We picked up 3 of these since the bulbs tend to go out in our undercabinet lights fairly often. This bulb fit snugly in the fixture and has been going strong for 6+ months. I'm always a little skeptical when buying off-brand products, but the bulb has held up fine so far.

Light output was ok but they burned out in only 8 months. Do not recommend these to anyone. Looking for better.

Good replacement for my current bulb which burnt out. I ordered through a third-party seller and paid the shipping because these are only a few dollars, but with any of the Prime offers the shipping is built into each and every bulb. So buy in bulk from one of the trusted sellers and save your money while still shopping from the comfort of your own home. Also make sure you get the correct color, their is a Warm White and a Cool White, we prefer the Cool White but see what you currently have.

Couldn't find the size I needed for a reasonable price. These work great. I ordered enough to last a long time (I hope), since the price was so low. The color is whiter than what came with the fixtures, but I don't mind it.

The brushed nickel finish looks nicer than a regular hall light, even though it is plastic. What I like best about this night light is that all the little cutouts allow light to shine through and they're on the front and back of the product. This allows the light to be very illuminating without hurting my eyes at night. I will update this when/if the LED light burns out because that's my only concern. The light sensing mechanism is sensitive. When I close my blinds, my room is quite dark and the light comes on (for instance, when I'm not home). That's wasted energy if I forget to unplug it and I don't want this to burn out because it looks so nice. Let me know if you have questions and I'll try to answer.

Pros:

Cute design.

Light sensor works great

Soft, homey lightnot the obnoxious LED or blue bulbs.

Despite being made of plastic, this light visually seems to made of steal and glass!

Just enough light without being obtrusive to sleep, etc.

Affordable price for a good-looking, reliable product

Cons:

Will cover other outlet opening on some double outlets (though, I guess if you want to hide the other one, or have kids, this may actually be a pro)

Made of plastic (but again this may be a plus for some with kids or rowdy animals)

Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF): This is an amazingly powerful flashlight with a well focused central beam, good clean spillover illumination, great value, and a pain in the butt control interface. I was impressed enough to buy 4 lights to keep around my AZ ranch.

Details: I am an Electronics Engineer and a flashlight "nerd" owning generations of lights from many manufacturers including Streamlight, Pelican, Dorsey, Fenix, MagLite, Surefire, etc. Although I lack the test equipment to confirm the MXDL CREE's 300 lumen claim, I've compared it to "brand name" flashlights costing many times more and it clearly holds its own.

The light is marked "Waterproof" and "USA" although I highly doubt this is made in the United States. I've not tested the waterproof claim, but the unit has O-ring seals, well fitting threads, and appears very well made. While it might not survive a SCUBA diving adventure to 50' depths, it should not be bothered by a heavy rain or getting dropped in a puddle. It has a good gripping surface (non-slip), a solid feel (not cheap), and a semi roll-resistant tail cap.

This light is amazing bright, with a well focused central beam transitioning quickly (with minimal ringing or donuts) to a consistent side "spillover" beam having a radius approximately 4.5 times that of the center beam diameter. The spillover beam is very clean with minimal spots, shadows, defects, or reflections. The light's color is very white, especially when compared to older tungsten and LED emitters.

I've not conducted a "run down" test to verify battery life under continuous ON conditions, but I have been using the light a lot around my ranch for over a month with the original 18650 3000 mAH battery charged only once when the light arrived. I've noticed no decrease in light output. Before writing this review, I swapped back and forth between the used and a freshly charged battery without perceptible difference.

This unit's only significant weakness is the 4-mode rear button control. The modes are: OFF HIGH LOW STROBE. You switch between the three powered modes by either partially or fully depressing the tail-cap switch (as in turning the light off). Fully depressing the switch always turns the unit on or off.

The MXDL CREE lacks "memory" to return to the last mode it was in. Thus, if using the light in HIGH mode and you press the control fully to turn it off, the next time you turn it on, it will come up in LOW mode. If you turn off the light while in LOW, the next power on cycle will come up in STROBE mode, etc. I've developed a habit of always quickly partially pressing the button twice before fully clicking it fully to turn off that way it returns to the mode I was last using on the next power up cycle.

