OUTDOOR LIGHT (Door LED Up Down LED): See photo. It has taken the dark spot of my front door (no street light, no outdoor light) and made it welcoming for visitors and, more importantly, I can see the two locks to get my keys in without needing my phone torch! It is held on the wall with the supplied sticker, and I have had no issues (previous purchases from other brands fell off the wall when it got cold!). Worth noting, my door is sheltered by a porch - I imagine you would need to use the supplied screws to hang it if the light was going to be exposed to rain.INDOOR LIGHT (Nightlux Silver Ceiling LED): With three-way split-stairs at the top of the house, I have LOTS of motion-activated lights upstairs.I did this initially to ensure that guests didn't fall down the stairs, but then I discovered I liked not having to turn lights on for middle-of-the-night bathroom trips. So I have ended up with motion lights running all along the hallway at 2m intervals and also sited in both bathrooms, which is brilliant. One can maintain ones half-asleep zombie status, rather than turning on normal lights and suddenly being wide awake or setting off the bathroom fan. It's a genius concept. If you don't have one, I truly recommend you consider trying one. Four sets of neighbours have seen mine, and all have been converted instantly!This Osram Nightux silver ceiling version is really good. Slightly kooky in design ( would probably be more suited to a modern house, than my 1930's one) with a silver base and a golf-ball sized "bulb". i confess, I haven't attached it to a ceiling yet as I was testing out where best to place it. The one thing I did notice was that the packaging says this is cold white (I even dug it back out of the recycling bin to double check) as I thought the light was very warm. In comparison with other variants, it is the warmest white of all my "cold" white lights. And I really like the light it emits.As a ceiling light, rather than a walkway light, the light is quite bright (akin to a plug-in night light) and therefore I have put this in my bathroom as it sufficiently lights the whole room.The light itself is very light in weight, and therefore I don't see any issue with suspending it via the supplied 3M double-sided sticker. However, I would suggest that if you feel you may want to move it around over time, then perhaps the 3M removable Command strips (cut to size) will be a better option for indoors. (I'm not keen on attaching the light with screws, even though these are also provided in the pack). TIP: When positioning it, think about the direction from where people will approach it, and point the motion-sensor accordingly.The light stays on for about a minute - if you need longer, you just need to move slightly and it will come back on. The range in which it picks up movement is good - about 4 metres, so for me the light comes on before I've even reached the bathroom door, which is very handy.Both lights are excellent. Well done Osram!PS. I notice "expert installation" is offered - You don't need it! There is no wiring. They all run on batteries, which are supplied. You either use the sticker (2 minute job), or you need to drill two holes (10 minute job).

The Osram Nightlux Stair Light is pretty good at the task it's designed for, illuminating dark stairwells or passages, but there are some limitations and a slightly ill-judged way of fixing it in place. It's a simple device in silver metal-looking plastic and it seems reasonably tough though I doubt it's very waterproof, the back seems like it would probably allow water to seep in quite easily. You need 3 AAA cells to power it and the first set is already fitted. There's an infrared sensor pointing upwards which sees an approaching person and switches on the light and that works well if you approach the light from higher up the stairs, but less well if you're climbing up the stairs.

This is the sort of emergency torch you need when there are power cuts. Or when you're on holiday and there's no street-lighting on the road back to your villa, Or when you want a light to come on to highlight a trip-hazard when you have friends visiting and you haven't got around to fitting a permanent light yet.It runs on 3 x AAA batteries, which go in a funny little holder thing (see the photo). Two cells go one way round; the last one goes in upside-down (they're connected in series, so make up 4.5 V). They power a bright white LED (or two) hidden behind a diffusing screen on the side of the torch. The placement of the light seems a bit weird at first,

Item arrived after 4 working days, amazon packaging looks a bit flimsy but item was intact. Instructions are all on the manufacturer's packaging and are simple to understand. I placed it somewhere to overlook the stairscase and to light up the steps when we need to use the bathroom during the night. To get the right fixing spot, i had to do many trials and errors using blutack to stick item to the wall and walk up and down the stairs before i was fully pleased with its detection and performance.It works beautifully for couple of days eventhough it is not supposed to light up during day light as advertised.If it keeps uselessly doing so, then the battery life will be considerably reduced.

I spent a long time looking for the perfect nightlight for our bathroom. What I was looking for was a simple, efficient nightlight which had a light sensor to stop it coming on during the day, and had a variable timer, so that it would actually illuminate the bathroom for more than 10 seconds at a time when you need to use the toilet during the night and don't want to turn on the main light.This does everything I need and has been a fantastic purchase. The sensor range if perfect for our needs, it isn't too sensitive so it won't activate if you're passing the bathroom but not entering it, but once in the bathroom it's sensitive enough to pick up the slightest movement.The amount of light it emits when the batteries are fully charged is just right,

I do like this light, but at the same time I can't help feeling the design is a compromise solution.So, why do I use the word 'compromise'? Well, it's neither bright enough to be fully useful in a shed or remote garage, nor dim enough to avoid waking you up during a night time loo visit. At such times, when you have full night vision, a faint glow is all you want. The most suitable placement for this light then, would be either in a cupboard or an unlit corridor or stair - somewhere you need to transit safely but won't be actually needing a particularly bright light to search for anything. The light is rated at IP54, meaning it's protected from splashes of water from all directions and I have therefore placed mine by some unlit garden steps where it works rather well.

