Complete the Look: Shop radiant Night Light Outlets

We bought two of these to add some night lighting to a dark back staircase. On the "medium" light setting they put out more than enough light for this purpose and we're pleased with the purchase. Notes: - The color of the light is cooler, more like a 4k LED than an incandescent - The unit has a sensor so the light will come on automatically when it gets dark (unless the unit has been manually set to "off") - The units have different light settings including "off", "ultra low", "low", "medium" and "high", which are manually changed by pressing the face of the light - These come with two different "covers" for the light; one clear plastic piece and a "grill" fixed louvers that face down. They are easily switched by sliding one off and sliding the other on. - These say "tamper resistant", which to me sometimes means 'impossible to insert a plug' but I have not found them to be difficult at all Pros: - Easy to install and well made - Sleek addition of auto-on, auto-off night lighting without loss of outlets - Adjustable brightness is a nice feature - Definitely more than enough light to see your way in the dark Cons: - If you're looking for a warm color light, you may not be pleased with these. There appears to be an "amber" version that may be more suitable as a nightlight: https://www.amazon.com/Legrand-Seymour-radiant-NTL885TRAMBERW-Outlets/dp/B07FMTJ8B2/ref=sr_1_2?th=1 - The "grill" cover doesn't do much to direct the light, and light bleeds around the outside of it (photo attached) so I didn't find it to be a good looking option.

Perfect replacement for a standard plugs. We've got them in a long hallway to help illuminate the way, one across from the hall bath. With 3 different light settings and a louver you can install the light intensity is easy to change or turn off.

I’m very pleased with these. The brightness is highly adjustable for different applications. Provides a nice clean look as opposed to having a night light plugged in, and they’re very well built. These may not work well in locations where there will constantly be things plugged into them, but that should be obvious.

All I wanted was a simple outlet with a built in light, with no options aside "press to activate," and that's what this is. This is a standard outlet and gets installed as such. The center piece features a pure glass rectangle - simply press on it 4x to toggle between the 4 brightness levels, and once more to turn it off. I've found that the first 3 toggles aren't of any use, but the 4th one is just right. It's not as bright as my plug-in night light was, but that's a good thing - this is more of a soft white glow rather than something glaring that will bother you in the middle of the night. Overall, a perfect purchase, would get one for every bathroom and bedroom for sure. My only criticism - I wish there could be a way to have the light be a simple on/off toggle with the brightest mode (eliminate the other 3 dimmer light settings), and the off mode. It's a slight annoyance to have to press it 3x more. However...you can leave the light on persistently. Once sunlight fills the room or if you turn the ceiling light on, this light will automatically turn off. This also comes with a louver insert - you can slide out the glass rectangle and slide in the louver if you like how it looks more, or how it filters out some of the light.

The indoor path from my basement family room, to the bedrooms is obviously dark at night. In order to prevent family members from having to turn on, and potentially leaving lights on all the way through the house I was looking for a night light solution. I bought three different products including the one listed here. I’m posting the same review in each product for simplicity. First, the SnapPower Guidelight - Outlet Coverplate with LED Night Lights, Duplex. This was the product I had the most hope for, and it was the most disappointing for the purpose I needed it for. The unit installs very easily. It’s just a replacement of the outlet plate cover and of the three products, it was the easiest to install. My problems, which may be only pertinent to my needs and use of the light are twofold. First, the amount of light is not really adequate. If it the only light you are relying on to navigate a dark hallway or other space, it’s not bright enough. I would use it in a bedroom though, perhaps for a child that wanted some light. The second problem was the light sensor is not sensitive enough. The light stayed on almost all the time, unless it was very bright (think full sunlight) in the room. This is not a disaster as the LED lights are very energy efficient, but just something that I think could be improved. Second, the Legrand-Pass & Seymour NTL885TRWCC6 Nightlight with Two 15 AMP Outlets with Cover. This unit took more effort to install than the SnapPower as it was an outlet swap-out. It also required a new plate cover, the same kind that covers a GFIC outlet works perfectly, but is something else that must be purchased. The Legrand is brighter than the SnapPower light and was very adequate for lighting the dark hallway. It however suffered the same short coming in that the light sensor was not sensitive enough and the light stays on most all day long. It is not installed in a dark, long hallway either and I know about, and did adjust the sensitivity. It was just not adequate from keeping the light on most of the day. Third, the Eaton TR7735W 3-Wire Receptacle Combo Nightlight with Tamper Resistant 2-Pole. Installation was similar to the Legrand-Pass unit. It did however require that both the neutrals be twisted together and a short pigtail wired be used to connect to the single neutral post on the outlet. Add one wire nut, and one very short piece of 14-gauge wire to installation. This unit also required a new plate cover, the same as used to cover a GFIC outlet. It also replaces one outlet with a nightlight, so there is a trade-off. For my use, this was not an issue as the only thing that ever gets plugged into the hall outlets is a vacuum. As for function, the Eaton outperformed the other two in both brightness (which is adjustable) and light sensitivity. It turns the light on at a ambient light level that is just when you need it to come on. It is off during the day, on when you need it. I’ve be buying more of these units to light the path all the way to the bedrooms in my home. In rating these, I didn’t consider the ease of installation as they were all fairly easy for me, but if you’re not comfortable changing out an electrical outlet either hire a pro, or go with the SnapPower Guidelight. Otherwise, opt for the Eaton, unless giving up an outlet is not an option in which case the Legrad-Pass is the best solution. In any case, any of the three are superior to a nightlight sticking out of the wall and I would recommend any one of them.

