Tools and Hardware Reviews of Maxxima 5 LED Occupancy Sensor Light
Customer Review: Best on the market
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned three of these units and two others with only the two LED bulbs and am very pleased. It is best to use lithium batteries if you use them as I do in high traffic areas--bottom of the stairs, top of the stairs, bathrooms, kitchen. We can walk from room to room at night without turning on lights and our electricity bill has dramatically reflected this. I like the portability to take on trips where I can put it low next to my side of the bed so it lights my path when I get up without waking my spouse.
If I had one thing to suggest to the company it would be to design an optional holder so it would be harder to knock over inadvertently. Come to think of it, I actually could do that myself. Very pleased and about to order another one for another bathroom. When I came across the reviews, I felt I needed to add mine, since I am so very glad these are available.
Customer Review: Bright, Flexible and Eco-Friendly Nightlight
Summary: 5 Stars
This Maxxima 5-LED nightlight is an improvement on the Maxxima MLS-03 Occupancy Sensor 3 LED Light, which is a good night light also. Obviously this nightlight has 5 LEDs as opposed to the 3, making it 66.6% brighter.
In particular this nightlight is a great choice for those who want the flexibility of plugging a night light into a wall outlet via an adapter, instead of plugging the nightlight directly into the outlet. Note the adapter is not included, but can easily be found at an electronics retailer. The nightlight also offers the flexibility of running on 4 AA batteries, freeing you from the plug altogether. If you want to save energy over the traditional incandescent light-bulb nightlight, this is the product for you. Of course the light is a bright white color instead of a warm yellow that you can get from an incandescent bulb, but it stays cool and uses a lot less energy.
This nightlight is excellent at sensing motion and coming on only when needed, should you choose this setting. It can also be turned completely off or turned on so that is only comes on at dusk and turns off in the morning (based on ambient light levels, not a timer.)
If you want to plug your nightlight directly into an outlet, I would recommend looking at Maxxima's other LED nightlight offerings.
Cons: the clear plastic front could be partially frosted to help keep the LEDs from being piercingly bright. This nightlight will definitely give you enough light to avoid tripping on things or bumping into furniture at night.
p.s. This nightlight also comes in black if white does not match your decor. That model number is "MLS-05B."
Customer Review: For Travel or Just Lazy!
Summary: 5 Stars
These are the best out there. I've bought at least fifteen of these and had them for at least a year, and let me assure you they're exactly what you want if...
When you travel, whether it's to your parents' house or a strange hotel in a country where the electric plug is downright strange, this helps getting up when it's dark and you don't know where the light is, or when you go to the bathroom (including the path getting there);
At home in your bedroom (especially if you live alone) and you don't feel like turning the lights on and off. I adjust the timer so they stay on long enough for me to get to the bed and under the covers. I haven't turned on a light in my bedroom since I bought these!
When you have company, the first and second paragraphs. They love the fact that these turn on automatically and turn off equally without any bother on their part, and everybody loves lighting the way to the bathroom.
It doesn't happen often, but when the electricity goes out!
When a motion detector activated light will give you peace of mind against intruders.
I've had a few LCD bulbs burn out (the most frequently used) after a year or so, but these are so inexpensive.
I highly recommend going to the manufacturer's website and ordering the AC adapters! It will result in a next-to-nothing cost on the energy, and who doesn't love that?
And finally, little kids marvel at them and laugh!
Customer Review: Makes a great closet light
Summary: 5 Stars
Fantastic for that unlighted hall closet. Comes on when it sees motion (about 3 seconds) and goes off about 30 seconds after it sees no more motion. Runs on 4 AA batteries and provides enough light to find your coat.Customer Review: Nice light but unreliable motion sensor
Summary: 2 Stars
Light is bright and I like that it uses AA batteries. Seems robust and not an eye sore. I would love the light but the motion sensing is really spotty and more often than not doesn't work. Too bad because it really had a lot of potential.
