Produces a reasonable amount of light that can be directed downwards with the fins so that it illuminates the floor without being blindingly bright when you look directly at it. This is a great choice for lighting a hall or doorway where you don't want to illuminate the whole room. It takes up enough space that it is difficult to use the second outlet for anything other than a small two-prong plug, so this is not a great option if you often need the second outlet for something with a power-brick. It looks good - very much like a theatre-style path-light and is not obtrusive. The sensor turns it on when there is a low light level but there is no on-off switch. Not a big deal as the LED should be using very little power. It does not generate perceptible heat when in use.

Of course, it's not supposed to be that bright, being a night light, but what I'm talking about is just the design and performance here.

First, I got two of these along with six other nightlights of a different design in a bulk "8 pack" for way way less than buying one individually, so please do yourself a favor and shop around for other ways this manufacturer packages their nightlights.

Second, the sensor is supposed to turn them off when your overhead lights are turned on, but neither of my theatre style lights turn off automatically. One even has two sixty watt bulbs burning about nine feet right above it, and it says on. A different design from the same manufacturer turns on and off perfectly in relationship to the indoor lighting.

The only way to get the theatre style to turn off is to shine a flashlight directly in the light sensor. So, well see about the 50,000 hours if my theatre lights stay on for five and a half years straight, because they never turn off.

Finally, these are just tall enough so that if I plug them directly into my wall outlet in the top plug, they render the bottom useless, and if I plug them into the bottom plug, they make it impossible to plug a three-prong plug into the top plug.

So, maybe some engineers need to get out of the theatre and do some redesign work here. At least I only paid about two dollars each for mine, and they do look neat when they're on, which is all the time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but not great, March 10, 2008

Pros: Neat looking, energy efficient, good amount of light, light detection switch works well, lifetime warrenty
Cons:
1. There are only 2 leds, not 3 listed in the technical specs
2. Unit is big and will block the second outlet. You will most likely have to unplug unit if you want to use a vaccum cleaner or anything alike.
3. My kid loves to mess with the louvers on the thing.
Overall:
I really like the it. I have only had it for a few days, but it gives my home a uniform lighting look at night. Hopefully they last for awhile.