Another lesser weakness is the lack of a "momentary on" feature as recommended and taught by many tactical firearm academies. In other words, you cannot partially depress the switch to turn on the light only while pressure is applied and turn it off by releasing said pressure.

Pros:

Small single cell (18650) light the same size as typical 2 cell CR-123 lights.

Extremely bright, very white, well focused center beam with no significant defects, hot spots, or shadows. Tested against $135 240 lumen lights and meets or beats them.

Center beam carries well over 125 yards with enough light to clearly spot coyote-sized targets on a moonless desert night.

A "perfect" amount of spillover illuminates the area surrounding the central beam with enough light to identify a target and allow you to direct the central beam to it. The spillover illumination at 35 yards against white garage doors on a moonless night appeared as bright as the center of a 75 lumen narrow-beam light.

Rotating the light along it long axis shows a few minor shadows in the spillover pattern, but nothing distracting or bad enough to allow a target to go unseen.

Decent wrist strap and case provided.

Battery life is very impressive with good cells.

Incredible value!

Cons:

The rear button control interface is frustrating as described above.

No instructions or warranty paperwork. Remove the tail cap, insert the positive end of the battery toward the LED, replace the tail cap.

Note: Another reviewer states this light unscrews in the middle. That is not correct for the 4 lights I purchased from Amazon.com; they open at the tail cap.

In summary, this is the most flashlight I've ever purchased for the money. While I dislike the idiotic tail-cap control, for $16 plus the cost of good batteries, this light is without equal so far (but I'm always looking).

I was shocked at the brightness from this small flashlight with one super LED. I have many gimmicky flashlights with lots of LEDs and they are candlesticks compared to this light. The focused beam shines far, and the surrounding light is bright enough for wide angle viewing. It's like a floodlight and spotlight combined. I was surprised that the flashlight size was more akin to the small Maglight than the big one, but blows Maglight away. I had expected C cell size and am pleased this was smaller. The belt case is also nice. I don't mind the three click 3 mode switch. You must order special batteries for this flashlight since it does not come with any. I thought it took 2 rechargeable lithium ion batteries, so I ordered 4 batteries with 2 chargers from Amazon. The price for 2 batteries with charger was less than 2 batteries alone. Turns out, the flashlight only takes one battery. That's nice! I was so impressed, I ordered 2 more flashlights. So I have 3. After using these, I cannot stand my underpowered 4-12 LED flashlights. I ordered 2 more (to make it 5), but they were sold out. AMAZON, get some of these back in stock for the same price and I'll order more.

UPDATE: I used a flashlight in strobe mode for Halloween on my front porch. It was very effective. The flashlight was still bright after 2 hours.

AMAZON GOT THEM BACK IN STOCK SO I ORDERED 2 MORE plus more batteries. I NOW HAVE 5 (2 for the cars, 1 for the bedroom, 1 for the kitchen, and 1 for the garage. I've been giving away some of my old multi-LED disappointments. Shall I stop with 5......

This is a well constructed Q5 LED flashlight that's very bright, especially at the center of the beam. I would say that the 300 lumen listing is accurate. It has a wide beam and a tight center bright beam, unlike my Fenix and Surefire that both spread the center beam a little more. The center beam could be used to temporarily blind someone at close range IMO. The center beam on this model goes into the sky like a laser and makes up most of the light emitted from the flashlight. The Q5 LED looks exactly the same as my Fenix and throws a clean pattern except for a little ghosting on the other edge of the light that's visible indoors but not so much outdoors.

I have a Fenix LD20 and this light blows it away in brightness. I actually find the clicky switch on this to work better than my Fenix. I find that one on my LD20 to be too stiff.

This flashlight unscrews in the middle to insert batteries instead of at the end like most flashlights. Of course the batteries go in like all flashlights facing the LED. The machined threads aren't as precise as on my LD20, but that to be expected. I like my LD20 for the size, construction and the fact that it uses AA batteries. I bought a charger though and rechargeable 18650 batteries for this light. It will work with 2 CR123's as well. It also has a rubber O-ring to keep out water and moisture. It does not come with an extra one

or an extra clicky switch cover like the Fenix does.

