Tools and Hardware Reviews of Sylvania LED Power Failure Light, 2nd Generation
Customer Review: A bright LED night light, but not without some issues.
Summary: 3 Stars
The Sylvania LED Power Failure light is a compact, stylish product with a bright LED night light and effective emergency flashlight. However, it does have issues regarding the night light sensor that you need to consider.
Pros:
Small and compact. About 5" long x 2 1/8" wide x 9/16" thick
AC plug is not polarized, so it can be plugged into an AC outlet pointing up or down.
Doesn't block the unused AC outlet.
Bright single-LED night light mode. Brighter 3-LED flashlight mode.
Cons:
Prone to flickering in night light mode depending on the brightness in the room, or the shadows you cast on the device as you move around near it. This can be distracting, but may also depend on the location of the light.
Light sensor/photocell circuit can apparently be fooled into not turning on the night light as the room gradually darkens in the evening. Defeats the purpose of a night light.
No user-replaceable batteries.
As other reviewers have commented, this is a stylish and modern-looking LED night light. When the room darkens, a single bright white LED turns on as a night light. If there is a power failure, this single LED flashes on and off (perhaps to conserve battery power?) until you unplug it and use the rubber-covered on/off switch to turn the flashlight mode on or off. In flashlight mode, all three white LED's make for a useful flashlight that lasts for several hours but gradually drops off in intensity.
A frustrating quirk I've observed with the night light sensor, aside from the sometimes distracting flickering, is that I routinely find the LED nightlight is off when I arrive home to a dark kitchen in the evening. In simple terms, it fails to act as a night light.
The night light is plugged in next to the sink, near blind-covered windows. Perhaps the room darkens so gradually that the photocell never turns on the LED night light? If I turn on the room lights and then turn them off, the LED night light will turn on. I've seen the same flaw in both of the lights I purchased.
I've had better luck with the Greenlite 3-in-1 Flashlight Nitelite Emergency Light as a general purpose night light and power failure light. While it doesn't do well as a hand-held flashlight, it works well as an area light during a power failure.

An ordinary nightlight simply offers a bit of comfort in the dark, but what do you so when the power goes out and you lose your nightlight? The 2nd Generation Sylvania LED Power Failure Light does much more, it operates as a standard nightlight and usingLighting Tools
