Rainbow glow night light

Abstract

A nightlight includes a housing configured similarly to a typical electrical plug connector, and a pair of spade lug connectors to be plug-engaged in a typical electrical power receptacle. Within the housing, an electrical circuit is supported that includes a pick-off capacitor connected to a full wave bridge rectifier. A plurality of LEDs of differing colors are mounted on an outer surface of the housing and are powered by the rectifier. The LEDs are aimed to direct their illumination toward the wall in which the electrical power receptacle is mounted, each LED creating a pool of light of its respective color on the wall. The LEDs may be aimed so that their circles of illumination overlap to some extent, whereby the colors may blend and form a rainbow display of spectral colors that blend together in varying degrees to approximate the color variety and display of a rainbow.
