Problems solved by technology

A night light of this type which provides low-level illumination, is purely utilitarian in function and appearance, and it makes no useful or decorative contribution to the room apart from low-level illumination.

A totally dark room is not the ideal environment for sleeping, for it may be psychologically depressing to the occupant.

Moreover, should the sleeper awaken and then move about the dark room, he may collide with furniture and other articles therein.