I bought mine for about $5 less at TMart but mine came without the holster, so I can't comment on the quality

of the holster. A very nice light for the price...the one I got from TMart has a high med low strobe & SOS settings and it comes on in that sequence and is marked as a CREE on one side and UltraFire on the other.

This flashlight body is exactly the same as mine and I've found it with different company names on it on at least 3 different flashlights I've seen. Like....Typical for China where these are made.

I'm not sure if this one has all the same light modes mine does (5), but TMart only listed 3 modes for their model too. A great light for the price.

Honest reviews on 300 lumen 5Watt 18650 3 Mode CREE LED Flashlight with Carry Holster

I use this light for my night time security job. I can easily see small objects such as a cat and identify its colors at 40 yards. As for large objects such as people, I can recognize them at 80 or so yards.

The light has 3 modes full power, 1/3 power & flashing. Full power is great for outside whereas 1/3 power is good for indoors or in a car. For now, I have not used the flashing mode. However, I have read that a brightly flashing light will disorient an attacker more effectively than merely a constant bright light.

I have used the flashlight for approximately 3 hours and the lithium battery still has sufficient power to give me a full power bright light.

I lucked out this is a great light for distances of 2 feet to 150 feet. It is small light and only cost $15. I paid $13 for 2 batteries and a charger. The light only uses 1 battery.

This little thing is worth what you paid for. I ordered the Fenix TA20 at the same time, this is just for the comparison. At least the 300 Lumen brightness is likely to match what the manufacturer claims. It is lighter than the Fenix, maybe not as durable. Maybe I will use the Fenix for the survival situation, but for day-to-day playing, i feel this is the best value. I uploaded the pictures of comparison.

It does take the industrial flat top 18650 battery as well as the normal pop-up positive 18650 battery.

And yes, the UI sucks. You will get used to it.

If it breaks too soon, i will modify this review to 1 star.

Mood Light Garden Deco Balls
Customer Ratings: 4 stars

I got these for a pool, but found they're great to let kids play with outside of a pool. Can also be used around the house or yard for any sort of decorating fun.

They run on two 2032 batteries, included, and they include a little plastic 'key' to help screw/unscrew the battery compartment. The electronics are waterproof, but the batteries aren't, read more on that below.

The compartment is sealed by a thin rubber oring. I've been using these in a saltwater pool, and everyone loves them.

PROS:

* Cheap, but fun!

* Batteries last surprisingly long.. like, 30+ hours. Wow.

* You get a good number for the price

* Kids love them.. us adults do also!

* Can be tossed around and abused, they really take a beating

* Electronics are waterproof. This is rare.

OTHER THOUGHTS:

* From the factory, some of the orings may not be in place properly. Check them before use.

* Some might have a dimple in one or two of them in the box, which might bother folks.

More details below:

OPERATION:

Operation is simple. You press the button, and it lights up a certain color. Press it again, and it shuts off. After you cycle through all available colors, you will hit the 'random cycling' setting which smoothly transitions constantly through all the colors. Pretty cool.

HOW LONG THE BATTERIES LAST:

For the most part, I am shocked at how long the batteries last. I'm still using the batteries which were included. So far, I've been able to get about 30 hours out of all of them with hardly any difference in light output. Past 30 hours, you can see the intensity beginning to fade. They last longer if you're not on the 'constantly changing color' setting, or if you're on a base color (red, green, blue). Not all batteries are alike, so some folks will get less performance, and others may get more. At around 40 hours you're probably going to want to replace the batteries.

With how cheap 2032's are on Amazon, these things can be used A LOT, and not cost you much at ALL.

COLOR CONSISTENCY:

As to be expected, the colors all varied a little bit. In other words, red on one wasn't the exact shade of red on another. This is due to a lot of reasons, it's not necessarily a quality thing, it's just because with how simple these are made, you're going to get variance in the product. Especially for $3/ea ball. I didn't find it bothered me, I actually feel it adds some character to everything if you're wanting all of them to be the same color.

