LED night lights do not glare, many are no brighter than the pilot
light on a PC power switch, many have an adjustable lens cover to make
them dimmer... and night lights are generally plugged into an outlet
that is some 16 inches above the floor... they are meant to light
where one walks.
I've tried many night lights, I like the ones I cited best, they don't
cover the second outlet on a dual recepticle, I like that they come on
at dusk and go off at dawn, they last for more than 15 years
(incondesent night lite bulbs barely last four months and they ain't
inexpensive) and they always seem to burn out when you have no
replacement... but mostly I like that they use less than 1 watt....
they do NOT glare, they emit a soft glow, not really noticeable unless
you are looking for them... and can easily be dimmed by covering part
of the lens with a piece of tape.
