Abstract: The NiteNob is a totally new take on an item taken for granted in every home or dwelling; the door knob. What makes the NiteNob stand out versus a standard door knob is the feature of a built in safety feature, the LED ring which allows the internal room side of the door knob to shine a dim light. The LED light which is emitted from the NiteNob can easily be located in a dark or smoke filled room allowing a person to quickly make their way toward the exit. In a non emergency situation the NiteNob assumes the docile role of reassuring night light which many people find soothing and comforting in an otherwise dark bedroom, hallway or bathroom.
