A great functional device for us old timers. Not sure why the review rating is calling it a "toy" but maybe it is for some. Since I purchased and set it up I have yet to change the batteries. It has worked every time and has been great for me at night. I use it for my water glass and so far spilling a little water on it hasn't hurt. Great product.

I love this product. It is great when I get up in the middle of the night or when I am searching for my glasses or water glass. It makes a great gift. I gave one to all my family at Christmas.

I bought this for my Husband 2 years ago and it's STILL kickin'! He has a habit of knocking over his water in the middle of the night while reaching for it. It's motion sensored which helps a TON! It's about 7" long and 4" wide so it's very compact. Great purchase and I may get more for other family members!

I always keep a glass of water on my nightstand. After knocking over the glass a few times, I ran across this and absolutely love it! The only comment I have is that the sensor to turn on the light may be a little too sensitive although this isn't really a problem either as the light is very soft and not enough to annoy you - only enough for you to find your water, glasses, or lamp switch. It would go on if I turned over in bed but this was a simple fix as all I did was put the device behind the book I also keep on my nightstand. Just a book laying on its side does the trick, and now to turn turn it on all I do is put my hand out past the book, and viola, on it goes. Then it goes off in just the right amount of time. I love this device.

I was given this as a Christmas present. I like to sleep in a very dark room, and it is nice to have a minimal amount of light when I get up in the night. I do not have it sitting right next to the bed, but rather on a dresser. When I get out of bed and stand, it comes on. Not a startling light, just a glow. I've had it now for 2 months and the batteries are still strong. It does not go off and on by itself, and though I didn't buy it here on Amazon myself, it clearly states that batteries are not included. For me, it's a good idea, and it works well.

Update 3/21/11 I still love this device, and a year has passed since my first review -- the batteries have not been replaced.

We have two in our bedroom, now over two years old on original batteries- one at the doorway so my husband doesn't need to turn on a light when he comes in later, and one by the bed so he can take his nighttime meds. It used to bother us when it turned on when he rolled over in the middle of the night, but then we moved it a little and it took care of the problem. Love 'em. Bought one for my aging parents.

This product is not as nice as it looks in the picture. It works okay, but does not illuminate much when activated.

I bought this for my husband who was always up and down all night, and he was annoyed that everytime he rolled over it turned on. I moved it to the lower shelf of his nightstand and it's perfect! It goes on when he steps out of bed and lights the way to the bathroom. I definitely think it was worth the money.

This is a nice gift to give to someone that has everything...my husband ended up using it as a coaster when first set of batteries died, so it ends up being a little overpriced for a coaster. that said, is a great coaster to have in your room so you can take care of your furniture. Big and confortable, he uses it every single day.

This product is advertised as a nite coaster. However it is for eye glasses. Infact it says do not put liquids near it. I have decided to try to make it work as a coaster anyway. I have tried this with a clear glass and a colored one. The clear one is the only one that works. The sensor is very sensitive. This did come with batteries.
It's a great idea. I'm keeping it.
