Tools and Hardware Reviews of Maxxima MLN-09 LED Night Light With Sensor
Customer Review: Ok for low light needs
Summary: 3 Stars
These single LED Night lights do not put out as much light as a 4 watt incandescent bulb. If you just need to light a path to the bathroom it's fine, but if you actually want to be able to see what you're doing, get a multi-LED model.Customer Review: Only 80% last more than one year
Summary: 3 Stars
I have these all over my house. Once they have lasted about 6-9 months they seem to last forever. 10-20% fail in the first few months. My wife does not have good night vision and with roll shutters on the house outside light does not enter the house. She has no problem navigating at night, neither of us is disturbed when the other get up during the night. Better since the newer version does not require polarity and can be mounted without blocking the second outlet on a duplex outlet.Customer Review: Pretty Good.
Summary: 4 Stars
This product is pretty good. The light goes easy on the eyes. Bright but not annoying. The only thing I found wrong that in order for the sensor to turn of the light you need to turn on a light that is BRIGHT.Customer Review: Simple, Nice Blue Glow.
Summary: 5 Stars
Just a simple plug and forget nightlight,
photosensor works, blue color is easy on the eye.
Just right brightness, enough to navigate but won't
make you squint in the middle of the night.
Price is right, I now own 12 of these (big house).
Light hasn't improved much since Edison, but LED's will
change all that (for the better).
Customer Review: Starts off bright then becomes uselessly dim.
Summary: 2 Stars
This LED night light started off working great. It was bright and had a color temperature that compliments natural moon light. I was so impressed that a purchased 2 more. However after about six months I've noticed that the light in the bathroom which ran practically 24/7 was now too dim too be useful, so that night light was thrown away. Then another one simply died for no reason, 2 down. The one I had in the kitchen didn't run as much, but after about a year after installation it too lost most of its brightness and had to be moved to less critical area where it is now simply a decoration.
At a cost of 11 cents per KWH for the cost of this $5.00 night light, I could have run a regular 5 Watt incandescent night light for 9,000 hours. I estimate that Maxxima white LED night lights only last about 4500 hours. The LED night light costs about twice as much to operate as the old regular night lights and only puts out a fraction of the light. (I've got a bunch of surplus white/clear C7 christmas tree bulbs, so in my case the cost of the bulbs are not included in operating costs)
The problem with low life span of the LED is a common one with white LEDs. The LED could be overdriven or is of low quality. Maxxima makes a model of this nightlight with a yellow LED which could possibly meet the stated lifespan, but the light will be monochromatic.
