Beacon of light
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This night light is great It is quite bright and perfect for a hallway. It is motion sensored so it's a bit shocking at first, but I am growing accustomed to it now. If you're looking to light up a large area this is perfect for you.

    I've purchased two of these and neither worked; the first one would not turn off in low light (motion sensor did not work) and the second just stayed lit all the time, even in bright light. If these once were good quality, they aren't any more.

      Provides plenty of light, blends in with the wall (when off), and have had no problems with it coming on with motion or going off whether the hallway is dark or bright. Wish it had a wider angle of motion detection ... head on OJ ... side approach limited by the angle

      This is perfect for the bathroom!
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We put this in our guest bathroom - which we actually use the most. In the morning, we used to have to fumble to turn on the lights - but not anymore. This gives the perfect amount of light to move around at night and easily find the light switch if you want more life.

        Super Bright Light
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this product last week and its already becoming one of my favorite guiding lights in the house whenever I wake up in the middle of the night. The light from this product is super bright and lights up hallways well enough to not have to worry about not seeing something and tripping or slipping on it. The only complaint I do have about this light is that sometimes if left plugged in, it will turn on even in situations when other lights are turned on nearby. Other than that the motion detector is great and hasn't failed to pick up any movement I've made as well as having a great bright light to match!

          Works as described. Placed in my daughters' bathroom for nighttime use. Works as expected. Actually brighter than anticipated; plenty of light to see but not nearly as bright as the overhead lights. Satisfied with the product; would buy again if needed for another location.

          This is the replacement for the old always on night light. This one detects motion from 20 ft away and give bright light for the walkway and automatically turns off the light after 90 sec when no motion is detected in that area. Love the product.

          This Motion Activated LED Night Light has been working well. It is the brightest among the three I bought (1.5, 0.9 and 0.5W). I like both this one and the 0.9W; they both stay lit 90sec and can detect beyond 20 feet. The 0.5W is okay but not so bright; this one would get a four star because I would not like to use it when someone visits and don't know my place.

            These are GREAT! They are much brighter than the average night light. If you want a LOT of light in a night light, these will do it. I use these in dark areas that I don't use after bedtime, such as entry hallways.

            Have used this product about one month. Very satisfied with the brightness of it, as I don't need to turn the overhead lighting on when using the bathroom. Like that it is motion activated.

            Poor Durability!
            I purchased this motion activated LED night light 10 months ago and it worked fine till now. At night it should only come on when it detects motion in its range and then go off after 90 seconds of no motion detection. Now at night it will stay on without any motion detection and at the 90 second intervals it will blink as if it wants to turn off as no motion has been detected within its range but it stays on...the blinking every 90 seconds is very annoying along with the staying on. So don't purchase this if you want it for the motion detection feature. Purchase item #203766660 which I purchased at the same time as this night light, and it is still working the way it is supposed to work with respect to motion detection.

              Excellent Light for Stairs
              Purchased two motion-activated LED night lights for stairwells which have dark wood treads and can be difficult to navigate. This brand/style is the best I found to improve the safety of both stairwells. The light is of adequate brightness (not too dim, not too bright), comes on when triggered by motion at about 6 feet away and stays on for about 2 minutes. The unit is larger than many night lights however, it only uses one plug in a duplex outlet and leaves enough space to use the second plug for something else. My husband likes them too. Moreover, Home Depot's price was better than I found at local stores and online. Awesome purchase! Highly recommended.

              Good light
              Placed in garage. Works fine but not enough light. I look at the specifications and purchased this item as it had higher numbers than others...still not enough. OK for hallway or room though.

              Bright and effective
              Using it in the garage. Very good light. Performs as expected. I would still like to find a brighter one.

                Great white light
                It's small but well constructed and very white. The best feature is that it stays on for a long time and you are not left in the dark. The sensor is also spot on. Home Depot has it at the best price online at this time.
