We lose power often here and I bought all four of these to test out. Here is what I found.

Energizer RCL1nm2, 1 LED

Primarily an emergency flashlight. Nightlight is selectable, the unit can function as an emergency light without the nightlight turned on, good function for basements and other areas where you don't need a nightlight all the time.

Ergonomics comfortable to hold, easy to point. Plug folds into handle, one sliding button (ON emergency light mode or flashlight when not plugged in, OFF, Nightlight mode), and good cogent instructions.

As an emergency light functional emergency flashlight, a five foot diameter circle at 30 feet, not very good as an area light. It won't replace a good Fenix, but it's a lot cheaper. Beam points up or down during emergency.

As a nightlight again the beam points either up or down, light output is lower than when in flashlight mode, but still fairly bright. Not photo controlled, so if it's on it's always on.

Outlet space excellent use of outlet space, plenty of room to plug in other items. Non-polarized plug so can be plugged in pointing either direction.

Battery is Replaceable (Varta CP300H $4-$10)

G.E. 11281

Nightlight, emergency light. Nightlight is on when the unit is in emergency standby mode, so the only way to disable the nightlight is to disable the emergency light function.

Ergonomics comfortable to hold, beam is too unfocused to point. Plug folds into handle. One button to turn the emergency mode on and off or the light on and off when not plugged in. Very poor and confusing instructions.

As an emergency light poor light focus for use as a flashlight, but reasonable area coverage although not very bright. Beam diffuses outward and up or down depending on position.

As a nightlight reasonable area coverage, photo controlled.

Outlet space good use of space with one great exception, the photo eye is in the end of the handle that points to the center of the outlet, if you plug a large item into the other outlet, you run the risk of blocking the photo eye and thereby having the nightlight turned on all the time. Non-polarized plug so can be plugged in pointing either direction.

Batteries are NOT replaceable.

Greenlite LED 3 in 1

Nightlight, emergency light. Nightlight is on when the unit is in emergency standby mode, so the only way to disable the nightlight is to disable the emergency light function.

Ergonomics bulky as a flashlight. Plug folds into handle. One slider switch with On, Off, and nightlight/emergency light mode.

As an emergency light low power flashlight beam; during emergencies, the nightlight comes to full power which is useful as an area or passageway light.

As a nightlight reasonable coverage and area, light level changes by photocell but never really shuts off regardless of light level

Outlet space poor use of space, you may be able to slip a lamp plug by it, but anything larger (such as a three prong extension cord) will not fit or will stress both plugs.

Batteries are NOT replaceable.

Satco 75-046

Nightlight, emergency light. Nightlight on this unit cannot be disabled.

Ergonomics bulky, one slide switch to turn on and off the flashlight, the nightlight has no control other than the photocell.

Emergency light Flashlight pointed out of the front so difficult to aim; however, can be set on table and pointed to allow for task lighting. Poor weak beam.

As a nightlight very good area coverage, photo controlled.

Outlet space, bad, both outlets covered, polarized plug limits orientation.

Batteries are replaceable (Ni-Cad AAA)

For me, I like the fact that the Energizer can still function as an emergency light without having the nightlight turned on. That said; the nightlight for the Energizer is not photo controlled, so when it's on, it's on. It is the best flashlight of the bunch, not a replacement for a regular flashlight, just the best of this bunch. If I had a hallway and wanted it lit for company and in an emergency, and didn't want access to the other plug, I'd probably put the Satco there. The Satco's only saving grace, and the reason I'd pick it over the others with photo controlled nightlights, is because of the replaceable batteries

The title says it all. A rechargeable device ought to last longer than six weeks. Amazon's system says this thing cannot be returned, even tho it doesn't say that about another rechargeable flashlight. The package sends you to jascoproducts.com for a limited lifetime warranty, but this product is not listed. I have put in an inquiry at jasco. It seems I had to give this one star but it deserves none.

I can't use this as a nightlight the way it is. The place where the LED lights are lined up is so bright that I can't stand to look anywhere near it.

I had to put a piece of electrical tape over the side of the LED lights that is facing away from the wall, so I can only see the light given by the flashlight, not the lights themselves. Otherwise, it's like trying to use a lamp without a lampshade.

The light sensor works pretty well. It turned on one time on an overcast day, but otherwise it has only lit up when it's dark.

You can use the other electrical outlet when this is plugged in, but if you do, it covers the light sensor so it thinks it's dark and the light comes on. But of course, it doesn't matter if whatever you are using in the other outlet is only plugged in temporarily.

Goes on when power is off, lights up when its dark and throws good light , stays off when the room is lit. Works as supposed to.
