Nightlight with light emitting diode source

摘要

A series of light emitting diodes (LEDs) are mounted within a housing (10) and operate as the light source for a nightlight. One LED (26) is positioned at each of the four corners of the housing forming an array of LEDs which generates an LED emitted light. The LEDs are all interconnected through printed wiring (40) mounted within the housing. Power is provided to each of the LED's through the printed wiring which is coupled to a power source. The power source can be a battery assembly (160), an electrical outlet or an energy storage device. An adjustable switch (50) is disposed on an exterior surface of the wall plate and is coupled to a variable resistor enclosed by the housing. The switch permits control over the optical output.
