Abstract
An LED night-light generally includes a standard night-light assembly for an incandescent light bulb retrofit with an LED. A housing has an interior surface defining a cylindrical opening. The interior surface has threads adapted to mate with a threaded end of the incandescent light bulb. First and second prongs extend out of the housing and are configured for insertion into an electrical outlet. A groove is in the interior surface of the housing. A disk is received in the groove and mounts the LED to the housing so that the standard night-light assembly is retrofit as an LED night-light.
