I have 5 Feit Eternalite LED night lights, and they are superb. Not hot to the touch, negligible electricity useage, they last forever, and they turn on-and-off automatically. But for some strange reason they put an opaque, milk glass type of shade over the light on this model, #NL4/LED. My other 4 Feit units are a different model number and have a clear cover; those have the same number of LEDs but they project 5 times the light because of the different shade cover. By the way, the unit is sealed so you cannot change the shade. So be sure you get one with a clear shade if you want the full amount of light. The one I like best also has a swivel-neck so you can direct the light in any direction. That one is also sold under the brand name Greenlite, model T4.

I bought three of these. They work great and they are very sleek against the wall. Some of the other LED night lights really stand out. I recommend it. It has the milky glass but it puts out plenty of light.

This night lite is great, perfect even. Some people have complained about it not being bright enough. Well, for me it's perfect, I didn't want one that was too bright. When it's dark, this little guy gives off a nice glow that allows me to see fine, and it's a beautiful clean illumination.

Good:
- The light looks very pretty and blends in well with its smooth lines.

Bad:
- The light is not very bright, especially compared to other 4 x LED lights that are much brighter.
- The light is overly sensitive for darkness and only switches off when the light shining on the sensor is very bright. I tried placing the light in several rooms and it always stayed on during the day or when the lights were on. Unless the sun is shining directly into the room, or the room lights directly shine on the light sensor, this light ever turns off.

This light is dim, which is exactly what I wanted. It doesn't disturb me from across a large room while I sleep yet is bright enough that I can make my way through the room with relative ease AFTER my eyes have adjusted for a minute to the dark. To me, that is exactly what a night light should be.

I recently tried it in the bathroom and found it to be perfect for that setting as well. It wasn't so bright that my eyes would adjust in the middle of the night (important so I can fall asleep again quickly) but bright enough that I have no trouble navigating. I even took a shower with only this light on when I had a migraine and had no trouble seeing after my eyes adjusted.

I almost removed one star for the crappy sensor; the light is basically on 24 hours a day unless it is a bright light. Since it takes almost no energy (probably of less cost over 10 years than the cost saved from an improved sensor), this really isn't a bother.

Cost of light + energy for 10 years: about five bucks + about two-fifty. I love this light and intend to buy one more (when Amazon restocks so I can again get free shipping).

This isn't as bright as I want, (trying to light a kitchen to a bathroom), and although the kitchen is not "super bright" during the day, it shouldn't make this thing stay on. If the sensor is that crappy, they should put a timer on this thing or something. I'm disappointed.

It's a nice little light but it didn't output enough light for my needs. I don't understand why they would use three LEDs but dim it so much with the cover. You could get by with one and use a less opaque but milky cover. You can remove the cover by unscrewing the back two screws then twist it out. It's not easy but only took about 30 seconds. Then glued a piece of clear plastic cause I wanted to use it in the bathroom and not get water in it. Why bother? I couldn't find the clear cover one, already paid $7 for it and would cost $5 to return it. With the cover, it dimly lit 3-5 feet. Now it shines about 12-14 feet.

They do give off a purple hue but are perfect for what I needed them for (one to light up area near baby's crib and one for living room by the stairs). They are motion activated which is a nice feature. Very happy with them. Would recommend.

These are very nice and bright night lights, they put out a decent amount of white bright light (LED). However I have noticed that the lights do not shut off unless there is a bright light on in the room, ambient light from windows may not be enough depending on how much light reaches the night light. Overall very good night light and I may pick up more.

I've installed these in my bathrooms, in the kitchen, in the dining room and any place I might wander in the house at night so that I can make a quick errand into another room without needing to turn on the overhead light. If I'll be in the room for a prolonged period of time, of course I need the light, but if I just need to get a game out of the closet of the spare room, it's great not to have to waste the electricity of turning on an overhead light. These are great and priced right. At 25 cents a year operating cost for electricity, you can't go wrong with these nightlights.
