 Takes up two outlets, goes on when no motion madeOct 14, 2011
By MariaSmiles
I have this, and two other motion detection LED night lights, and three different light-detection LED nightlights. All six are different. This is my middle favorite.
PROS:
- LED (saves, energy, money, and does not get hot)
- Bright enough, but not overly bright
- motion detection (on when you move)*
- not completely utilitarian-looking, somewhat decorative
- not distractingly fancy, while also not being "cheap" looking
CONS:
- takes up the space of two electrical outlets (plug into one, unit needlessly blocks both) {I do have an LED that is designed to cover whole outlet wall plate and looks really cool, this is not that type of design. If they had shortened the skinny part just a little bit, the other outlet would still have been able to be accessible.}
- *turns on when there's no motion (often - it's creepy)
- light a little "cooler" than I prefer (and cooler/bluer than my other LEDs)
- no light "direction", just illuminates surrounding area (not bad, but can be if you want light to only light the floor, etc.)
I do prefer my other motion detection LED night lights, but if they were not available, this would do, as well. The PROs are more important to me than the CONs.
I rely on reviews here at Amazon to help me make informed buying choices. I hope this review has helped you in the same manner. If you voted this as helpful, I Thank You! :)

 Best motion detection light I have come across, for the priceJun 11, 2011
By ReView*
I saw this first at a friend's place, and liked the looks and the soft glow that it emitted. And I thought that it did a great job on motion detection too.I was looking for a nightlight and I was sold. I bought it on Amazon through Ace Hardware, and the buying process was smooth.
While I was 'looking' for night lights, I saw a lot of 'always on' or dusk-to-dawn lights. Well, with ghost powerloss, always on didn't make sense, and I wasnt really looking for the dusk to dawn (most of which had a harsh incandescent bulb). I turned towards motion sensor (that's when I saw this at a friend's). The motion detection is awesome, it is plugged in at the far end of the room and when I walk into the room, as I near the door, it turns on. This is about 20'. And the angle of detection is good too. My bed is at 45 degrees angle to the location of the light and when I get out of bed, it comes on. My bed is raised, and movement in bed does not trigger it. Unlike some others, I have not had a problem with it not detecting room light. When the room light is on and I walk around, it stays off-until my shadow comes in line, when it turns on. It makes sense to me.
I just have one beef with it. Occasionally at night, when my ceiling fan is on, it would randomly come on and turn off soon. It stopped when I turned off the fan. While it could not have been motion of the fan itself, I think it could be the movement of bed skirt that is in its line of sight. I haven't tested it yet. It is not a design flaw, but I have to do something about it.
I recommend this product. Good buy and I have been a happy customer for quite some time now (cant remember, 6 months around).

 Performs as advertised... mostlyJan 13, 2011
By OkieGirl
I bought this night light at my local orange-lable home improvement store, and have had it plugged in for about 24 hours.
The features that attracted me to this light are the motion activation and the daylight sensor. I am, over all, pretty pleased with the motion activation. But I am disappointed in the "daylight sensor." Most light-sensing night lights I have had in past did not light up when the overhead light was turned on. This one does light up with the overhead light on. I'm wondering if it really does have to sense DAYLIGHT to keep from turning on.
My husband wakes up in the middle of the night sometimes, and will turn on a light so he can walk through the bedroom without running into things. Sometimes he is too sleepy to remember or care to turn off the lights when he comes back to bed. This night light prevented that whole scenario last night, as he did not have to turn on any lights to find his way through the room. And for that reason I am glad I bought this night light.
If the night-light's designers are taking requests, then I'd like to see this type of night light have a more directional capacity, such as pointing downward toward the floor. Having light color options would be nice, too, like red, for avoiding night-blindness.

In service for two years and still working greatMar 16, 2012
By NLee the Engineer
I bought this Amerelle 73092CC Motion Activated Geometric Decorative Nite Lite from a local hardware store exactly two years ago (just checked the purchase date I wrote on the back of the unit). The unit is plugged into a wall outlet in my living room, and it has been working just fine during this period. Contrary to what one spotlight review claims, my unit does NOT block both AC sockets when I plug it into the top slot.
The night light is activated by a passive infrared sensor. It is quite sensitive and the detection angle is relatively wide. Basically, anything that moves within 10-12 ft in front of the sensor will turn on the two LEDs. The light then turns off after ~60 seconds if no further movement is detected. Note that the night light does not turn on during daytime - as long as it is bright enough in the room.
I really like the light generated by the two LEDs. It is warm white and well diffused. This illumination is gentle on the eyes even when the light first comes on in darkness. It is much better than the harsh blue light generated by most other LED night lights.
I tried to use my P3 International P4460 Kill A Watt EZ Electricity Usage Monitor to measure the power consumption of this unit, but it always show '0 watt' even when the LEDs are on. That means this night light consumes less than 1 watt. So I can estimate the electricity cost for operating this light to be under $1 per year. This is much cheaper than using a 4W incandescent night light, plus I never have to replace burnt out bulbs.
All in all, I'm very happy with this motion-activated night light.

Favorite motion detector "night" lightSep 04, 2010
By N. Snook
"turn off the TV and think for yourself"
---------------------------------------------------------------
REVIEW FROM 2010:
This motion detector light has everything it is supposed to:
1) It is a light (and nicely bright)
2) It comes on when there is motion (it turns on very quickly when you come in the room)
3) It has lasted 3 years without failing
I have this and another motion detector light that is now discontinued. I was looking to buy a few more and realized there werent any reviews.
I'll never understand why anyone uses an "always on" light over these, they are awesome.
---------------------------------------------------------------
REVIEW UPDATE 5/2012:
One of the lights I purchased started randomly turning on at times. It still detects when someone is there as well, but it may be oversensitive.
No regrets still though, the family loves having lights in the hall, bathroom, kitchen for at night. It is actually nice to get a glass of water or something and not have to turn on a light.
