Motion Sensing Stick-Anywhere Nightlight

Product Description

Effortlessly achieve convenience and affluence equivalent to built-in guide lighting with Mr. Beams' MB723 set of three motion-sensing LED nightlights. Ideal for stairways, bathrooms, kids' bedrooms, nurseries, and even in a boat or recreational vehicle, the units offer safety and sure footing without the obstacles of hardwiring and electrical demands. The lights' super-bright LED bulbs last up to 50,000 hours--which means years of energy-efficient, cost-effective illumination--and they operate on four AA batteries per light (not included) that last for approximately one year under normal use. Uniquely designed to activate when sensing motion up to 9 feet away, the lights remain on as needed before shutting off automatically after 30 seconds of no motion being detected, making them ideal for navigating the way to the bathroom or kitchen in the middle of the night. Furthermore, they only activate automatically when detecting darkness to conserve battery power during daylight hours. Sleek and stylish with a weatherproof design for indoor and outdoor use, the nightlights come with both tape and screws/mounting anchors for simple, custom-fit installation. Each light measures 1.2 inches long by 3.75 inches wide by 3.25 inches tall and comes in neutral white for easy integration into surrounding decor.

Features

• Extremely bright LED Light with minimum power consumption. This little light is mighty bright. Runs on AA Batteries.
• Motion sensor turns LED light on and off automatically only when motion is detected. Activates only during darkness to conserve energy.
• Weatherproof Design. Can be used as an Indoor Light or an Outdoor Light. UV-Resistant Plastic which prevents yellowing.
• Motion detection at up to 10 feet. Simple wireless installation in minutes. Perfect as an LED night light, stair light, path light, or step light.
• Sticks easily to walls, in bathrooms, and on staircases using included double sided tape. Also includes one wall mount bracket and anchors.

The sales pitch that leads you to believe that these lights are in the least bit bright should be labeled as false advertisement. It is equal to a bic lighter running out of fuel during a tornado. I have purchased several types of LED battery powered lights and these are by far, the most disappointing. I would advise buying just the single if you're still considering these as an option.

For pets & stairs, try tape and markers!
by Emily (5 out of 5 stars)

These are great little lights! However if you're using them for pets on stairs please consider the following (problem + solution for my English Bulldog):

If you set your lights up on stairs and your pet is at the lower level walking UP stairs, these lights will likely create more of a challenge rather than a solution. The brightness & intensity of the LED, combined with the downward direction, will essentially BLIND your pet since their eye-level is 'super-mega-low' to the ground. Whereas humans shouldn't encounter this problem unless you're crawling up the stairs...which I, personally try to avoid.

I've come up with what I feel is an adequate solution which caters to humans, and our lovable creatures. Get some tape and a sharpie or whatever you have on-hand. I played around with different materials and colors until I found a good light filter or translucency I liked best, including: yellow and orange ribbon, clear scotch tape colored with highlighters, sharpies, markers etc...I tried brown box/shipping tape, which was a bit too deep of an amber for my preference, white(out) tape colored with a light-orange sharpie and that was the winner!! Just stick that sucker over the LED and possibly an extra piece of clear tape for security, and TA DAA!! I realize it's difficult to photograph bright LED's but I've tried in the same lighting in hopes to at least provide a comparison of the difference.

Aside from my little LED dimming experiment for our needs, these really are great lights. 5 stars because they don't claim to be, "PET STAIR LIGHTS." The functionality, consistency, and mounting options are great. I haven't actually tried the adhesive strips but I saw a couple review-pics where it looked to have damaged their walls. I'm in a rental so I'll likely use command tape just to play it safe.

Great light with a few minor flaws.
by KJH (5 out of 5 stars)

This arrived in the mail yesterday and I immediately had places for all them. What do I like about these? I love that they are motion activated and don't require me to try and find it #1 and then try to either find the button to turn it on like other lights or try to fidget with it during the middle of the night when you are half asleep to plug it in. Unlike most night lights they don't have to be on all the time and they don't require a plug. I have very limited outlets in my house so the ones I do have are highly sought after and pretty well taken up by one thing or another. I always have to get up at least once a night whether that is to go to the bathroom let the dog out, figure out what that noise was, the list goes on. Having some sort of light that will turn on when all I do is walk past it is awesome. I no longer have to fight to plug in the night light (if I can find it because I had to plug the vacuum into the outlet the night light was plugged into). It was a nightmare before. I now have the 1 outlet I have in my bathroom free from having to have the night light plugged in, SO WONDERFUL!