ORING:

Because the oring is so thin, I suggest taking precaution first before using them in water. Unscrew the cap gently, make sure the oring is even all the way around the threads. Take a thin film of silicone grease (vaseline would work in a pinch, but it will deteriorate the oring!), and put it around the whole oring, as well as the threads. Next, screw the cap back in place. This will keep the oring from binding (which would allow leaks), and will help ensure water-tight enclosure. You could use teflon tape, 5-6 wraps all the way around, to truly seal the device, if you are paranoid.

I mention the oring and grease because after a few hours of play, we were tossing them around, and several times they hit the concrete. They continued to work, but the jarring against the concrete caused one of the orings to snap because it wasn't in place properly. This allowed salt water to creep into the battery compartment, and shorted the batteries out. Replacing the batteries worked. I believe I will use teflon tape in the future, because we are pretty harsh on these little things!

The device itself, even the electronics, are waterproof. The batteries are not. If a device of yours goes out suddenly, check for water. If you notice black or weird sludge around the batteries, it's water which has caused them to short and leak. Simply clean it off and replace the batteries.

DIMPLED BALLS:

One of them was dimpled, like a ping pong ball, as one of the other reviewers noted. I couldn't get it undimpled, but it doesn't keep the ball from floating. It floats and looks fine. The dimple could be pulled out by drilling a tiny hole in the ball and pulling the dimple out either with force, or by using air, but you'd have to seal the hole with silicone. Or you could just let it alone, it still works fine.

THE DESIGN:

For any engineers or electronics folks, it's a simple PCB with 3 LEDs. Red, Green, Blue. One of them might be a dual white on some of the PCB's, as some of the balls show a "true" white, and some show a "blended" white. The microprocessor is covered entirely with your typical silicone. The electronics connections are all covered as well. The only thing exposed are the legs of the LEDs, the SMT switch and the batteries themselves. Very simple.

THE BUTTON:

The button is a simple rubber membrane on one side, providing the water proof properties, and on the other it's a simple screw which gets pushed against a surface mount switch. Be advised, if you're going to abuse them like we have (by tossing them around), if the button gets scuffed or cut, water will enter the unit. This might only happen if you're truly, truly, harshly abusive. We're tossing these around and they're hitting concrete, and have not had an issue. So no fear. I just wanted to give a heads-up. Also, don't SMASH the button. A gentle press should do it nicely.

Ordered a case of these to light up various areas of my home. Overall, the quality is decent. It's pretty cheap plastic and the glue that holds the bottom ring on is messy. The light glows bright when it's dark out. The quality of the orbs is strangely inconsistent in the case. Of the 12 I received, 9 were fine. The other 3 had the following issues:

1 orb didn't offer the option to glow white or yellow (all the others did)

1 orb just flat out didn't work (battery probably dead). I noticed the glue was especially messy on this one and I couldn't unscrew the bottom so I'm thinking it may have been returned by another customer.

1 orb was deformed (it was pushed in like a ping pong ball).

I haven't tested in water but I'm pretty skeptical.

Wouldn't say it's the best quality product but for $3-4/orb, I'm ok with it.

I absolutely LOVE these lights! I am an artist, energy healer,& breath work coach.

The design has 12 circular colors in it and when I saw these I knew they would be fabulous!My clients love them and they are getting color therapy at the same time as their other treatments by focusing on the different colors!

They didn't come with anything to hang the string through & 3 of them had batteries that weren't working. When I contacted seller, she was really great answered back promptly with a suggestion to open the battery compartment and string fishing line under the compartment. It worked! When I contacted her to tell her it was successful and to send new batteries, she had already sent me 3 new lights in case it wasn't the batteries & I received the new ones the next day!

