The Automatic LED Theatre Night Light (hereinafter just called a "Theatre Night Light" or just a "night light"), is a somewhat largish LED nightlight - it plugs directly into a household outlet. It features two white LEDs, has an automatic "day/night" switch, and has these shutters or louvers that can easily be adjusted without tools to direct (aim) the light wherever you want it.

To get the Theatre Night Light to come on, just "set it and forget it" (to borrow a phrase from an old infomercial). That is, just plug it into a 110 volts to 130 volts AC 60Hz standard (in north America anyway) household receptacle.

The LEDs come on automatically at dusk, and turn off automatically at dawn; courtesy of a light-sensitive CdS (cadmium sulfide) photocell. There is no "on/off" switch to fuss with or forget.

The louvers (vents) on the face of the product can be swivelled on their Y-axis (vertically); this allows the light to be directed (aimed) where you wish.



The Theatre Night Light is designed to be powered from 110 volts to 130 volts AC 60Hz, so I don't have to tell you which part needs to be removed, hucked into an open-pit copper or gadolinium mine, and then run over with a heavy machine so it gets flattened and subsequently ruined, and then rather emphatically tell you not to.

Current consumption cannot readily be measured, but its power consumption is listed as 0.60 watts at 120 volts AC, which equates to a current usage of 5.0mA.

Update 02-02-10: Following the recommendations of an expert, the current usage value should be closer to 13mA to 30mA; rather than 5mA.

Quoted from his email:
"The current consumption was worked out from the wattage and voltage to be 5 mA, but many LED nightlights have low power factor, and the actual current draw may be greater and could be 13 to 30 mA."



This is an LED nightlight, not a flashlight meant to be thrashed, trashed, and abused. So I won't throw it against the wall, stomp on it, try to drown it in the toliet bowl or the cistern, run over it with a 450 pound electric wheelchair, swing it against the concrete floor of a porch, use a medium claw hammer in order to bash it open to check it for candiosity, fire it from the cannoņata, drop it down the top of Mt. Erupto (I guess I've been watching the TV program "Viva Piņata" too much again - candiosity is usually checked with a laser-type device on a platform with a large readout (located at Piņata Central), with a handheld wand that Langston Lickatoad uses, or with a pack-of-cards-sized device that Fergy Fudgehog uses; the cannoņata (also located at Piņata Central) is only used to shoot piņatas to piņata parties away from picturesque Piņata Island, and Mt. Erupto is an active volcano on Piņata Island {In the episode "Les Saves the Day...Again", Paulie Preztail says "Hey, ever wonder why this park's called 'Mount Erupto' anyway?", then Franklin Fizzlybear says "I think its an old native term. Means 'very safe.'"}), send it to the Daystrom Institute for additional analysis, or inflict upon it punishments that flashlights may have inflicted upon them.

TEST NOTES:
Test unit was purchased on the PulseTV website on 01-22-10, and was received on the afternoon of 01-29-10.

Product was made in China.
A product's country of origin really does matter to some people, which is why I published it on this web page.

The unit is UL (Underwriter's Laboratories) listed.
