but rather small potatoes

What's the point? This is nothing more than a very bright night light that will not go out in the event of a power failure or disconnection from the mains. Yes when the power is cut off the bulb at the other end glows and has a cone shaped reflector so you can now cast a beam of light but a rather small potato. The switch gives you three options: turn the device off completely, use it as an always-on flashlight, or let it work as described above. If you want a blackout light that doesn't light up the room all night, but something else. And the pins for the device are halfway back, so it occupies a full-duplex outlet - you can't plug anything else into it. Of course, you can plug it into a three-socket T-adapter and tether a few cables behind it, but you've lost the socket for purposes like a carbon monoxide alarm or motion sensor.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