A good lamp is a necessity for those who spend a number of hours working at a desk, and if you're like some of us, a number of these ending up being donated to yard sales or thrift shops after a few months or years. Incandescent lamps have their drawbacks, and flickering fluorescent lamps can lead to eyestrain. Halogen lamps are bright, but may be harsh, and they are usually hot to the touch. LED lamps are the newest of the breed, and as they enter the generation of serious desk lamps, these may provide an almost ideal solution for many.

The MIU COLOR Cool White Ultra-thin Eye-Protection Gooseneck LED Desk Lamp falls into this newer generation of well-crafted lighting fixtures that offer more than one sees at first glance. Besides offering excellent light quality, it also offers a detachable, portable head that that can be used as an emergency outdoor light source, making it good for a camping or utility light when needed. Have spent a couple of months living with this light so far, and here my highly-subjective key points found so far with this desk lamp, then followed with some expanded details.

◆ Likes:

+ Excellent light quality; provides comfortable, even illumination at ~5500K

+ 32 LEDs in three rows; output can be varied easily in three intensity setting

+ Attractive desk lamp; highly functional as a portable light source as well

+ 1000mAH Lithium battery; charges to full power in 6 hours or less

+ USB adapter in base; output of 5V 1200mA, useful for charging smartphones, etc.

+ Easy to assemble; takes less than sixty seconds

+ Well-written instruction manual

◆ On the Fence:

± 1000mAH Lithium battery is not user-replaceable

◆ First Look:

This MIU COLOR Portable Desk Lamp comes packaged in an attractive and easy-to-open briefcase-style box, and it's the type that's easy to wrap for gift-giving. Inside you will find the following:

▪ Weighted metal base with a USB port

▪ Light headpiece with 32 LEDs

▪ Lamp gooseneck device

▪ USB charging cable measuring about 59 inches long

▪ Easy to follow user manual

◆ In Use:

After reading the user manual, assembly of this lamp took less than sixty seconds... it's that easy, and good to see that the product designers took the time to make it virtually good-proof. Hooked the USB cable first to a notebook PC for its initial overnight charge, but then switched to a RCA Compact iPad Charger, where it has remained since, as personally its primary purpose is as a desk lamp. The USB port on the base of the unit has been excellent for charging my Android smartphone every night.

The light quality is excellent, and for use as a reading light or when working late hours with a computer, I have experienced no eyestrain whatsoever. There are three light settings on the lamp head, and with a simple touch of a finger, the blue illuminated on/off switch can go from low (100 lux) up to high (500 lux); the high setting is about the equivalent office lighting, and I personally found the low and medium settings best for reading and general computer work.

As a small note, I found the high and medium setting to be invaluable when recently rebuilding a PC that had been fried... it happens. Removing the LED lamp head and using it to get inside of the computer to repair and re-install components made such detail work much easier. It's easy to see that besides for camping and other outdoor uses, the mobility of this removable LED head makes it very useful for portable detail work.

Have been using a Halogen Arm Desk Lamp for a few years now, and besides the irritation of trying to find 50W 12V bi-pin halogen bulbs locally when one goes, that lamp is very hot to the touch. If one has youngsters around, lamps like this can be dangerous. But the MIU COLOR desk lamp is cool to the touch when it has been left on even at its highest settings. It also provides better overall illumination, and is much easier on the eyes in overall use.

This same company also offers another interesting product, the MIU COLOR Portable Mini Bed Light, which also doubles as an LED reading light, a baby night light, an LED dimmable desk light, emergency light and more. The reviews are good on this AAA battery powered product, so if you have the need for an innovative product that can be clipped to a variety of places, this one may be worth considering.

◆ Interesting Uses:

Camera users take note: for photographic purposes, this MIU COLOR desk lamp is excellent for either desktop or field macro use. Color temperature is measured in degrees Kelvin, and generally the ideal is to have a light source that's rated at 5500K, which approximates average noon daylight. This is the color temperature that color film is balanced to, which means that when shooting using daylight film settings, the photograph will record white objects as white and all the colors in an image will appear natural on the film.

