Tools and Hardware Reviews of Maxxima MLN-10 LED Night Light With Sensor
Customer Review: I could not stand the type of light the LED provides
Summary: 1 Stars
I am a bit light sensitive and found the light coming from this nightlight unbearable.
NOTE: I purchased this (many) at my local hardware store. In Southern California, there are HUGE discounted prices for some products by SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON.
I found these for 49c (down from 99c) at Anawalt Lumber. Bought half a dozen, and just couldn't stand the light the led provided. Didn't return them since they were so incredibly cheap.
FYI - SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON (and maybe other power companies around the US) has super cheap prices for low power use lighting sold through regular retail stores, such as Anawalt Lumber (a very small chain of 4 or 5 stores) in Los Angeles.
They have led desk lamps for 49c. I have a bunch and give them out often as gifts. Not great, but for the price ....
Also CFC bulbs for 99c or maybe now down to 49c ...
They also have amazing indoor and outdoor hardwire ceiling fixtures for $3.49 with the bulb included.
All the prices are subsidized by SCE, without have to go through any rebates or anything.
There may be similar promotions around, so keep an eye out if you are looking for amazing lighting deals.

Customer Review: Handy and nicely priced!
Summary: 5 Stars
The functionality to price ratio of this device alone wins this product 5 stars. The quasi-ability to direct the light in a desired direction makes this light even nicer.
Its especially nice so that you can usually eliminate the annoying direct glare of a light source when you are half asleep while walking around at night (thanks kiddos!!!). This feature almost makes it an nice bedroom light.
However, what the picture does not show you is some long openings on the other side of the circular window. These long openings are almost like a cat with really sharp claws had swiped some long gashes out of the other side. So, when I pointed the window down to the ground - thinking that there would not be a direct light source in my eyes at night - there are bands of light that stretch across the ceiling.
The sensor on this one is the fairly responsive. The room it is in has only one window, and the light turns off in the day when the blinds are open.
All in all, a steal of a deal for an LED night light!
Did I mention that it has NO heat, unlike the incandescant things that I burned my fingers on in my youth? Gotta love this technology!
Customer Review: Light Sensor Light Doesn't Work
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought a pkg of three of these a couple years ago or more. The lights all come on when plugged in - no problem. However, I bought them for the light-sensor capability and for that reason I rate them two stars. The light sensor on all of these is so in-sensitive (no adjustments) that they have to practically be in direct sunlight to make the light go out. Everywhere we have tried to use them in the house ... they are on 24 hours a day. We have had them directly across hallways from windows, some about 10' from open storm doors with full outside light. Some models let you twist the sensor so it aims more directly to a good source, but it does little good in most locations.
If you shine a bright flashlight into the sensor, the light will go off. If you put one at a little angle from an outdoor window bright with sunlight, it will not go off. We put it on the end of an extension cord and kept moving it closer to being directly in front of the window and the light would not go out until we were about 10 degrees (maybe 15 degrees) from being directly in front of the window.
Quite simply - Do not buy these if you want them to be off during daylight hours.
Customer Review: Great value in a night light
Summary: 5 Stars
I used Amazon.com's search feature for a night light that uses an LED instead of the conventional incandescent bulb because like all incandescents, they are prone to burning out in a relatively short time. I also liked the idea that LEDs generate far less heat and consume less power than an incandescent bulb.
Amazon.com's search results listed the Maxxima MLN-10 and I ordered four of them. I'm very satisfied with the appearance, quality, features, and light output. I like the adjustability of being able to rotate between the two lenses for light output and also reversing the base when the night light is plugged in to orient the daylight sensor either up or down in the socket for sensitivity. Nice!
The only advertised feature that I think differs slightly from the product description is that the light output has only the slightest bluish tint and is mostly white light. It is still subdued enough so as not to be too bright so this is fine with me.
Customer Review: Works very well - unplug if needed/ easy enuff to do ...Rec. 4-pk
Summary: 5 Stars
Rec'd 4 as Valentine gift - one bath/two kitchen/one den - no more snapping lights on/off when 'raiding fridge' - [and running up elec. bill]
Maxxima MLN-10 LED Night Light with Sensor (Pack of 4)
We do unplug the kitchen ones each daytime when sunny - but not necessary as they do go off as soon as it is light enuff or bath light turned on - but enuff light that one doesn't need to do that now for nightime pit stops.
Limited outlets in kitchen for appliance use is the another reason 2 in kitchen get unplugged. They set on flat-light surface and also when in place - another unit can be plugged in.
I recommend these for seniors in particular - and the 'swivel' function is great -
