Not a bad product for the price. Works as advertised. I have two small nits: the light cell that's supposed to turn it off automatically is not very sensitive so it stays on most of the time regardless of the ambient light level; the unit can be plugged in with the light cell facing up or down. It would be nice if it was foolproof and always faced up.

The product is sufficiently bright for a nightlight. The light is directable, durable and uses little electricity.

As the other reviewers have stated, the item you receive does not look like this picture. The packaging it comes in does not state "bright", and the light is not in fact very bright. I got a better looking, brighter photocell night light at the dollar store for, you guessed it, $1. Don't waste 8 bucks.

--American Lighting Directional LED Night Light--

PROS: it's one of the better nightlights aesthetically, and it gives off a reasonable glow when it senses darkness.

CONS: beware--like another reviewer, I received a light that looks totally different from the half-circular light pictured! The light I received is squared, and not as nice-looking at the image posted here. I was also disappointed that it's just not very bright--it's reasonable, but it's not quite enough to help you find your way in a larger, dark area. You might look to something with more LEDs as a brighter light--this light has only one, as I can see. The glow is sterile "meat locker" white, as are most LED lights. When the lights are on but somewhat low, this nightlight isn't sensitive enough to recognize that and stays on. Really it's just a very average, standard/inexpensive looking, no-frills nightlight that has none of the qualities I've read other reviewers extolling about OTHER nightlights. I'm disappointed.

The item I received does not look the photo shown (of a circular, half-clear light) but it is labelled as NL-09. What I received is a rectangular body, with a rectangular-shaped glass window through which the light shines (like a square car headlight), which rotates 360 degrees on a circular lower base that plugs into the socket.

The base is large enough that it obstructs two sockets on a duplex outlet. The metal prongs are unpolarized so you can turn it upside down.

The color of the light is not really white, but rather a cold blue-ish white. Dare I say it, like a meat refrigerator (or a morgue-- sorry for the metaphor, but...)

Not appropriate for a bedroom, the light's too cold. Maybe a hallway where you don't spend a lot of time.
