An HVAC register or return grille with an integrated nightlight, a battery-operated nightlight module and an area on the grille suitable for mounting the nightlight module. The nightlight module is operatively coupled to the grille and fitted with motion sensing technology to activate the light when a user nears the device. The integration of nightlight technology into HVAC grilles allows for a discrete nightlight location and enhances the utility of conventional HVAC register and return grilles.
