The IKEA ANKARLÄGG nightlight has been designed by Bruno Adrien Aguirre as a charming, low-cost accessory from the brand that's engineered to be positioned anywhere that a touch of illumination is needed.
The nightlight is powered by two AAA batteries to maximize its ability to be installed anywhere by eliminating the need for an outlet or hardwiring. The nightlight has a motion sensor built-in that will activate when it senses motion within three-meters to work well in areas that might be devoid of hardwired lights.
The IKEA ANKARLÄGG nightlight is rated to last for up to six-months with regular use and can be easily affixed onto a wall or surface with double-sided adhesive tape. The light comes as part of the brand's continued expansion of its home tech accessory range.
