Nightlight
A nightlight is a small light fixture, often electrical, placed for comfort or convenience in dark areas or areas that may become dark at certain times, such as in an emergency. Small long-burning candles serving a similar function are referred to as tealights.
== Use and culture ==
People often use nightlights for the sense of security which having a light on provides, and for a solution against nyctophobia (fear of the dark). Besides their usefulness to children in the allaying of their fears, nightlights are also useful to the general public by showing the general layout of a room without turning on a major light, for avoiding tripping over stairs or obstacles, or to mark an emergency exit. Exit signs often use tritium in the form of a traser. Some homeowners place nightlights in bathrooms to avoid turning on the main light fixture and causing their eyes to adjust to the light.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=National Sleep Foundation )〕
