A light-emitting diode is mounted to the housing and is configured to emit a first color of light. Circuitry is electrically connected to the light-emitting diode. The circuitry is configured for energizing the light-emitting diode when the first and second prongs are inserted into an electrical outlet connected to a power source. A color filter is mounted on the housing. The color filter is configured to filter the first color of light emitted from the light emitting diode to produce at least a second color of light different from the first color of light. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An LED night-light comprising: a housing; first and second prongs extending out of the housing; a light-emitting diode mounted to the housing and configured to emit a first color of light; circuitry electrically connected to the light-emitting diode, said circuitry configured for energizing the light-emitting diode when the first and second prongs are inserted into an electrical outlet connected to a power source; a color wheel mounted on the housing and exposed from the housing such that the color wheel is configured to be grasped by a user to manually move the color wheel relative to the housing, the color wheel comprising a color filter being configured to filter the first color of light emitted from the light emitting diode to produce at least a second color of light different from the first color of light; and a cover mounted on the housing, the cover having a closed top. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The LED night-light set forth in claim 1, wherein the color filter is configured to filter the first color of light emitted from the light emitting diode to produce a plurality of colors of light different from the first color of light. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The LED night-light set forth in claim 2, wherein the color filter comprises a plurality of color filter sections that are movable in registration with the light-emitting diode to filter the first color of light emitted from the light emitting diode. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The LED night-light set forth in claim 3, wherein the plurality of color filter sections comprise a clear section, a red section, an orange section, a yellow section, a green section, a blue section, a pink section, a coral section, and a black section. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The LED night-light set forth in claim 3, wherein the color filter is rotatably mounted on the housing to selectively place the color filter sections in registration with the light-emitting diode. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The LED night-light set forth in claim 5, wherein the color filter comprising a film, the plurality of color filter sections being defined by colored sections of the film. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The LED night-light set forth in claim 6, wherein the film comprises a circular piece of material, the plurality of color filter sections each comprising pie shaped portions of the circular piece of material. ### Claim 8 (depends on 5) The LED night-light set forth in claim 5, further comprising a disk received within a groove in the housing, the color filter being mounted on the disk so that movement of the disk in the groove causes the color filter to rotate relative to the housing. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The LED night-light set forth in claim 8, further comprising a dial mounted on the disk, the dial being configured to be grasped by a user to rotate the disk in the groove for rotating the color filter relative to the housing. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The LED night-light set forth in claim 9, wherein the housing includes a rim, the dial being seated on the rim. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The LED night-light set forth in claim 10, wherein the light-emitting diode is disposed entirely within the housing below the rim of the housing. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The LED night-light set forth in claim 1, further comprising a plate mounting the light-emitting diode. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The LED night-light set forth in claim 1, further comprising a switch assembly mounted to the housing and actuatable to selectively energize and de-energize the light-emitting diode when the first and second prongs are inserted into an electrical outlet connected to a power source.
