Nightlights are an essential piece of interior decor when one has young children around, and the SnapPower SwitchLight is a good way to replace nightlights with something more ubiquitous and convenient. The SnapPower SwitchLight is a [light switch cover](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-switches1) that looks just like any other while the lights are on, but it automatically emits a gentle glow when the lights are off.

The SwitchLight uses an [LED light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-gmpyssling-led-light), which provides the ideal amount of illumination (neither too bright nor too dim) while lasting for up to 25 years. With the LED in the light switch itself, the SwitchLight frees up one's outlets from being dominated by nightlights.

Since the mechanism for the SwitchLight is embedded directly onto the back of the cover, it doesn't take any specialized knowledge or an electrician in order to install it. All a homeowner needs is a screwdriver and the device itself.