Incandescent lamps are not good as their light offers a yellowing cast. Fluorescent desk lamps have a greenish cast, and halogen lamps may be bright, but are hot and can vary in their light output and Kelvin temperature. Tried this lamp using regular non-corrected daylight settings with both a Nikon DSLR and an older 35mm film camera (some of us still have them), and the image results were excellent.

A sample of this lamp was provided by the manufacturer in exchange for a fair and objective review.

◆ Summary:

This MIU COLOR Cool White Ultra-thin Eye-Protection Gooseneck LED Desk Lamp exceeded my expectations as a working light that has been used on a daily basis. It has replaced my halogen desk lamp altogether, as its overall light quality has proven to be an eye saver. It's easy to assemble in under a minute, and the build quality is first rate. This one is highly recommended as a 5-star product to all who are looking for a good desk lamp that offers more than just that. It's an excellent value, bright and functional.

This is a nicely designed LED desk lamp that has several unique features. It comes unassembled but it literally can be assembled in less than a minute. The lamp does not come with a USB wall charging source and the is the only real complaint that I can state., You can charge it with any USB AC wall source and the recommended power is 5 VDC at 1000 mAh. The top of the lamp stands 20 inches tall. The USB cable powers the lamp and also charges it. There is a lithium battery in the lamp head that has a battery capacity of 1000 mAh. The power from the cable also powers a rear USB port on the back of the lamp that will output 500 mAh at 5VDC to allow you to charge an IPod or a smart phone.

There is a touch sensitive switch on the back of the lamp head that can be used to turn the lamp onto high, medium or low light settings. There are 32 Mini LEDs in the lamp head that can output 100 to 500 lumens. The lamp head can be removed from the lamp in a second and it will operate 1 hour on high beam, 2 to 3 hours on the medium beam and 8 hours on the low setting. The battery can be recharged over 500 times.

This is an excellent desk reading lamp that also acts like an emergency light or it can be used to take with you while camping or traveling. The lamp features a highly adjustable goose neck and the head can be tilted also. Please see my video. This is an ideal desk lamp for a child's room as it operates on low voltage and because it uses LEDs it operates at a very cool level of temperature that will not burn your skin or start a fire if knocked over into papers or books. It is very safe when compared to the high heat of a halogen bulb for example that would easily burn your skin quickly.

What's in the box?

* A brief instruction manual

* The weighed lamp base

* The LED lamp head

* The goose neck extension for the lamp

* The USB charging cable that is 59 inches long with a round plug end for the lamp base

The light out of the lamp is clear and cool and easy to read with. You can just grab the lamp head or take the entire lamp with you without the power cable and use it. The lamp head even has a loop on the top of it so you can hang it or put a lanyard on it to carry in case of emergencies. I like this lamp a lot and it is a unique concept in that it is a good desk lamp but also one that is portable and can even work while it is disassembled. I rated it 5 stars.

I was supplied a sample for test and evaluation and I promised to provide a fair and honest review.

Honest reviews on *NEW ARRIVAL PROMOTION* MIU COLOR™ DL-001 Cool White



The MIU lamp is so much more than just a flexible and portable table lamp. I'd say it's actually more like a large rechargeable battery pack (the base) with a light attached to it. This design makes it far more functional than a basic lamp.

The MIU lamp comes in 3 main pieces that you put together, the base, the flexible neck, and the flat LED lamp. The base is wide and flat, so it keeps the lamp stable on a table's surface even when bending the neck piece at different angles. Contained in the base is a rechargeable battery which powers the lamp. There is a USB cable included for recharging the battery. On the back of the base there is a USB port should you want to charge a device using a USB charging cable. This feature is what makes the base remind me of a large portable battery pack. Should you not even need to use the lamp, you can still recharge devices like smartphones using this USB port located on the base of the lamp.

The flexible neck of the lamp provides power from the base, to the detachable LED lamp portion on the top. This piece is screwed into the base, and a large jack like connection is used at the top to attached the LED lamp.