This dinky little torch is an ideal addition to any home or indeed purse etc, Standing 5 inches or so tall it's a bit smaller than I figured (not having bothered to read the description properly!!) but it packs a fair punch light wise so long as you use decent batteries (power in gives you power out sort of thing).I personally found getting the battery cap off with arthritic hands somewhat difficult just because there's little purchase on a shiny surface. It takes 3 x AAA batteries which slot in the base once you gain access. Then you have a choice of where to site it for maximal benefit. I'm using it as a night light but it has a swivel holder that can be screwed to a wall etc.

Yes,, my only gripe is i wish the light emitted from the unit was a softer yellow colour instead of that horrid white light so common with these types of motion sensors but never mind... let's move onto the job in hand. The exterior look and feels of quality so not pound shop cheap looking or feel at all (also i wish it came in a range of colours such as black or grey). The manufacturers are very clever because to attach onto your chosen surface, you need to simply stick the round disk at the back onto its own magnetic section and it holds the weight of itself. Now that is genius! You can pivot the light up and down so direct it to where you like. personally,

It comes with batteries installed, 3 AAA size. The first thing I noticed was that it's very bright. It's a warm-ish light and doesn't seem cold to me, even though it's described as cold. This impressed me straight away but it remains to be seen how much time the batteries get. It's kind of tube-shaped and can stand easily upright on a flat surface. The bottom unscrews enabling access to the battery holder which slides out in one piece.There is no way to change the light focus, which is for illuminating an area rather than a beam, but it's bright enough to light a whole room. At first sight it looks metallic, but it's grey plastic. In the hand it has a cheap feel to it sadly, but it's sufficiently well-built.

This is a battery powers (no wiring required) nightlight, which has three light settings (being, on, off and automatic). It's primary purpose is to provide enough light to be able to safely move around at night, without flooding the room with so much light that everyone else wakes up. It comes with a self adhesive pad, so that you have the flexibility to position it exactly where you want it.I suspect its very self explanatory as to what the "off" and "on" settings do and so I'll just mention the "automatic" setting. As the light comes equipped with a motion sensor, the automatic mode enables it to automatically turn on when it senses movement and will turn off again once that movement has stopped.However,

Brilliant light. Motion sensor also has a light sensor hidden inside so it only triggers when it is dark enough. Motion detection range is good and, because the sensor sits at a slight angle, you can increase/decrease the detection a little be changing the orientation of the light. The light is very bright in some respects but by placing it at the correct height or orientation you can prevent it pointing in your face.We have two at the moment and plan on getting more. Acts as a brilliant night light for the bathroom - bright enough to see clearly without hurting tired eyes or waking you up in the night. Currently use the second one near the kettle to brighten up that area without having to switch the main kitchen lights on.

This is an excellent outdoor light. Purchased 6th of December 2016 so had a very good run in. I attached this light directly to the UPVC door frame above our front door using the enclosed sticky pad. Stuck firm and is still stuck firm after near to a year. It looks like it's part of the door frame. Very neat indeed.The batteries haven't been changed since I installed the light unit and the light beam is still nice and bright. The white light beam is just perfect as it only lights up the doorway and the ground in front of it rather than the whole street...unlike some of my neighbours' crazy security lights which go off when a hydrogen molecule is detected.

Osram night light with motion sensor..............This is a palm sized (11cm long by 3.5cm wide roughly) light which can be used as a torch or a wall mounted night light.Light........The light is a small section on top of the unit- roughly 4cm long and across the body of the torch. It emits a white light, which is 0.35w or 10 lumens, so very subdued and quite dim...best for a gentle night light rather than a torch to use to search with.It has a standard on/off function and an “auto” mode. You simply slide a switch on the top of the body of the unit to choose which you want.The torch is separate to the hanging casing and slides in and out for use, or to change the batteries.

An interesting and original design of apparently good build quality but IMHO with a few issues. I dislike that the mounting plate is either stuck or screwed to the wall or door surface. I prefer either magnetic or keyhole slot mounting for easy removal. The "lid" has to be sprung over the catch. I remain to be convinced that in cold conditions the plastic "lid" won't become brittle or be brittalised by sunlight .Another issue or characteristic is that the plane of the light angles inwards. I suspect to shed water or possibly to light inside the open door (except the persons head obstructs that) but the effect is to unnecessarily light the wall or door (or the person's head).

Replaces my one which did same but came on in day as well. So before I had to turn it to face the wall each morning to save batteries.This is very bright, bonus being provided with batteries, unlike many in many ways, this is brilliant.Extra advantage: the beam can be angled up or down to suit your directional requirement. I will definitely buy another. I'm going to use next one as a second motion night light in the same bathroom - For under the vanity mirror cabinet. that way I can get to use toilet in night and get to see where sink is to wash hands afterwards as well. Both with motion and night sensing. These do not come on in daytime, except if very dull day or placed dully.
