A directional night light has a front face and a rear face, a source of illumination
within the interior of said housing, and an adjustment actuator such as a wheel.
At least a portion of the front face is translucent. The light source may be an
incandescent bulb, an LED lamp, an LED panel, an electroluminescent panel, an OLED
panel, and combinations thereof. The light source is mounted within the housing
so as to be rotatable about an axis through an arc of 30 to 150 by
actuation of the adjustment actuator, which has a portion extending forwardly beyond
the front face. In another embodiment, a directional night light has a bezel mounted
front face with a louvered element behind the front face through which light will
pass and be directed at an angle away from the front face.
