Put the button somewhere easy to reach near the bed, with the light somewhere visible. Mash the light when your partner has done good...

So, youre not allowed to be distracted by your phone, or a screen in the car, lets get distracted by the button when someone moves it or it falls off where youve put it.......

Anyone worked out what the wireless linkage between the button and the light is?, I'm guessing its likely Bluetooth  (to keep battery drain low?)

Might be interesting to see what authentication is done , or can you control lots of lights from just one button?

Probably a bulk purchase from Aliexpress, so authentication will be replicated across 20million different devices out there ;)

1) Assuming one button works them all, modify it with your street number, put it on your letter box then when a taxi/Uber Eats/visitor/emergency services etc are trying to read the letter box numbers, they hit their button to illuminate the near-by letter boxes. 

2) Beef it up with a couple of thousand lumen's s of LED's, then when someone is high-beaming your mirrors.......

Seems like an idiotic idea. What happened to the good ol wave of the hand?

I'm surprised this isn't in violation of some law.

Cosmetic lamps can be any colour as long as they meet the following requirements.

 

• They must be angled downwards and fitted so that the light source isn’t directly visible from the front or back of the vehicle (this will prevent the lights distracting, confusing or dazzling other road users). See diagram below.
• You must not be able to see any red light from directly in front of the vehicle.
• They should only give off light that is spread out (diffuse) rather than light concentrated in a beam.
• They must not be positioned close to essential lights such as headlights or indicators.
• They must not flash, pulse, fade in and out or change colour.
• They must not revolve, rotate or move in any direction.

I'm not really a fan of the actual product.... but devil's advocate... 

How different is pressing this button to pressing your hazards for a "thank you" like is commonly the courtesy?

Surely this button could be stuck somewhere more accessible in some cases

I wonder if BP checked this out before the marketing department went and did that. It looks to me like they're in violation of the road rules. Has anyone pointed this out to them?

hmmn.
So , would advertising lights stuck on top of cars would also be illegal ?

eg on taxi's & those temp display lights that pizza deliverers stick on their roof

I think this is the more appropriate section: https://www.nzta.govt.nz/resources/rules/vehicle-lighting-2004/#108

An illuminated sign must not be fitted so as to dazzle, confuse, or distract other road users when operated, and must not display a variable or moving message unless the sign is:

• (a) a destination sign on a bus; or
• (b) a variable message sign on a vehicle that is operated by an enforcement officer; or
• (c) a variable message sign:

   

  • (i) for use on a vehicle operated in accordance with a traffic management plan; or
  • (ii) permitted by any other enactment.

"Cosmetic" lights are something different.

Pretty smart by BP. Now those people who buy into this, those same people who probably put those stick figures of their families in their windows can have BP front of mind on every trip.
