Looking to buy some warm tinted night lights for hallways to light my path at night. Would like a nice even warm glow for around the floor. Should be light sensing to turn off during the day if possible. Must be safe and NOT cause a fire when I’m at work or sleeping! LOL!
I got a couple from my electric company. I really like them but they are a cool white and don’t spread the light as evenly as possible. I think there is something better out there.
I use this search from time to time, to see what’s new; amend it to your taste: https://www.google.com/search?q=amber“night+light”“daylight+sensor”
click “Image” and look at what turns up.
I’ll probably go to Ikea next time I want some (their local prices are much lower than their mail order for the “Ikea 302.411.40 Patrull Nightlight/Sensor, Orange” )
I have a light-sensing incandescent night light. For some reason the bulb glows dimly, not at full brightness. I opened it up to see what was going on inside and it was surprisingly simple. I don’t exactly remember what was in there but I know there was a transistor, and some resistors and/or diodes… oh and of course the photoresistor thing.
Not sure if that was a transistor though, it could be some other kind of chip, but I think it was a transistor.
