I agree. I had several nightlights in my house until I realized that, when the power goes out at night, you are in total darkness. I replaced some of them with rechargeable emergency flashlights ($12 on Amazon). Now, when the power goes out, the flashlights come on. The flashlight coming on may be more noticable than a nightlight going out.
