Very bright white. Electric

We ordered 10 pieces. I love this concept and I'm glad we have several of these. However, they are very bright and cannot be dimmed or switched off, which is a shame. You cannot use them with GFI plugs, which precludes bathroom use. They didn't want to lay flat on some of our old forks, so they aren't completely flush in some places. But they are great for corridors and outlets near stairs.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Disappear

Really disappointed

Installation was easy and they looked good. The BIG problem, however, was that in order to turn off these overlays, you had to have your seat in full light. I'm in a townhouse and there are 5 windows downstairs, the sun can shine but they stay on. At first I thought I could live with it but then I decided after buying 14 for over $200.00 it didn't make much sense so I returned them. Please know the landscape of your house.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Does not work with spring sockets

Good idea but not compatible with most household sockets. Almost all sockets used in construction are spring type. The electrician strips the wire and slides it in. It's very fast. Screw interchangeable sockets, where the cores are held by screws. This socket cover is only compatible with screw sockets. I contacted the company and they said I could either return the covers or have my outlets replaced.

Pros
  • Excellent general specifications
Cons
  • Some nuances

Love these night lights!

Overall these night lights were easy to install. However, 2 of my sockets did not align properly with the metal contact strips. And since the bars don't move, I couldn't use them on these outlets. But other than that it worked, they are amazing, just enough light to keep you from stumbling in the dark but not so much that it doesn't disturb your sleep. I put them in bedrooms, hallways and bathrooms. I use them for vacation rentals for security reasons and because they are bolted on they are…

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Not sure

Doesn't work for me.

I don't quite understand why but I could never get it to glow. I bought a pack of ten. I pulled one out and plugged it into an outlet connected to a regular working night light - nothing, even with the photo eye closed. Same results on the next two outlets I tried. Caught another one out of ten, tried 3 sockets with the same result - nothing. I have standard duplex outlets with electrical pins in the middle and no obstruction. I have read the manual. I watched the video. Unless there is a…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Nothing

No more knocking on plug in night lights

I've seen them since they first came out and wanted them for the house. Now that we've had another baby and didn't want to bother with her pulling lightbulbs out of sockets, we ordered a set of these tracks and installed them in bedrooms and throughout the house. It's very nice to have automatic lights and night lights for kids. I was immediately struck by how cleanly the tub wall was cut/trimmed around the outlet boxes when they were installed. I had to carry a utility knife with me as I went…

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Easy to maintain

Stronger Than Fakes

I bought the cheaper universal version first and although the bulbs work well with it, there is actually a difference in the quality of the actual socket cover (this cover is much thicker and the Westek cover flexes where it does is screwed in). Place). I was under the impression that I could reverse the direction and install them upside down so they shine up or down, but that wasn't the case in my house. They work great in the down position, but don't work at all upside down (same goes for…

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Addition to my negative review

In the end they work. The problem is that all of my outlets are grounded, not downstairs like most homes. There are two solutions to this problem: 1) Install the Snap Power Guidelight so that the LEDs are on the UP so they shine upward, OR 2) Remove the base mounting screws and rotate the base 180 degrees so that the Ground rests on the underside (after switching on, of course, turn off on the circuit board). I chose the second option because I wanted the LEDs to shine down and illuminate the…

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Some difficulties
