In English: night light, light in the night. From Latin \"lux\" nominative form of \"lux\", light, the light, a light, and \"nocti\", genitive of nocte, night, the night, a night, and hence \"of the night\".

O termo empregado pela Leica e outras câmeras é Noctilux, que em latim não quer dizer nada e parece ser marca comercial, não lux nocti. Mas a outra resposta me fez pensar que talvez a melhor tradução seja \"luz noturna\". A minha primeira sugestão foi literal demais.
