Home Safety: Nightlights for Everyday and Power Outages
home4less | February 1, 2012
I purchased these nightlights some six months ago and they are still going on strong – most likely due to its LED bulb. Despite the initial surprise at the 3 AA battery requirements (not included), the investment certainly pays off in the long run for the added safety and energy efficiency. No more stumbling in the dark in hallways, staircases, closets, and the like. The auto-motion detection seems to work well, providing hands-free lighting at the onset of nighttime.
Despite the usefulness and surprising affordability of these units, some care needs to be exercised when removing the battery cover as the plastic construction is a bit flimsy and can be broken off with little effort. Having purchased a few of these to utilize throughout the house, I did end up having one broken out of the package, so be sure to check return policies regarding a replacement.
Additionally, I like the versatility that these night lights provide; I can set them on ledges and various surfaces or optionally hang them – a plastic hook for doing so is included.
