Abstract: Enclosed herein is a design and method for creating a decorative extruded translucent or transparent nightlight shape where the outer edge illumination of said extruded core shape is enhanced when said core shape is illuminated by an internal light source and also when illuminated by ambient light. This is accomplished by adding a rough bevel to the edge of the decorative extruded core shape to refract light back to the face near the shape's edge. The edge of said core shape appears brighter than that of the center of said core shape or that of the light source and is also visible from angles perpendicular or close to perpendicular to the facing edge of said shape, not just the side angle viewing delivered by a square edge. The outer edge illumination is further intensified by creating the translucent or transparent core shape element out of a hard or flexible material with edge glow doping.
