  1. I quite agree 7 watts is to high but most of the night-lights being sold in the UK are a 7 Watt filament bulb so when you take into account the extra £2.00 worth of energy they use every year plus the bulbs only last any thing from 6-12 months they are not so cheap. There is also another consideration, child safety; filament bulbs may be fine on the ceiling, on a table lamp but at skirting board level , in the play zone, they are an electrocution risk to children as they are so badly manufactutred the protectivecover over the bulb is very easily broken leaving a bare 240 volt bulb.  
  2. Hi Pierre SafeTlight is a totally new idea as it was designed to quite literaly 'plug the gap in safety' a plug in device that turns any power point into an Emergency lighting point in the home but still leaving the power point free to use. In a public place emergency lighting is a provision by law but in our homes it is suggested we have a torch. when my mother had a power cut she nearly fell down the stairs while trying to find the torch; in effect she was less safe at in her own home and that inbalence I had to correct. I looked at what i could buy and found that it was a comprimise between a torch with a recharger and cable that would not look very attractive pluged in on the landing and was bound to be un plugged when she wanted to do the vacuming and i just knew would not be pluged back in again so defeated the whole objective; it was also in the instructions that the rechargable torch was not designed to be plugged in perminantly. Then there were industrial emergency light units which were not designed for a home which i could put a cable on and plug in, that also blocked the plug the same as above, So I invented SafeTlight which is a totally new idea for which i recieved a British Invention Double Gold Award in October 2006 and a Gold Medal for design. SafeTlight often gets compared to a night-light like the ones you refer to that can be purchased for a few pounds with a 7watt filament bulb but its a little like comparing a push bike to a car they will both get you from A to B but that is there only similarity
