Remember when window-lights (to distinguish from electric or gas
lights) over bedroom doors where a thing back in Edwardian and maybe
earlier times? Though that was to allow light into the hallway.

Oh is that what it's for

I always wondered

Our house was built in the 30s BTW

Sister's previous house that them was built in the 70s

I thought it was so the landing light lit the kiddies' bedrooms if they
were scared of the dark. And you can tell if you have left the light on
in the room. (A flat built in the late 80s I had had them.)
