5.0 out of 5 stars UPDATED REVIEW - Almost 2 Years Later... STILL Best Nightlights I've Owned
]It has been almost 2 years since my original review and I wanted to update my experience with these night lights. These are, hands down, the best nightlights I've owned. The LEDs in these night lights are STILL going strong and the Dusk/Dawn sensor still works. I have no issues with a noticeable loss of brightness and they still sufficiently light up my home in dim/dark settings. In fact, I love these and the Maxxima LED Night Light With White Lens (Pack Of 2) so much, I just placed another order for them for the upstairs are of my home. Hands down, THE BEST! ]Although I can sleep in complete darkness, I typically don't like to because in the event I wake up in the middle of the night for whatever reason, I like having the ability to see. Also seeing how my wife has stubbed her toe at least twice trying to find her way to the bathroom in the middle of the night, getting a nightlight was a must.I haven't owned an incandescent nightlight in a very long time and LED nightlights were my automatic choice. I do own some cheap ones I got from Walmart a few years ago that came in a 4-pack (for about $12). These nightlights actually work fine (despite having dimmed over time) but I wanted something with better light output and I moved all the Walmart nightlights upstairs for guests.Looking through dozens of LED products on Bolo, I eventually settled for the Maxxima brand due to the assortment and positive reviews but I also wanted to stay within a $12 budget (for two). In the end, I purchased Maxxima MLN-50 5 LED Night Light With Sensor (Pack of 2) and Maxxima LED Night Light With White Lens (Pack Of 2). The reason for two assortments is I wanted the 5 LED version for hallways/kitchen area and the other version for the bedroom/bathroom area.Having owned them for about 10 days, I'm very happy to say that I'm pleased with them. The 5-LED version is cheaper by $1 and outputs an insane amount of light. The fact that the plastic window is clear, they can be "too bright" to those sensitive to light if you look directly at it or are using them in the bedroom. I would say that the light output is equavalent to maybe two or three candles lit and held side-by-side. However if you're a night owl and like leaving at least 1 lamp on at night in your house, these will do you justice and save you $$$ on your electric bill because they are bright enough to light a decent area.The Maxxima LED Night Light With White Lens (Pack Of 2) that we used in the bedroom/bathroom is also bright (brighter than the ones I got at Walmart but nowhere near as bright as the 5-LED)) but the lens is translucent white. By being translucent instead of clear, it diffuses the light to be a "glow" rather than seeing the LED directly. The high/low setting for the LED provides minimal difference (but it's there). To some, this might be too bright (as my wife said) but after about 2 days, she got used to it and can't live without them. After all, who wants stubbed toes?As for color, the 5-LED version is a "cool white" and the Maxxima LED Night Light With White Lens (Pack Of 2) version is between a "cool" & "warm". It's not yellow at all. If you know anything about light color temperature, the "cooler" you get, the more bluish it becomes. And just the opposite, the "warmer" you get, the more "yellow" the light becomes. Some people simply hate "cool white LEDs" and hopefully this helps you decide.Also, the light sensor works just as I would have expected. I can't really tell you how they work, but if there is sufficient light in the room, the nightlights won't turn on. However, if they detect any kind of "darker setting" the LEDs will begin to light up brighter & brighter the darker the room gets. I tested this personally and with the window blinds down, there is some degree of light output (very minimal I might add). To some, some might feel angry because the life of the LED will be reduced by constantly being on but in reality, you're saving $$$ even with the LEDs partially lit vs an incandescent night light AND the life of a typical LED is 50,000 hours. Convert to years, that's approximately 5.7 years (2083 days). Honestly if my nightlights last that long, I have no qualms about buying another for $12 because for a set of two, divided by 2083 days, it will cost me 7 cents a month to run for another 5.7 years.Last but not least, please note that with any LED, no matter how good the quality, they WILL dim over time. LED Lights operate through semiconductors and though they do not get hot to the touch or melt the plastic bulbs they are often placed in, a small amount of heat is released. It is important to understand how this happens. Light is produced because electrons are energized when electricity is introduced to the diodes. These electrons travel from one material to the next, but must dispel their energy before the other material can accept them. It is this expulsion of energy that produces light in the form of photons and a small amount of heat. Over time, usually very long periods of time, the semiconductors will wear out and the lights will begin to dim. They do not burn out in the literal sense, yet they will dim in time. LEDs have a life rating before they die just like incandescents but unlike incandescents, as they reach the end of their life, they will completely dim. Incandescents will just blow out on you.
5.0 out of 5 stars Efficiency + Ambiance + Sleep Aid = Great Value
.7/28/15 UPDATE: Back again to buy our 5th set for a new area. All 4 previously purchased sets continue to work perfectly..7/6/14 UPDATE: We don't understand all the bad reviews (many of the 1 star reviewers only have 1 review!? Draw your own conclusion.). We have three sets of these lights. We bought our first set in October of 2012. All three sets continue to work perfectly. They're great lights. Give them a try. We're back to order our fourth set for a vacation home and want them to still be available someday when we go to reorder again for our grand-kids. If you like them, please speak up. Many Thanks.-----------We first bought these lights in October of 2012. They give off a good amount of light and do it for a scant 0.8 watts. By comparison our old incandescent night lights used nearly 10x as much electricity at 7 watts. We have a set of these amber LEDs positioned at each end of a 20+ foot long hallway and they allow us to walk the hall at night safely and confidently.The light is different and that is good. The amber light gives a warmer night-time ambiance, but is not quite as bright. The amber light looks great with our woodwork and adds a soft, warm glow to our home; think hearth light. That brings us to an added benefit of these particular night lights. They can help you sleep because they block the blue part of the light spectrum.At least that is our experience which is consistent with scientific research that shows that excessive light exposure after dark, particularly from the blue portion of the light spectrum, interferes with sleep and circadian rhythms by interrupting natural melatonin. Intuitively this makes sense, after all, the only light our ancestors had after dark was amber firelight and we love to sit around a fire after dark and relax.The bottom line is that we think these LED night lights are good value, are buying more and recommend them without hesitation to others with the only caveat being that, like so much else these days, they are made in China.-----For those who may not be aware, here's a brief explanation of why these may help us sleep. Our bodies are apparently programmed to release melatonin during the night which helps us sleep. Exposure to light at night makes our brains think it's daytime. As a result, melatonin release is shut down disrupting our daily circadian rhythm and making it difficult to fall asleep. Here's the kicker: the receptors in our eyes that convey the signal to halt melatonin release are particularly sensitive to light in the blue spectrum. So blocking the blue spectrum significantly decreases the effect. So why use white night lights which contain a lot of blue spectrum and burn nearly 10x as much electricity when you can use amber which doesn't contain the blue spectrum and only uses 0.8 watts?
Bueno pero...
Hacen su función, dependiendo de la intensidad de la luz qué hay, es que tan fuerte prenden.Me hubiera gustado que solo cuando está oscuro prendieran pero es un buen producto
