Night lights are just what the name implies, lights that turn on at night to light up dark areas and make them safe for people passing through. They are found in a variety of places, from the roadside to walkways in public parks. They can also be found in residential areas such as a corridor to the garage, as well as businesses such as supermarkets and convenience stores which are open at night. Night lights help to make areas safer for both those walking and driving around them. They give off a soft light, which helps those walking or driving to be able to see their way. This light also helps to prevent accidents as people can identify and avoid obstacles which are within the area of the nighttime illumination. Night lights also help to make areas less inviting to criminals. People are far less likely to go to areas that are lit up than they are ones in complete darkness. Looking around, it is easy to see why this is the case. Not only does the soft, yet perceptible light deter criminals and keep them away, it also helps to remove some of the fear from those passing through the areas. In summary, night lights help to make the night time world a safer, more welcoming place for all.
