Night Lights Night lights are electrical lighting fixtures made to shine in the dark, used for security, visibility, and as a decorative element. They come in many shapes, sizes, and designs, and can be used both indoors and outdoors. Outdoor night lights include floodlights, wall-mounted fixtures, and landscape designs. Floodlights are large lights, usually mounted on a wall, that send a wide beam of bright light in a certain area. Wall-mounted night lights are typically used to highlight a specific area, such as a garden path or tree. Landscape lighting features, such as pathway lights and uplighting, are used to create a night-time ambience while also providing illumination. Indoor night lights come in a variety of styles and types. They can be found in many shapes and sizes, such as plug-in wall lights, nightlight lamps, and nightlight fixtures. Smaller plug-in wall lights are often used as night lights, while larger nightlight lamps are often used to illuminate hallways and staircases. Nightlight fixtures usually mount on the ceiling and can be controlled using a switch. Night lights can come with added features such as motion sensors, which turn the light on when movement is detected, or automatic timers, that switch the light on when the sun goes down. They can be used for security, visibility, and decoration, and come in many shapes and sizes, making them suitable for both indoors and outdoors.
