L LOHAS Plug-In Night Light

What matters most

For kids who want a little light in a bedroom or hallway after dark, this plug-in night light offers more than a single fixed glow. Its dusk-to-dawn sensor switches it on when it gets dark and off at dawn, while the 3D design and color options give it a more decorative feel than a basic white night light.

You can choose soft white, color cycling, or one of eight solid colors: red, turquoise, yellow, blue, green, violet, light pink, and teal. In soft white mode, a button press lowers brightness by 50%. That gives you a straightforward choice between a steady, softer glow and changing colors, though dimming is only specified for soft white.

How to use it

Plug the light into an outlet for nighttime use. A short press cycles through the three lighting modes. To turn it off manually, press and hold the button for two seconds, press again to turn it back on. The light remembers its last color setting when restarted, so you do not have to select that color again each time.

Keep in mind that turning the light off manually also stops the light sensor from working. The sensor can also be affected if two of these night lights are placed together, so avoid positioning them side by side if you want the automatic dusk-to-dawn behavior. The listed controls are simple, but there is no stated timer or separate brightness adjustment for the color modes.

Practical tips

A hallway is a useful place to let the sensor handle the daily switch between evening and morning. In a child’s room, soft white can serve as a gentler nighttime glow, while a solid color or color cycling gives the light a more playful look. It is also described for use in bedrooms, bathrooms, living rooms, and corridors, so think about whether you want practical visibility, a decorative accent, or both.

If you want to keep the light automatic, leave it on rather than using the manual off function. If you would rather choose a setting yourself, use the button to select a mode and remember that the sensor will not operate while the light is turned off. Unlike a basic night light with one fixed output, this one offers color choices, a more demanding setup may call for controls or dimming options that are not listed here.

Before you decide

Does it turn on and off automatically? Yes. Its photocell sensor is designed to turn the light on at dusk and off at dawn, according to the maker.

Can you choose a single color? Yes. Short presses cycle through eight solid colors, soft white, and color cycling.

Does every mode dim? The stated 50% brightness reduction applies to soft white mode only, no dimming function is specified for the colors.

Is it worth it?

It makes sense if you want an easy-to-use plug-in light with automatic dusk-to-dawn operation and a choice of colors for a child’s room or a passageway. The last-setting retention is handy if you prefer a particular color, and soft white gives you a simpler option when changing colors would be distracting. You may want to skip it if you need dimming across all modes, a timer, or an automatic sensor that continues working after manual shutoff. Its appeal is the combination of a decorative look and basic nighttime lighting, not a wide set of advanced controls.
