FEIT LED NIGHT LIGHTS

Feit LED Night Lights, retail $3.99 (www.wallgreens.com)

Last updated 10-28-07




This is a nightlight bulb with three wide-angle white LEDs to provide its light.

It screws into a E12 (12 mm) candelabra base - this is the fitting that is used by C7 1/2 incandescent Christmas light bulbs in the United States.

I was not able to find these bulbs on the Wallgreens website, so the URL above simply leads to their front door.

The $3.99 price is for two bulbs, not just one.


SIZE



The bulb is ready to use as soon as you receive it. Screw it into any standard candelabra-base 110 to 130 volts AC receptacle.
Then, to borrow a phrase from a TV commercial, "plug it in, plug it in!"

For the purposes of this web page, I used an Ikea glass night table lamp equipped with a candelabra base.



Since this product is designed to be operated from 110-130VAC, this section can be skipped.



These are LED night light bulbs, not flashlights meant to be thrashed, trashed, used, and abused. So I won't throw them against the wall, stomp on them, try to drown them in the {vulgar term for feces}bowl or the cistern, run over them, swing them against the concrete floor of a patio, use a small claw hammer to bash them open to check them for candiosity, fire them from the cannonada (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, a handheld wand that Langston Licktoad uses, or a pack-of-cards-sized instrument that Fergy Fudgehog uses), send them to the Daystrom Institute for additional analysis, or inflict upon them other punishments that flashlights might have inflicted upon them.

Since this is a light bulb with a set purpose, I don't have a whole lot more to say about it.

The base of this bulb is E12 (12 mm), which is the standard candelabra base that is used by C7 1/2 Christmas blubs in the United States.

***VERY IMPORTANT!!!*** DO NOT under any circumstances use this bulb in a fixture equipped with a dimmer switch, whether the dimmer is in the fixture itself or on the wall controlling that fixture. The bulb will overheat and fail if this is done. You don't want rats or silverfish larvae...I mean...you don't want an unwanted fire.

The caution regarding using a dimmer is pretty much generic for any LED product powered by 110-130 volts AC; not just this bulb. Using this or any other 110-130 volts (or for that matter, 220-240 volts for viewers outside North America) AC LED product can result in overheating, failure, and possible fire because the AC waveform is altered by the circuitry in the dimmer, and AC line-powered LED products not using a step-down transformer tend to not do well with the altered AC waveform.

TEST NOTES:
Test units of this product (they come in packages of two) were sent by a fan of the website on 10-18-07, and were received on the afternoon of 10-20-07.

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.