The LED lamp piece is long and flat, and can be detached from the base to provide portable light for a little while. There is a built in plastic loop on the end of the lamp, so you can hang it from something like a hook or strap should you want to. On the lamp there is a single touch-sensitive power button that controls all the light's functions. You simply touch the button rather than press down on it. To power the lamp on or off, you hold your finger on the button for a second or so. To switch between the lamp's 3 brightness settings, you tap the power button and it cycles through each of them.

This LED lamp gives off quite a bit of light, and can be especially handy in a power outage. When the battery has been charged, it doesn't need to be plugged in, and it can provide many hours of bright light. And with the detachable top LED section, you can use it like a portable flashlight should you not want to carry the whole lamp around with you. These unique features are what make the MIU lamp so much more than just another table lamp.

I have been searching for LED eye-protection lamp for a while, as I am a reading lover. And I have to say this desk lamp is the best I've ever used.

Pro:

Take little desk space, super streamlined looking

Three brightness levels, eye protection, no glare, no heat production

USB charging port, convenient to charging my phone while reading

Detachable design, easy to assemble as a torch light

Lamp neck is flexible in 360 degrees

Great package, good enough to be a gift directly and repackage up as a carry case

Con:

It seems the battery cannot be replaced.

It is perfect if the base could be used as power bank.

Since I got this lamp, I used it every night, so far so good! Highly recommend!

OK we are uber sci fi geeks and love this thing. Our first one burned out after about a year of constant use (ours is in the laundry room / 2nd bath combo, with no window) but other than that, kewlest nightlight ever! If you are using it in "normal" circumstances (like a kid's room with a window / room with lights on during much of the day) I imagine this would last you at least 2 years. Works very well!

I purchased one of these nightlights about seven years ago in Key West at the Home Depot store there. It didn't have the light sensor to shut it off during daylight hours and has been turned on since I purchased it. Happy to have found it again.

This is a wonderful nitelite for kids, teens, or adults!! I love the color transitions and that it turns off when the room is lighted. It is not bright, so for a hallway where light is needed it is probably too dim, but for a bedroom it is wonderful!

I will admit, I don't have kids and bought this for myself. The item isn't really a lamp...it's a cute interactive lights and display toy. I certainly can't read a book by it's light, but it is super awesome to watch and interact with. It's won my heart, and a trip back to amazon to buy the alarm clock so I can watch them interact. I think kids from 10 to 100 will adore interacting with the "lamp".

This was a gift for a very picky 12 year old girl. She's not into makeup and typically girly things, but she's not a straight up tom-boy either. The day the Room Tech Lamp arrived to my office I couldn't stop playing with it. It has a trial function while in the box, with lights and sound, and that was addicting enough, and I'm the adult here! Christmas morning when I gave it to her she opened it up and immediately put down the new video game to open the box up and see how it worked! Definitely read through the instructions to make sure you understand all the functions of the lamp. Am really looking forward to her birthday so I can get her the alarm clock and see if the alarm clock and lamp really do interact!

Arrived in a decent amount of time. No damage during shipping, though the product is pretty durable, so I imagine someone would have to sit on the box in order to break it!

It is completely worthless, cheaply made and stupid! It sounded like a cool concept when I stumbled upon it. It's not worth the hassle.

Honest reviews on Room Tech Beingz Lamp - Magenta

This lamp (and the alarm clock I also purchased) are cute and fun to mess around with. The alarm clock will wake my kid up just for the cuteness factor and the lamp works great as a night light she can make brighter if needed. The battery life seems to be good so far but these critters don't have any external buttons or instructions. That brings me to the problem.

Try going to hasbro's website and searching for "beingz". Nothing. Google Room Tech Beingz manual and you get nothing. Same with "instructions". Make sure to keep your booklets because you will NEVER find that information again. It is quite astounding really given that you can find manuals for TVs made in the 20s but it's like this product never really existed???

I can't believe for a product that (quite innovatively) has hidden controls and settings, they aren't making that information available somewhere. As you can read in the product description, tilt the head up, tilt the head back.... There are also side-to-side controls and a way to use the lamp to set the wakeup mode of the clock if I remember right but who would know without the manual. :-(

This is a fun addition to a kids room. We also have the alarm clock and the two do "communicate". The sound that the lamp makes can seem a bit eerie when the room is dark but that adds to the uniqueness.

