night-light

Small bedroom lamp

A night-light is a small, dim lamp left on overnight, typically to help children feel safe in the dark or to illuminate hallways for navigation: She plugged in a night-light so the kids wouldn't be scared.

Night-lights provide just enough glow to see by without disrupting sleep.
