Relatively speaking, how much is $$$? Something I like about LED lighting is that it lasts. I’m a big fan of “one and done” so I might be open to a slightly more expensive option.
Forgive my ignorance but is a “hotwire bulb” just an incandescent? I had night lights with screw-in bulbs back in the day. Something like that with a good LED bulb could work. I’m open to recommendations.
Just get a Skilhunt H04RC from Clemence modded with the E21A 2000K. It has the lowest blue light content of any LED Ive tested. Should last many months on a charge 24hrs a day on moonlight.
for reference
that is a 3200k High CRI LED that produces about 6 lumens
I found it too bright for my bathroom light.
I do love the warm mellow color temperature:
I have no experience with plug in nightlights,
in my bathroom there is a Manker E02 w 4000k 219c, set to 0.2 lumens output, but I do not leave it on 24/7
IF I wanted a plugged in, constant on, nightlight, I would choose an incandescent, because I prefer the glowing hot wire spectrum over LEDs
Most of my LED experience is with flashlights. There, I really hate noticeable PWM. I’ve literally tried two kinds of LED light bulb. One had a soul-crushing flicker on par with the worst PWM. The other seemed okay but I moved out a few days after I installed it. Will all LED light bulbs flicker with the alternating current? If so, what’s the fix?
It has a dusk-dawn sensor AND a motion sensor. So the bathroom is dark unless someone walks in. You then have 60 seconds to sit still before it will shut back off. It is flicker-free and 2700K too. Oh, and they cost me $8 each
He’s sitting on the bowl, motionless. Motion-sensing light turns off after a while, and he’s gotta wave around to light it up again. (Sometimes you just got time to kill.)
I worked in a place where my office had one of those. I was shielded from the sensor by the monitor, and yeah, unless I’d remember to “wave” every 5min or so, it’d shut the lights off on me.
2200K. Equivalent to the old 7 watt incandescent night lights in brightness and color temperature. For a nightlight, it’s very bright. No idea which emitter they’re using.
I’m interested in any suggestions for a battery powered night light or <1 lumen as we don’t have power plugs in the right places. I used to use a Nitecore NU30 headlamp which lasted about 3 weeks on <1 lumen (about double the runtime specification), but the battery died after 3 years.
