what he likes. Looks like I'll be getting one with a solid green shell.
