LED Night Lights (no 56K)

PSA: don't buy GLOBE branded LED nightlights:




E222872 AC BH5006 68GL

horrible output and EXTREMELY horrible quality

purchased a handful of them... and more than half didn't WORK.... they also don't last very long either, despite using LEDs which are supposed to last practically "forever"

so if you're looking for energy saving LED nightlights, DO NOT BUY GLOBE



any other suggestions or brands to recommend or avoid?

[CanadaBoy]

[UrbanPoet]

you can get some alright ones from CT. At least there you can return it if anything goes wrong!

Thanks for the heads up. Are you able to return them?

I swear, everything Globe makes is garbage. We bought several Globe light fixtures that were pure garbage. Some were bought at HD and went straight back, one was bought at CT and they refused to take it back, even though it was clearly defective. It was a bathroom fixture with 3 lights on a bar. The weld on the bar was broken and the nipple holding the bar to the base was literally broken in half. CT said deal with Globe, which we did..... for months! In total I must have emailed them 20 times over about 4 months and emailed tons of pictures of the issue. They finally, again after months, decided that it wasn't their problem and CT must have mishandled it. By that point CT was really having nothing to do with a refund or exchange. All in all, we won't touch Globe (or CT) at all....

All my LED plug-in night lights are Globe. DId you buy them from Walmart? If you did you can return them for a refund or exchange.

I didnt encounter any problems with them and in terms of output, you cant expect much if the are 0.3W.

One picture would have sufficed.

I am luckier, I bought more than six of these, some are cylinders, some are cube. They all work great for almost 2 years.

you sure are!! my father purchased a few of these, and none of them are working anymore

back to incandescent night lights... 7W each

I bought two at CT, they both died within days. Returned them, got two more, which also died. CT person said they had a lot of returns for them, 'must have been a bad batch', she said.

I took a credit and bought something else instead. I picked up a outlet cover night light at TRU that has worked fine ever since.
