1. How bright is "low" setting for night light? (6 LEDs seems as if it could disrupt sleep.) 2. How long does it stay lit during power failure?

Low is still pretty bright. I have turned the night light toward the wall at times to make it less bright. I have not experienced a power outage yet, so I can't answer the second part. But, I do love this flashlight!

It is not enough to disrupt sleep. We used these when our power went out last winter during an ice storm. They lasted for almost 3 nights with no charge! Great item!

I have one of these in my kitchen and it works as a great nightlite. I also have one in my bedroom and it is behind a door so the light is not so bright as to keep me awake. I think, for me, if it was not part way hidden it would be bright enough to keep me awake. I have not ever had to use it during a power failure yet. So I can't say how long it would stay lit.

We like them. We have had guests that have unplugged them because they were too bright. I don't know how long they last. Never had to experience lights out that long.

These are pretty bright. I have 3 in my kitchen and they light it up enough that you really don't need the overhead lights if you are in search of a midnight snack. I don't know how long it stays lit in a power failure, as we have not had one yet.

I go to the dollar store and I buy the night light bulbs (I think 4 watt) and they last me a couple months and they are on all the time. Maybe you're using a higher watt bulb. Nothing special about the bulb.

I don't think it sleeps (ie: the display turning off), though I haven't really paid much attention to it since it is used as a kitchen stereo. Pretty sure it does always stay lit up. It isn't very bright, but if you are using it near your bed and are sensitive to any form of light while sleeping it could be an issue.

Use 15 watts or night lights. They will cut down the brightness. You can only use one bulb also to cut down on the brightness. I use 25 watts and it is good foe me. Dimmers are useless as the light does not dim. But if you like a certain bulb and its color and it is dimmable you can still use it. I hope this covers about everythinh

Hmm, I wouldn't suggest using it as a nightlight. As with anything, it'll burn out eventually, and leaving it on all the time will only wear it out. Also, the glass is extremely thin, making the thing fragile. And finally, when it's on, it's generating electrical current. This current also creates noise, which might be disruptive to some people's sleep (especially younger kids). I recommend keeping it off when it's not being used. At the very least, it'll last longer.

My basic answer is how deeply do you sleep? The light is more of a soft "glow" than a "light" (and it's on the highest setting). I put the Wake-Up Light on the floor last night and only the side of the bedroom not blocked by furniture was lighter (makes sense).

There are 2 brightness settings, but they might be described as "bright" and "brighter". It can be a great nightlight but if that is not what you want there could be a problem. My wife found the lower setting still too bright so I put a sheet of window darkening film that I had left over on the face and now she is happy. Hope this helps with your decision. Otherwise I like it very well. In particular I like that the buzzer and radio will come on gradually in alarm mode to avoid shocking awakening.

Hi Deann, honestly mine only lasted 3months. Switch to turn on/off, and day/blue night lite started acting up. The only blue light would turn on, then only the day light, then NO light. Very disappointed, because when we first received it I gave it a positive comment & loved it. I guess, I got that one bad apple of the bunch lol. Good luck and Happy Holidays

The minimum brightness of this item is quite dim, though brighter than a nightlight, but cannot be adjusted downwards. The Lutron MACL-153M-WH allows you to do this, though if you go too far downwards there may be instability issues. I note that my Leviton 6674-POW went bad after two weeks, maybe because we have an extra steamy bathroom. I've replaced it with the aforementioned Lutron, and adjusted the Lutron to achieve a dimmest level that is pretty close to night light level, using two Kobi Electric K8L2 8-watt G25 LED bulbs.

Dont really think it would hold up for nightly use. Very bright light makes me think the bulb wouldn't last. Also uses a lot of power, will pull a fully charged battery down to about 50% in about 4-5 hours use. Good luck

The only light that stays on constantly is a small white circle that indicates power is on. It makes very little noise. I don't think light or noise will bother you. I use it to backup my cable modem, wireless router, and security camera system.

I can turn the top light on like a flashlight, or the front light on, but only while the whole thing is unplugged. Once it is in the outlet, it will only come on during a power outage. So, it is not useable as a night light while it is plugged in. Hope that makes sense.

I'm using this as an emergency light in case of power failure. When plugged in a power socket and charged up it automatically lights up in case of power failure or if you remove in from the power outlet, and you can use it as a portable light. As best as I can tell, it has no "night light" functionality, unless there is a power failure or if you unplug it from a power socket.

Yes. This makes a perfect night light. Flexible neck allows you to position light so that illumination is directed away from you and reduced. Light operates as long as your computer is powered on. You may have to change your settings so the computer does not go into "sleep" mode or "shuts down" after a few minutes. Most computers can be set to stay on for 8 hours before shutdown or to even stay on indefinitely. Low wattage LEDs save on power consumption.

This is ere I am using it. LED light is NOT supposed to attract bugs and has MUCH lower power consumption. Hope this helps!

It depends on what brightness setting you use, there are 20 different settings. It also depends on how dark you keep your bedroom. In my experience, settings anywhere from 15 to 20 will light up the room pretty well. Depending on how light a sleeper he is, or how affected he is by light you can adjust it to only light up to a very dim level...whether that will wake you up or not is a different question. Mine doesn't usually wake up my wife. Also, once the light goes on, you can turn it off and the alarm sound will continue, you can still snooze the sound (the light is not affected by snooze). The alarm sound doesn't go off until you hit the alarm button again (which resets it for the next morning)

Not sure I understand question... it's not a night light. When plugged in there is a red light , not bright enough to consider it a night light. It's meant to go on when power goes out. When it's unplugged, it can be used as a nice little flashlight which I've used many times for short periods. I love these lights.
