We bought this light after the birth of our baby. We use it in our own room so that we can see as we navigate to the bassinet when he wakes up crying. It replaced an older nightlight we had using a normal candescent light with a switch.

Pros:

- Seems green friendly as a result of the photosensor and the LED lights

- Easy to use - we plugged it into an outlet with a clear view of the room (so that shadows don't block the photosensor), and it does the rest


Cons

- It produces less light than the one it replaced, as others have mentioned. However, it is not to a point for us that we can't see. So we don't find this to be a pressing issue

- During dusk, or if you place the light in an area with a shadow, it turns on "half way" so that you have small amounts of light. This doesn't seem energy efficient, though we're probably talking about pennies per month in real dollar terms.

We got this for our nursery which has green walls. The light is simply not bright enough. Perhaps if our walls were light-colored it would actually serve its purpose. The package also says "cool white light" but the light is actually orange. The base of the light is white, the cover is clear and overall it is reminiscent of a parking light on a car. I am planning on returning this to the store I got it from.

I bought 2 of these, one for the kids bedroom and another for the bathroom because our little one can't reach the light switch.

This night light has an ambient sensor and automatically adjusts to surrounding light levels. It's also LED based so it runs cool and poses no fire hazard.

Note that it is not very bright and that the brightness cannot be adjusted. But it's bright enough to do what it's intended for.

I had this in my son's room soon after he was born for almost two years now. Love it! It turns on/off automatically, so I don't need to touch it at all. It has soft light, perfect when the baby sleeps at night - not too disturbing and enough for me to check on the baby. It's flatter than other nightlights I got and feels more secure on the wall. My son has never run into it or tried to pull it out.

I plan to get another one for my second baby.

I purchased these even after I read the reviews. They are great!!! They give off enought light so I can see where I'm going but not too much light that its another light! They have good saftey features for the kids (mine is crawling) but the only complaint is my daughter can pull it out of the socket. I recommend the night lights! I bought 4 of them!! 1 for each bath room, 1 for the nursery and 1 for the hallway! They do the job just fine!!!!!

I bought this thinking my 19 month old son would be unable to remove it from the wall. It being American Red Cross, I figured it would be toddler safe...I was wrong. Every morning I come in to find this on the floor because he's pulled it out of the wall. There is absolutely no difference between this and a regular night light. In fact, this is worse! The actual light is HORRIBLE! I have no idea what color-blind fool decided to label this as having a 'soft white light', but it's a very creepy yellow/orange light, and if your child has a good size room, it won't light the whole thing. I keep this on a wall just by the door, and it BARLY reaches the bed across the room. Don't get me wrong, I don't want a spotlight in there, but I do want to be able to see where I'm going if I go in to change his diaper at night, or bring him some juice. I definitely recommend looking elsewhere. I think I'm just gonna go with the light that screws into the outlet plate...the one I SHOULD have gone with from the beginning.