Color Changing Showerhead Nozzle - Rainbow LED Lights Cycle Every 2 Seconds
Customer Ratings: 4 stars

I got this showerhead as a gift to myself for our new apartment. It is a lot brighter than I expected it to be. I expected it would only be bright enough to change the color of the water, when it is actually bright enough to take a shower in the dark (so long as you don't turn the water off before you get out of the tub, lol).

A few things to mention:

1) it did not look like the one pictured. It actually looked like this one: Temperature controlled Color Changing LED hand showerhead

2) you will need to buy a hose to go with it if you don't already have one

3) other reviewers said that it was loud, although I can't hear it at all. It doesn't make any extra noise that I can tell.

4) it does not light up all of the colors at once like in the picture, that is there to show you a demo of the colors it has. It changes colors smoothly every 2 seconds or so.

5) it will decrease your water pressure slightly, but that may be as much due to the hose as the showerhead itself. However, if you have strong water pressure like I do, it isn't anything to fret about.

All in all, I absolutely adore it. I'm very glad I bought it, and have completely enjoyed it ever since I put it up. The only reason it got 4 stars from me instead of 5 is because of the difference in appearance. It simply does not look like the picture. In function though, I am VERY happy with it.

This is a very interesting piece, and the lights work great, and it came on time, however there is one major flaw that makes me give this item only one star.

The water-powered motor that energizes the lights is loud, insanely loud in fact, and although I love looking at the lights and the effect of showering in the dark is awesome, the sound is just so intense that i cannot stand to take an actual shower.

The stronger the water pressure pumped through it the louder it gets, so it's only tolerable on such a low setting that it cannot do anything in terms of cleaning the body.

I am going to attempt to return this shower head for another in hopes that the one I received was simply defective, but if this is not the case then this product is definitely not worth the purchase.

We attached this chrome shower head to the hose of a hand-held shower, but it looks like it will work fine on a regular shower as well. It came with a clear plastic washer. It changes colors one at a time (unlike in the picture), for some reason lingering much longer on red than any other. The whole cycle of colors takes maybe 20 seconds. The water pressure is much softer than the shower head it replaced, and not adjustable (as the other was). It is wonderful for relaxing but would not be good for rinsing shampoo quickly from your hair.

We used it to motivate our kids to use the shower near their room, rather than the bigger one in the master bedroom. They love the lights and the gentleness, and have no desire (so far) to switch back to our bigger, but boring one.

I received my Firefly LED floor lamp two days ago and assembled it this morning. Assembly was really quick and completely intuitive, with the cord threaded through all of the pieces already, and all I needed to do was screw the various parts together. I plugged it in, flipped the switch, and voila! There was light!

I bought this lamp so that I would have a better reading light than my current floor lamp with a CFL bulb. I expect to tinker with the positioning of the five lights on my Firefly, but I can tell that this lamp will provide the light I want. Also, this is much closer to broad spectrum sunlight in color than either the CFL or, heaven forbid, incandescent light. It's a little jarring at first when you have full spectrum light indoors at night, but that's because we are all so used to yellow light (which is why it's hard to distinguish green from blue under artificial light).

And best of all, LEDs are so much more energy efficient, longer-lasting, and durable than other bulbs. I hope that we begin to see a greater variety of lamp designs optimized for LEDs.

I was hoping for a lamp like Ikea's LED lamps, but this one emits a light that is blue-ish instead. That being said, I like the way the many arms can be directed based on lighting needs.

My five year old floor lamp broke. So I decided to upgrade my floor lamp into a led one. This one seems to fit the bill. Not very expensive, bright enouth to light up a corner at my living room and comes with goose necks for the freedom to adjust the angle of the light. The only draw back is the light is kind of too sharp and focus for my. I only use one arm of the light as a reading light but it is still a little bit too sharp for my eyes. The relfection from the paper of my book is kind of too strong and stinging. I wish the light could be more subtle and soft. Anyway I decide to keep it.
