Tools and Hardware Reviews of Greenlite NL/WH/3/1/CD/1 - LED 3-in-1 Night Light, Emergency Light, & Flashlight - GREAT STOCKING STUFFER!
Customer Review: Worth the Money
Summary: 5 Stars
I initially bought three then ordered five more. I'm very satisfied with all aspects of this light. It doesn't cover the second outlet such that the second outlet is unuseable, but whatever is plugged into the second outlet must be a conservative size plug. As an example, I can still plug in a cell phone charger, a multi-plug outlet, a vacuum cleaner cord, coffee pot, or TV set - any one of these plug in adjacent to this night light.
I'm replacing older emergency lights that use a standard bulb and have quit holding a charge, therefore, excepting their night light function, their usefullness is gone. Those were Walmart clearance items and probably lasted maybe a year - I got what I paid for. I don't know how long the rechargeable battery will last in these new 3-in-1 emergency lights but hopefully more than a year.
As a night light, the light is white rather than the typical yellow of a standard night light bulb and is brighter which some might find annoying if placed in a bedroom. If the power goes off the night light LEDs turn into an emergency flood which really lights up the immediate area. A slide switch on the side converts it from a flood light to a flashlight.
We live in a 2-story home, all bedrooms upstairs, and the safety and security of my family is foremost. This seems to be a good product and assuming it lasts a few years, it is a good investment in our safety.
Customer Review: A Hurricane Season Must
Summary: 5 Stars
Our hurricane planning included emergency lights to replace several that no longer work. I did an extensive "google", and found the best reviews for this light. And for good reason. It is a great night light, which gives it a very practical use when not in "emergency" mode. (I have to add that my wife does not think it is a good night light because it is too "dull". That is why I think it is a great night light, because, in my opinion, it's not glaring! You'll have to arrive at your own opinion, but I feel a night light should give a hint of what you are seeing, and not be a head light.) The flashlight part is very practical. First, in a power failure, it will automatically go on. Secondly, if you need a flashlight, just pull it out of the receptical and flick the switch to "on", and it's a flashlight. Again, it is not going to light up the neighborhood, but you do want it to show you around when you need to find items, such as candles, and the bigger flashlights. I would recommend Greenlite for any home use.Customer Review: finally, a usable led nightlight with a emergency bonus!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been waiting for a long time to have the nightlight and emergency flashlight integrated, so had to try this once I found out about it. I figured, LED based so probably useless like all the other led or green luminscents nightlights, but this one is done *right*. It uses two white led's for the nightlight function, which is plenty bright compared to incandescent nightlights. If power goes out, the two front led's light up full brightness which is great. The flashlight is not so great, has a single led and seems pretty dim. But with the front led's, its not really a big deal.
I've tried many nightlight variants on my kids over the years, so they approached these with significant misgivings. "Dad's playing with his tech toys again". But they like them, my son is somewhat afraid of the dark and he really likes them.
I'd say if your kid needs a 7W bulb, it might not be bright enough. But if you use a 4W bulb, this will do the trick nicely.
Customer Review: Good light for emergency lighting
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're looking for a light to provide minimal lighting during a power failure then this is your light. If you're not familiar with LED lights they will not be confused with their non-LED counterparts but are bright enough to read by or do emergency maintenance in no electricity situations.
It would be nice if the nightlight could be turned off so this only lit up during power failures however it isn't a deal breaker but if you prefer to sleep in the dark don't put this light in the room with you unless you want it off completely and can get to it in the dark.
This light has been our best and longest lasting LED light. The other ones still work but have minor issues that are irritating. This light seems to work as well as the day we've bought it even after 2 years of being continually plugged in and used, we wish we could say that for the Sylvania Power Failure LED Lights we bought at SAM'S Club.
Customer Review: Good product-well worth it.
Summary: 5 Stars
Although I haven't lost power since I bought 2 of these it is reassuring to know they are there in case I need them. The night light portion is a little weak but adequate. The only thing I would like changed is that they plug into the TOP outlet pointing upward. If they were made with the polarization in reverse they could plug into the bottom half of the duplex receptacle making the top plug easy to see and more accessible. In effect if you want to plug something else in along with this device you have to use the bottom plug and the room to do it is limited and hidden from view. I still like the old unpolarized plugs because you could plug them in either way but think this may be a mandatory U.L. requirement these days. This is a good item and worth the investment. I am going to buy 2 more....1 for the bathroom and 1 for another bedroom making the total 4.
