Review on 4 Pack SnapPower GuideLight 2 Outlet Night Light - Automatic On/Off Sensor [Standard Decor, Not GFCI] - Wall Plate LED Lights (Light Almond) by Blake Pudic

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Worth Getting. Needs Improvements.

PRO1. Good substitute for a nightlight.2. Doesn't take up a socket.3. Installs in less than a minute. If you can use a screwdriver at all, just DIY.CON1. The dimmer sensor doesn't work unless you light it up directly with a flashlight. (Tested this on two of them.) Our hall lights didn't make it dim even a smidgen.2. Make sure the electrical box for your socket is set even or slightly behind the drywall. Otherwise the gadget will not be flush with the wall.3. The lights are a VERY harsh light. If you get up in the middle of the night, they WILL hurt dark-adapted eyes. FYI: My wife fixed this glitch by "painting" over the lights with a red sharpie pen, creating a nice warm glow and dimming the output down from "Yipe!" to "Reasonable."Overall, I'll get more of them when they get a sensor that shuts the lights off when ordinary room lights are on. I'd also like to see some way to adjust the brightness down to my chosen level. Getting warmer color LEDs (or putting filters over the lights to create one) would be a big bonus selling point.

Pros
