Tools and Hardware Reviews of Feit Electric 8 LED Nightlights
Customer Review: Brighter models are better
Summary: 4 Stars
Six of these nightlights are the NL/1 model, which uses 0.3 watts, and two are the NL/6 ("theater light") model, which uses 0.6 watts. For comparison, I also bought an NL/5 modelFeit Electric NL5/LED Rotating Night Light with Sensor, which is similar to the NL/1 but uses 0.6 watts and has a rotating shield to block the light in one direction. All the models have good light sensors to automatically turn off during the day. I've only had them a few days and can't judge durability, though the NL/5 has a lifetime replacement guarantee.
My lights are used in rooms without windows, so they are on 24 hours per day (except when I turn on the regular room light). For this usage a nightlight without any light sensor might last longer, as do regular light bulbs that are left on all the time.
I much prefer the 0.6-watt models over the NL/1. They are twice as bright, well worth the extra 50 cents per year in electricity. Their shields are also useful, as the the LED's are a little too bright to look at comfortably.
Customer Review: Cost effective, but the theatre lights don't turn off.
Summary: 3 Stars
Firt of all, I got this bulk pack elsewhere for way less, so shop around.
Second, the theatre lights, which are the really cool looking ones that aren't too harsh to look at, never turn off in response to the overhead lights being turned on. The only way I can get those to turn off is to shine a flashlight right into the light sensor.
Third, the other design switches on a off perfectly, but the light is very cold and harsh to look at. Whatever a candle is, think the opposite and you'll get the idea of what these look like. However, if you like the ambience of a starship running on emergency power, you'll love these.
Still, the price is right, and they do allow me to turn off some much more power hungry lights at night without stumbling around the house.
Oh yeah, about the theatre lights again: these are just tall enough so that if I plug them directly into my wall outlet in the top plug, they render the bottom useless, and if I plug them into the bottom plug, they make it impossible to plug a three-prong plug into the top plug.
So, you get what you pay for. If you want bang per buck, this is your ticket. If you want warm and cozy, look elsewhere.
Customer Review: Easy fix for Theatre lights
Summary: 4 Stars
The other reviewers are correct in saying there are problems with the theatre lights staying on all the time, but there is an easy fix. All you have to do is open the product and CAREFULLY trim the black plastic housing covering the light sensor. After I did that, the theatre lights worked perfectly! I rate this product 4 out of 5 because I had to fix a problem that should have been taken care of at the factory.
I suspect more of these products will be sold now that there is a fix for the lights. Will I get a discount on all future purchases? Hmm? LOL
Customer Review: Fiet nightlights
Summary: 4 Stars
I agree with "lighten up" on the theater lights; they will only be good for always dark areas. I may stick them in dark areas anyway; one watt, one year, one buck so why not?
The rest are great. They come on at about the right light level and guide our way. Yes, the light is a bit garish but, in the middle of night, who cares?
I'm using 3, gave one away and have two at the ready. For the price, good deal!
Customer Review: Great for the price!
Summary: 4 Stars
You've probably seen these in stores for $3 each or a 2-back for $4.
This is a 6 pack of the 'normal' lights which also includes two extra of the louvered style. They are all light-sensing and - as mentioned in other reviews - the 'normal' ones are more sensitive than the louvered ones.
I've strategically placed them around my home so that at night, there is a nice moonlight-type glow all around. Keeps the family from stubbing toes or having to turn on lights to make their way to the fridge or the restroom.
If you want more of an incandescent yellow/white light, you'll probably have to spend more on an other brand, but if you don't mind the bluish hue of these, they're great.
