I have only used these for a few days (will update if something bad happens), but these motion sensitive lights / flashlights are so handy and I love, love them! They are just what I needed. I bought a pack of two and both detect motion and work very well.
- They have a base to hold up the light, but the base does not charge. There is a charging port on the side with a very short charging cable. I was able to uses my Samsung phone charger and it charged the light super fast (not sure if it was the right charging power, but the light worked) and I ended up charging the other light the same way which had been slowly charging with the cable. You will need a cable-electric plug adapter unless you just use the USB connection. There is a little light which shows red but turns green to show when the light is charged.
- The motion detection works perfectly for me. I have one light on steps in the living room so when our motion sensitive kitchen lights turn off, this light will turn on when I stand up from the couch and start walking towards the kitchen steps. I think the motion detecting feature even works about 7 feet away. I have the 2nd light on a table in my study. As I walk past the door, it senses me and turns on and lights some of the hallway and even more importantly lights the room enough that I can see the light switch on my lamp to turn on. I think the plug outlet to my lamp is behind one of my big bookcases, so I have had to walk across the room to manually turn on the light before, but now I can see what I am doing.
- There are 5 light brightness / dimness settings so you can push the button and it cycles through them. To turn the light completely off, you have to use the switch on the side. I wish the button would also cycle through the off setting. The lowest setting is still bright enough to use as a flashlight to see the floor. I used the highest setting to read the wattage of some light bulbs last night. I have a Kindle, so I wouldn't be using the light for reading. The brightness is not as bright as a flashlight but it also lights a bigger area since the top part of the light allows the light to come out.
- The switch on the side: On, Auto, Off. Auto is the turning on when motion is detected. It stays lit about 25 seconds.
- The shape is relatively thin, smooth, and feels nice in your hand, like a TV remote but more rounded and pleasing.
Only slight negatives:
- The top part is all light, so the light radiates 360 degrees. Even on the dimmest setting, I would rather it not light up the room as much when my husband is sleeping, so a cover of half of one side would be nice. Meanwhile, I use my cell phone or Kindle to block the light from the direction I do not want it to go.
- Short charging cable so I can't keep the light plugged in when sitting on a table unless I connect it to my laptop
