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.

It might be, however I'd get it with a black/dark lamp shade to try and make the light as dim as possible. In my opinion still gives off just a *little* too much light to be a nightlight, but not enough to be a practical lamp (other than for bedside lamp for reading)

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.

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.

Mine can last all night long and into dawn if I have them only on motion detector mode. If it is on continuously and is FULLY CHARGED I have had the light stay on for about 6 hours.

I always leave it on charge overnight. Sometimes a little longer, and it seems to be ok. It is a very powerful light, but the instructions say to only turn it on for 30 seconds at a time, I guess it's because the drain is high, and it gets hot. So, for a quick look around, it's great. But not for continuous use.

I think so. The lights are very bright once you have new batteries. They do get dimmer as the batteries wear down, I cannot say how long a set of batteries will last when the light is on for eight or more hours. It's your call, but they are bright enough to light a display.

I dont know about the particular details, but I use it for a few hours so its not worth switching out a bulb for that time.

Hi there,It can be set up to light up all night. And if you can make sure it got at least 4 hours direct sunlight then it should be able to last at least 40 hours.Thanks,EESGI

I would say AT LEAST 8 hours, but probably substantially longer. I accidentally left them on the whole night and in the morning they were still going (this was also after weeks of use-where they were on several hours a night). I'm only saying 8 to be on the safe side, and to ensure that they remain bright enough, etc.

While I like this light very much, it might be too bright for you. I have it in the bathroom and find that no other light is needed at night in that room. I have no experience with dim night lights so cannot help you there.

I don't know! Sometimes I leave mine on all night and other nights turn it on or off during the night. I absolutely love it though. So glad I got it. I ended up getting two. Do you want it on more than 10 hours?

yes on overnight charge by any standard electrical outlet in your house will be fine ,,,yes i think it will hold a charge to power a small light overnight i have run a 100 w bulb for a few hours with mine although i didnt time it and it still had power left over i am thinking like a small bulb like a nightlight it would run it overnight ...i do hope this answers your question to your satisfaction. ?

Yes you could use this for dusk to dawn with a timer. I just get the 5watt LED night light and let it burn 24/7. The LED light burns .05watts per hour. It pretty much costs next to nothing with the LED lights. The LED lights are about 7 dollars for a 2 pack, but last they say 10 years. LEDs don't produce much heat either. I have white and blue LEDs. Very nice night light, just adjust the wattage of the bulb unless you have a dimmer switch already.

If that light was left on for 5 hours per day , every day , it would last 27 years. I think it would be ok to buy a new one then. Now if you only used it 5 days per week it would last even longer of course. That is the benefit if LEDs - they should outlast the fixtures practical use. With that said, Looking at the light I'm not sure how you would change the light strip.

The light stays on but I believe you can dim it! It's not really that bright. It's dimmer than a 7 watt night light!

Correct. This is an emergency power failure light. Its main purpose is to provide you some light for a few hours, so that you can get to safety or find some other light sources. It is not powerful enough to light up a room or to last overnight. For that you'll need an LED lantern that runs on D cells.
