(More customer reviews)I am in the process of fitting the whole house with power failure lights. Previously I have already tested the Energizer Weather Ready Compact Rechargeable LED Light and liked it very much. But it was too bright to be used as nightlight. Then I found this item ("Sylvania Childrens 3-in-1 Powerfailure Emergency Back Up Light, Lady Bug") which fits my requirements perfectly.
This product has a base unit (charging station shaped like a leaf) with an AC cord, and a top unit (the 'Lady Bug' flashlight). It is meant to be placed on a nightstand or a desk, instead of like most other nightlights which are plugged in to the wall directly.
As a nightlight, the base unit glows green softly, and the Lady Bug glows red (both lights go out when the room is bright). The illumination is very soothing when used in kid's bedroom, without being overwhelming. Power consumption is measured to be under 0.5W, which is quite amazing.
In case of power failure (or if the base unit is unplugged), the Lady Bug lights up immediately. You can also remove the Lady Bug any time and use it as a flashlight. The size and shape is just right for a child to hold. There is also a push-button on/off switch at the belly of the Lady Bug.
I do have one tiny complaint about the design. The three LEDs are located in the head of the Lady Bug (naturally), and the two eyes painted on the head block out part of the beam. But I suppose if the kid doesn't mind, then that's fine with me.
[Safety-related comment]
One reviewer complained that this PalPODzzz series nightlight is an "Electric shock hazard". But it is important to note that the unit he purchased was the 'Rocket Ship' model. I examined the 'Lady Bug' base unit carefully and cannot see any way it can be broken - short of somebody stepping on it. As with any AC-powered electrical appliances, if the case is broken and exposing internal circuit boards, for goodness sake DON'T TOUCH IT!