Cool little device, easy install, like any other plug. 3 dimming modes, I love them under my kitchen counters and in halls!

I bought this unit for the master bathroom to reclaim an outlet (it had a nightlight plugged into it). The unit was easy to install with the existing wiring. Read the instructions. Only one set of piles control the night light. I played around with adjustable light. The high setting is pretty bright at night. We have it set on the lowest level and it's enough to see what you need in the middle of the night. I have not had the problem mentioned in other reviews on the auto on/off not working. I have noticed that when both outlets have plus in them, it needs to be brighter for the unit to turn off. If we had more visitors I would get one for the guest bathroom.

I really like this outlet. I installed this in a new baby's bedroom where plugs were at a premium (only three receptacles in the room excluding the switched one for a light. The install was as easy as any other outlet, and it was a higher-grade receptacle that supports back wiring (NOT backstabs, but screwed-down wiring through the back, similar to what's common in GFCIs). In a very small electrical box, the size could be a concern - it's larger than a normal receptacle but smaller than a GFCI. The night light isn't as bright as most plug-in ones are, but it's not unreasonable either. It comes with a second baffle so you can direct the light down onto the floor if you prefer. Word of warning: the design depends upon the wall plate to keep the diffuser in place. If you remove the wall plate (to paint the room, for example), there is the potential to lose the diffuser. This is a TR outlet, which is a nice touch given that it's likely to be used in a child's room given the built in nightlight. I will say, I was able to defeat the shutter with a single multimeter probe. I had to REALLY push and really work at it, but it was possible to do, which is a shame. I am not able to do the same on the TR outlets that I own from Leviton. Still, it's probably safe enough to keep a baby from accidentally getting zapped. Overall, really solid product. A couple of minor flaws to be aware of, but in general it does what it says on the package and does it well.

Yes absolutely good, no issues, kinda tight fit inside the electrical box with 3+ wires, but looks nice and functional

These outlets are a night and day difference. I was initially skeptical about these outlets when I was browsing though replacements. I wasn't sure how well they would work or how well they would look once installed. These outlets really delivered on both aspects. They were absolutely easy to install. No different than changing any other common outlet. The quality of the outlet itself is great as well. The look of it once installed and powered on is fantastic. Having the option to change the intensity of light and style of light (pointed down or pointed outwards) is great. We use them at the bottom of stairs and in the bedrooms to be able to walk around safely at night without turning on any house lights. Helps keep everyone well rested and safe. Such a great investment and a super easy upgrade.

Before buying I asked the question "does this have an OFF mode?" as I wanted to use it as a reading light. (We have an outlet by our kid's bed.) It does indeed have an OFF mode... 4 brightness settings and then an OFF. And brightest is quite bright. After a couple weeks use it would not stay on. At first I thought the product somehow had an overheating sensor, or that the sensor had degraded to no longer appreciate a dark room. I asked for a replacement and promptly received one (sending original back). However, the product was NOT defective (replacement behaving the same), it was my setup that was at fault... We have an INFRARED CAMERA in the child's room, so we can monitor him from around the house. The change between a well-working night-light and constantly-turning-off night-light was whether the IR light was directed at the outlet... infrared was making the night-light think the room was too bright, and causing it to turn off. So I'm revising my review from 3-star to 5-star. I adjusted the IR camera and now it functions as a wall-outlet reading light, as it was doing before the camera had moved. However, after a couple weeks of use, it became unreliable and started operating differently. ON no longer stayed on, and OFF was sometimes difficult to cycle to. Of the 4 responses I got to my question "does this have an OFF mode?" 3 said yes and 1 said no. I now see what the 1-no-response was talking about. When not operating correctly it does appear to have no OFF mode (unless you patiently keep trying to cycle it off again and again). Do not know if it overheated, but now it only takes 2 minutes for the light to start cycling on & off and is no longer useful for reading-light purpose. And I suspect would be useless for a find-your-way nightlight too. Have ordered a replacement. Was a great product until behavior changed. I'd guess we left it ON at full brightness one morning, and maybe most people use it in a less-bright setting when they leave it on. Might be why it became "used up" or damaged or whatever.

Works great for my use. Only two things to be aware of. One, it is not a gfci so you can’t install in bathroom. Other is even on the lower setting the light can be annoying if shining into a bedroom.

I like very much the possibility of choosing between four brightness level and even turning it off completely if I need too. This is used in a hallway near a living room where guest can sleep occasionnaly so turning it off or dimming the light a bit is very useful.
