Night Light

Night Light is the sort of product people buy to keep a room from going fully black without waking everyone up. By our assessment, its value is in that soft, low-level glow that helps with hallways, children’s rooms, and late-night trips to the kitchen. The downside is obvious too: it is not room lighting, so it will never replace a proper lamp, and the wrong brightness can either feel useless or too bright. In practice it is usually a small object that stays in the wall or on a table and is forgotten until needed, which is the point. Compared with torches or full lamps, it asks for less attention and gives less light. It is a sensible pick for people who want a simple night cue, not a cure for bad lighting.
