A night light is a low intensity light that provides gentle, localized ambience for comfort or convenience in dark areas or during the hours of darkness. It is often used to provide wayfinding lighting that makes navigating throughout a living space in the dark easier and safer. Night lights are also used to create a mental state of calmness or tranquility for people who are afraid of the dark. Fear of the dark is a common experience in young children so taking care to relieve their anxiety and nervousness during the nighttime is important from a parenting perspective. Adults who developed nyctophobia, a phobia characterized by a severe fear of the dark, also make use of night light to maintain their peace of mind. Night lights are installed virtually anywhere from bedrooms, bathrooms, living rooms, kitchens, utility rooms, basements, attics, stairways and hallways to closets, cupboards and shelves.
