Tools and Hardware Reviews of Feit Electric NL5/LED Rotating Night Light with SensorCustomer Review: What I received was not as shown, but still pleased with purchase Summary: 4 Stars
I ordered this product from Amazon, thinking I'd get the night light depicted in their ad. What I received was different...looks like this instead: http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/31Fu9zWxveL._AA160_.jpg
However, the description on the website fits, so I think it is just an incorrect picture. Nevertheless, I was pleased with the "#NL5" I received. The wall plug is on a commutator that allows you to rotate the light at a 360 degree angle parallel to the wall and the diffractor casing also rotates 360 degrees and one side is opaque, so that you can direct the light. The 3 LEDs are quite bright, so I found it helps to have the opaque side facing the front, making it a little easier on the eyes. However, if you need more light, you can angle the translucent side towards the ground while the opaque side shields the harsh light from your eyes at night.
Note that as is the case with all LED lights, they lose about 1/3 of their initial brightness after about a month of use, after which the output stays roughly constant for the remaining 50-100,000 hours of their life. Having the adjustable beam angle makes it easy to make adjustments after the initial brightness fades.
This light has a photocell which turns the light on and off and will even dim the light depending on the ambient light. However, I find Feit's dimmers a little insensitive. As is the case with the Theatre-style #NL6, these lights tend to remain lit when there is ample ambient light, but at least they are always on when you need them. The downside is that the lights may use more electric & burn out sooner than anticipated because they're often on when you don't need them.
Because of those minor quirks, I can only give this light 4 stars - but I certainly recommend it. Since I have switched to all CFL lighting in my house, these little night lights have helped by replacing the need to switch on the CFL in the middle of the night for less than a minute at a time. That will probably add months and years of life to my CFL bulbs, as CFL are sensitive to being used for less than 10 minutes at a time.
