A nightlight is a small light source, placed for comfort or convenience in indoor dark areas or areas that become dark at certain times. People often use nightlights for the sense of security which having a light on provides. 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. Other types of wall lighting fixtures include wall sconces, vanity lights, swing arm lights, wallchieres, and night lights. Popular styles include contemporary, traditional, baroque, mission, artisan, craftsman and tiffany.
