摘要： An improved night light incorporating effective safety features that greatly reduce the risk of electrocution by small children. The housing of the night light flares out towards its back surface to prevent an adult's or child's fingers from accidently contacting electrically live blades while inserting or removing it from an electrical receptacle. The blades are constructed so that their length is a function of the distance the blades are below the surface of a receptacle, the distance from the side of the blade where it protrudes from the back surface of the housing to the side edge of the housing and the distance from the bottom edge of the blade to the bottom edge of the back surface of the housing. A toggle provides on and off control of the night light. An open loop of spring metal provides the toggle with a snap action feel when operated. A snap on shade prevents glare to a user from direct exposure to the illuminating bulb.
