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.
I like that LED too.
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

we have used these for over 20 years.
green (lime) and dim.
Unno, never saw it done in cheap LED bulbs. Maybe that Bedtime Bulb in another thread…
Yeh.
And that’s back to the same problem. LED bulbs are like LED Christmas lights, ie, no filtering, just nasty pulsed 120Hz (or worse, 60Hz) lighting.
Fwiw, I got (won) a set of these Amazon.com which I quite like.
But they’re also pulsed AC vs filtered DC.
You could spend more on a stinky little 10µF filtering cap than for a half-dozen LEDs.
I used to have half a dozen of those. Eventually they all got spotty and faded and became useless. I dunno why.
Hang on. I need another remedial moment.
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?
Unless a LED bulb is advertised as being “flicker-free”, assume it’s got a nasty 120Hz flicker of about a 5% or less duty-cycle.
No fix. Might not run on DC, can’t really crack one open to add diodes/caps/etc.
I did an extensive search in 2015 and settled on this gem:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002VF9POY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
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 
5 years old and still loved
Maybe I’ll get the joke when I am older. Right now I look at it and wonder why he’s waiting for something to happen 
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.
But how could a poop possibly take longer than 20 seconds?
Reading, crossword puzzles, etc. By the time you’re finished, it’s time for round 2. 
I guess bathrooms bore the crap out of me in record time
Young people…
I picked up one of these from Walmart awhile back: https://www.amazon.com/GE-38628-Designer-Farmhouse-Entryway/dp/B07C57YLPR
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.
Need to be off-the-rack?
