What
When activated, the night light helps the resident by gently illuminating the room as the resident gets out of bed during night. The light will turn off as the resident gets back in bed. Depending on the Nobi model, the light will make use of the LED strips at the top or of the downward-facing light.

Why
The night light is there to help prevent falls, especially at night when residents go to or from the bathroom. It helps by providing the resident with a clear path to the bathroom, making it easier to see and move around safely. When a resident moves to sitting on the edge of their bed, the light will illuminate a soft light. The light then turns on fully as soon as the resident gets out of bed, helping them to see and find their way.
How does the Night Light work?
This automatic feature is triggered by detecting someone at the edge of the bed. It's therefore not recommended for residents who may often sleep restlessly, moving their limbs over the edge while sleeping, as it might unintentionally turn on the light.
The functioning of the Nobi night light varies slightly across different models. Here’s a brief overview of how it operates:
| Action | Nobi with LED strips at the top | Nobi without LED strips at the top |
| Sitting on edge of bed to get in bed | The downward-facing light turns off, and the upward-facing light turns on. | The light shines softly |
| Lying down in bed | Both lights turn off | The light turns off |
| Sitting up straight or at the edge of bed | The upward-facing light turns on. | The light shines softly |
| Getting out of bed | The downward-facing light turns on, and the upward-facing light turns off. | The light turns on at full capacity |
When enabled, the night light is active day and night.
Please note: the Night Light feature is only available for single-person housing units and individual rooms in a Jack & Jill housing unit. The night light will not work as it should if two people sleep in the same bed. This because if one person gets out of bed, the night light will still detect a person in bed thus not turn on. Therefore, it is not possible to enable the Night Light in multi-person housing units.
While it is possible to adjust the brightness and warmth of the light, it is not possible to change the color of the light.
