Tools and Hardware Reviews of Feit Electric NL6/LED Theatre-Style Night Light with Sensor
Customer Review: Brighter than I expected
Summary: 4 Stars
This little guy puts out plenty of light for a short stairway or a small room (I use it in my bathroom). One consideration: the louvers, being white, reflect as much as they direct, so they don't really concentrate the light much in a particular direction. And as another reviewer mentioned, it is a bit large so you can't put a 3 prong plug or a power cube into the adjacent outlet. But most two prong plugs will squeeze in.
Edit: I recently noticed that the light sensor in this unit isn't as sensitive as the similar light I replaced. So be aware that if the place you put it doesn't receive much light during the day, it may not go off in the daytime. This is a very minor issue though because it draws so little power.
Customer Review: Cute, but not all that bright.
Summary: 3 Stars
Of course, it's not supposed to be that bright, being a night light, but what I'm talking about is just the design and performance here.
First, I got two of these along with six other nightlights of a different design in a bulk "8 pack" for way way less than buying one individually, so please do yourself a favor and shop around for other ways this manufacturer packages their nightlights.
Second, the sensor is supposed to turn them off when your overhead lights are turned on, but neither of my theatre style lights turn off automatically. One even has two sixty watt bulbs burning about nine feet right above it, and it says on. A different design from the same manufacturer turns on and off perfectly in relationship to the indoor lighting.
The only way to get the theatre style to turn off is to shine a flashlight directly in the light sensor. So, well see about the 50,000 hours if my theatre lights stay on for five and a half years straight, because they never turn off.
Finally, 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, maybe some engineers need to get out of the theatre and do some redesign work here. At least I only paid about two dollars each for mine, and they do look neat when they're on, which is all the time.
Customer Review: Good Product
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is great, the light is a soft blue tone. It doesn't hurt your eyes when you wake up in the middle of the night. You can angle the fins on the night light, so the light is not all over the place. And as soon as Amazon has more in stock ill be getting a few more.Customer Review: Good but not great
Summary: 4 Stars
Pros: Neat looking, energy efficient, good amount of light, light detection switch works well, lifetime warrenty
Cons:
1. There are only 2 leds, not 3 listed in the technical specs
2. Unit is big and will block the second outlet. You will most likely have to unplug unit if you want to use a vaccum cleaner or anything alike.
3. My kid loves to mess with the louvers on the thing.
Overall:
I really like the it. I have only had it for a few days, but it gives my home a uniform lighting look at night. Hopefully they last for awhile.
Customer Review: Good price but so-so value
Summary: 3 Stars
Bought the three-pack. The lights work but the sensor is not especially good - the theater-style light blinks/flashes if the light in the room is not quite bright enough. Overall, they are OK.
