And how are they wired? As 24/7 night lights, or off the switch?

Thankfully, the NEC solved that debate by requiring AFCI's in all living areas. I think they changed the code because someone on the CMP read the M.H. Forum thread about that topic.

Funny ..In reading this reminds me..
When my kids we're growing up I put a c6 white Christmas light up in the light fixture in parallel with the switch to provide a night light.
BTW that was in the early 80s before CFLs

That reminds me...
When my son was little, I wired a 2a 400v diode across the switch in the hall bath, so he had on and dim.
(And no, I didn't write 'dim' over the 'off' on the toggle.  )

Of course, that's a mixed blessing.
