Fulcrum 20031-101 Motion Sensor LED Porch Light, Silver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just added this to the bottom of our apartment's formerly unsafe and dark stairway. Powered by the 4 size C batteries, my only worry was whether this would sufficiently illuminate the section (the reason I ruled out a solar powered unit; these tend to put out as much light as a birthday candle). Initially tested the unit indoors and I was pleasantly surprised to see the LEDs put out a great deal of light...enough to read by. Installation is a breeze, the motion sensor is sensitive enough to turn on from about 6-8' away, and hopefully the light lives up to the 6-12 month battery replacement claims. Only negative is not specific to this unit, but of LED lighting technology: the lights are so cold blue, it sometimes looks like a new car headlight is shining downward. Wonder why manufacturers do not include a slightly warm-tinted clear film to alter the light's colour a bit. But overall, think this is a perfect renter's choice in adding some safety lighting outdoors.

Designed for indoor or outdoor use, the LIGHT IT! Porch Light from Fulcrum is a motion sensor and LED in one compact unit. Equipped with six LEDs, the Porch Light can detect movement within a 25-foot range and at a 100-degree angle to provide instant security to any area in or around your home. The light also rotates so its cool, bright white light can illuminate all dark areas. To preserve battery power, photocell technology prevents the light from turning on during the daytime. The Porch Light requires no hardwiring and comes with all necessary mounting hardware. It runs on four C batteries (not included).
Automatically Illuminates Dark Areas for SafetyThe Porch Light enhances the security of your property. It can brighten a dim porch, carport, doorway, back staircase, or garage without requiring a flipped switch. The light detects movement within a 25-foot range and automatically switches on and stays illuminated until the sensor has not detected motion for a full 30 seconds.
Bright LED Panel Rotates to Cover 25 FeetThe six-LED panel rotates so light covers its entire range, illuminating dark corners as well as open space. During the daytime, the light's photocell and motion sensor prevent activation to save battery power. In low light and darkness, motion will trigger the light. Weatherproof casing helps protect it against the elements, even during inclement weather.
Fast, Easy Installation Without Cords or WiresThe Sensor Light mounts anywhere quickly and installs in minutes without wires or plugs. Installation is as simple as loading 4 C batteries and attaching the mounting plate with two screws (included). Measuring 5-1/2 inches on all sides and weighing 1 pound, the Porch Light is compact enough to blend in with its surroundings. It requires no hardwiring, and comes with all necessary mounting hardware.
Energy-Efficient LEDs Extend Battery LifeTo save you money and help protect the environment, this light uses energy-efficient LED bulbs. These bulbs extend battery life, and never need replacement. Additionally, they emit little or no heat when compared to incandescent lamps.

Sylvania 72178 Motion Activated Battery Powered Safety Light Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have put these all around inside the house and put some outdoors (sheltered from the snow but still exposed to subzero temperatures). They are awesome! They put out a good deal of light which is nice in the winter in Alaska and save on electricity because they are motion detecting. I was so impressed that I bought all that they had at Ft. Wainwright commissary. They are cheaper on post!

Mr. Beams MB 530 Battery Powered Motion Sensing LED Step Light, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought two of these about 2 months ago, after my visiting aunt fell coming down the stairs at night. She hadn't wanted to turn on the hall light and disturb sleepers. She stepped off into air like Wile E. Coyote from the cliff, not realizing there were two more steps.
This light is great when there is no handy outlet for a nightlight. The bottom is flat enough to stand it on the side of the stair or next to a baseboard. That makes it easy to experiment with a good location without too much commitment. You can mount it with the included tape or screws, but I chose not to bother.
I put one on the floor before the first down-stair and the other one two steps from the bottom. Unless you're running, that gives plenty of time for the sensor to pick up movement and turn the lights on before the crucial first and last footsteps. Even with the turn at the landing and no other light source, the two units light the whole stairway enough to be able to navigate comfortably.
The switches for the settings are inside the cover under the battery bays. It would be nicer if they were on the outside of the unit. To get at the switches, take off the back door by loosening the two plastic screws (lots of turning with a coin.) With the unit turned so the screw-holes are on the left, remove the top-most battery if you already have one installed. You'll see two switches with barely readable embossed labels. The left switch says ON-TIME and the choices are 60 seconds (left position) or 20 seconds (right position). I find 20 seconds to be plenty of time for the light to be on, and it saves some battery. The right switch says GLOW and the choices are On (left position) or Off (right position). On gives you a constant low glow when the room is dark. Off gives you no glow, so the unit is dark until you walk near. Off saves battery power. I have both switches in the right position to save power.
When you remove a battery, the flat metal plate to which the spring is attached may pop out, but it's easy to slide it back into its grooves. A minor annoyance.
This product is made in China.
I'd much prefer a warmer, homier light instead of the harsh blue-white light these units emit.
My wishes for this product are for easier settings, warmer light, and made in USA, but otherwise I strongly recommend it.

Westinghouse 03466 Nanolux 3-Watt G19 LED Bulb, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had great hopes for our first LED bulbs - I bought 2 - specifically targetting them for our most used zone, our breakfast nook.
Unfortunately, these are...dim bulbs. Too dim to replace the CFLs we use now. I did not object to the blue color.
I had a back up plan, and we tried a bulb in our motion-detector front door light (only 1 bulb) but that was also too dim, not enough light for this location either.
The final step in the plan (and last chance) was to put these bulbs in our refrigerator, replacing the 2 incandescents inside (inside!) the cooling compartment. Finally, success! Our fridge takes 2 bulbs, and the 2 I bought provide just enough light and Vastly Less heat inside.
Bottom Line: These are dim, dimmer then you would think. You can find a use for them, but be prepared to keep trying locations until you are satisified.
