Maxxima LED Night Light/Emergency Light/Flashlight

by Maxxima

Product Description

Experience the Maxxima MLN-20 LED Night Light with built in power failure emergency flashlight. This light has a built in rechargeable emergency light, which will automatically go on at the bottom of the light in the event of a power failure. This light is so smart that you can use it at any time as a Night Light, Flashlight, or Emergency Light. Should you wish to use this as a flashlight you can simply remove it from the plug and the flashlight mode will automatically turn on for you to use around the house. When finished you can plug the light back in and it will turn off the flashlight and go back to Night Light mode which will only activate the light in darkness. Of course you can switch the light into the off position when you do not require any light.

5.0 out of 5 stars Multi-tasking Night Light, April 1, 2008

The Maxxima MLN-20 LED night light is one smart little device. It really serves three functions in one; here is the rundown:

The night light contains only LEDs, light emitting diodes, so it uses very little energy (and does not contain Mercury). The night light is light-sensing so it is not on during the day or when other lights are on. The panel over the LED is frosted so the LED is not piercingly bright.

The night light must contain an internal battery because if the power goes off, another LED on the bottom of the night light provides floor level lighting - this would be great during an emergency.

The kicker is that the entire unit can be easily unplugged and then used as a miniature flashlight. The cover on the bottom LED is not frosted, so the flashlight has a pretty good directional range.

There is an easy-to-access switch on the side of this device with the option to turn the device off entirely, turn off the night light function (so only the floor lighting would come on during a power loss) or turn on all the functionality.

The only con I can see for this product is that it blocks both outlets when you plug it in. There is definitely enough clearance over the unused outlet to access it by using a low profile "flat plug." A flat plug is low profile where it goes into the wall (i.e. it doesn't stick up and usually makes a sharp turn.)

Overall the Maxxima MLN-20 LED night light is an economical and practical small electronic device for the home that should appeal to your inner geek.

1.0 out of 5 stars second dud, January 3, 2010

I bought this light in Nov 09, it didn't work right out of the package. I wrote a review saying just that. I was contacted by the company and asked if I would accept a new one, and also if the new one was good to please remove the bad review if i wanted to. Well, the new one arrived and it seemed to work. That is until we had a power failure, or...just when I needed it! This one did the same thing as the other one. The red light is on indicating that it is charging, but when the power goes out, the emergency light does not come on. Another dud! I have since purchased a different brand and all work fine. I'm sorry, but this is just an inferior product.

I recently became obsessed with installing emergency power failure flashlight all over the house. I have three different types, all of which operate with an "off" position option so no light emits unless it is unplugged from the wall or the power fails. This is by far the most disappointing and lowest level of light of the brands I've tried. I would return it if I could without losing my shipping costs both ways.

The best power failure light I've found so far is the Durofix Emergency Standby Plug-in High-Efficiency LED Light. Super high quality, most modern/seamless looking, and FANTASTIC led light output. You can get them here on Amazon or save and get the two-pack at Costco for twenty bucks. ;) I won't buy any other brand now that I've found them.

Second best would be the Energizer Weather Ready Compact Rechargeable LED Light, a decent quality led output but less sleek looking product. I use these in my children's rooms since they most resemble hand-held flashlights and are easy to remove from the wall in a moment's notice. Ideally, have a few of these at higher levels to use as actual flashlights but light the walkway and living areas with the Durofix which are nice and bright - I plan to purchase several of each for grandparents for this purpose. :)

Hope this helps someone - again all three of these products DO have the feature to turn the light to an "off" position so it only comes on during power failure or when removed from the outlet. For some reason I had a hard time finding this information quickly and easily in the product descriptions and it was my most important criteria.
