Tools and Hardware Reviews of Feit Electric NL6/LED Theatre-Style Night Light with Sensor
Customer Review: Innovative and looks good
Summary: 4 Stars
Produces a reasonable amount of light that can be directed downwards with the fins so that it illuminates the floor without being blindingly bright when you look directly at it. This is a great choice for lighting a hall or doorway where you don't want to illuminate the whole room. It takes up enough space that it is difficult to use the second outlet for anything other than a small two-prong plug, so this is not a great option if you often need the second outlet for something with a power-brick. It looks good - very much like a theatre-style path-light and is not obtrusive. The sensor turns it on when there is a low light level but there is no on-off switch. Not a big deal as the LED should be using very little power. It does not generate perceptible heat when in use.Customer Review: Brighter than I expected
Summary: 4 Stars
This little guy puts out plenty of light for a short stairway or a small room (I use it in my bathroom). One consideration: the louvers, being white, reflect as much as they direct, so they don't really concentrate the light much in a particular direction. And as another reviewer mentioned, it is a bit large so you can't put a 3 prong plug or a power cube into the adjacent outlet. But most two prong plugs will squeeze in.
Edit: I recently noticed that the light sensor in this unit isn't as sensitive as the similar light I replaced. So be aware that if the place you put it doesn't receive much light during the day, it may not go off in the daytime. This is a very minor issue though because it draws so little power.
Customer Review: Many issues with most of FEIT's night lights! BUYER BEWARE!
Summary: 1 Stars
I have had numerous FEIT lights and have had MANY problems. This night lite seemed like a decent unit, but two of them have died within a year. The dome shaped NL4 has lasted the longest. FEIT seems to be using really cheap LED's or circuitry, both of which can lead to early failure. I would NOT by this unit again or any of their other night lites with clear lenses as they have all had issues. This is not an electrical issue in my home as I have placed some at several relatives home with the same failure rate. I have personally returned the defective units to FEIT's office in CA and rcvd horrible customer service. They told me they would test them and let me know what was wrong, but they NEVER followed up. Buyer beware!Customer Review: Good but not great
Summary: 4 Stars
Pros: Neat looking, energy efficient, good amount of light, light detection switch works well, lifetime warrenty
Cons:
1. There are only 2 leds, not 3 listed in the technical specs
2. Unit is big and will block the second outlet. You will most likely have to unplug unit if you want to use a vaccum cleaner or anything alike.
3. My kid loves to mess with the louvers on the thing.
Overall:
I really like the it. I have only had it for a few days, but it gives my home a uniform lighting look at night. Hopefully they last for awhile.
Customer Review: Poor Quality Control
Summary: 1 Stars
The very first time I removed it to place it in another location the blades that plug into the wall pulled out and stayed stuck in the outlet! Very dangerous! I had to hurry outside to shut off the circuit breaker before anyone might touch the energized metal blades sticking out of the outlet. The blades are supposed to be soldered into the inner circuit board but they both had what are referred to as "cold" solder joints. Very poor QC work during assembly. I don't know how they got a UL approval on this thing. I put it in the trash.