THE CONS TO THIS LIGHT ARE:
1. The sticky pads they come with tore the paint off my wall when I tried to adjust the light. So I worry about when I want to take them off what will the others do to the paint? I think that command strips would be better to hang them up. Command strips come off the wall a lot better than the sticky pads they came with, though I wonder if the command strips are strong enough to hold these up. I would like to try it but I don't want to rip anymore paint off my walls. I would recommend trying the command strips first before using the sticky pads they came with to put these up. I wish they had something that would peel off the wall a little easier.
2. Last night when I woke up I noticed that the light I set up in the bathroom was on. I don't know why because my husband was asleep in bed with me, the dog was snoring on the floor at the foot of the bed, and there was no one else up or moving around. So either A. we have ghosts or the elf that lives around the house (Ya know the one that steals all your stuff, or the one that broke your favorite lamp because no one else did it) is setting these off OR the more likely reason is that they do go off with having no motion which means a shorter battery life. The lights require 4 AA batteries which is quite a bit if you have more than 1 of these lights that you are trying to put up.
3. They are pretty big, though with that they do put out a lot of light. I was impressed when I took a shower this morning and didn't feel like I needed to turn the light on to shower. I did have to keep opening the shower door though to keep the light on after it would turn off with no motion. I still wish that they were just a bit smaller than they are. It would make putting them in tight places a bit easier. That isn't a huge a concern though.

This has nothing to do with why I don't like them, just a note for those about to buy them. I did have a hard time trying to figure out where on earth to put the battery. The instructions kept saying to unscrew the 2 screws when all I was seeing was 1 screw. I had unscrewed that screw and kept trying to take the back off but it wouldn't come off. Once I realized there is a plate that you have to SLIDE off, I found that second screw and it was easy from there. I am sure I can't be the only one who had that problem or will have that problem so watch out for that. Once you got it from there it was easy as a calk walk to install and put up.

OVERALL these are great lights with a few minor flaws. Nothing I felt like worth docking it 1 star. I am still happy to have them and glad I purchased them. I don't regret that at all. The motion sensor is so nice to have and that does seem to work well when you walk past it. I haven't had any problems yet with that not working or the light not turning on when I want it to.

Two Stars More!!
by LK (4 out of 5 stars)
August 29, 2016

I want all to know (especially seller) that I spent a while trying to contact the seller first to address my issue and give them a chance to respond. Since I was not successful, I had to come here. I spent about $30 on a package of 3 of these on March 31, 2016. Upon arrival, one of the three did not function properly. It would flash on and off continuously, so I know it wasn't my batteries. I thought, well...two out of three ain't bad. It's probably made on an assembly line, etc. So, I moved on. The other two have been up under a covered parking area and functioned very nicely indeed. Then, last night I let the dogs out (yes, it was me...I let the dogs out), and noticed one of them wasn't coming on when they passed by. So, I changed out the batteries. It did nothing. I checked to make sure the batteries I was installing were fresh by placing them in the other still-functioning unit. All good! So, after $30 spent, their being mounted in a quite-protected environment for 5 months, two-thirds of my purchase are duds. I liked them. I really did. The light was great, and exactly what I was wanting. If anyone knows how to contact the seller after 5 months, I would appreciate knowing! If the seller happens to notice this post, please contact me! Thanks.

UPDATE!!! I've upped rating from two to four because the manufacturer left their contact information, and after speaking to one of their reps, they graciously offered to send me two replacement units. They arrived today (9/12/16), and both are working perfectly! Yay! I really like them and am thrilled to have three operable units! I've worked on production lines and know that there are sometimes glitches, and that QC can't possibly catch every single 'lemon.' I very much appreciated the Mr. Beams customer service, and I would have no qualms about ordering from their company in the future.

UPDATE!! I have gone from two to four stars because

These are so amazing and versatile ..

These are so amazing and versatile .. AND I haven't really used them for what they're designed for yet :)

Ok, I tried these in closets, well, it's like using a little flashlight. BUT, in the bathroom when you stumble in there in the middle of the night, what a wonderful thing to have an auto-light guide your way :)

And better, the fridge! I'm cheap I guess and instead of buying a $2K fridge, I had an apartment sized one, and just bought another .. and another. They don't have lights inside, but this makes them BEAUTIFUL when you open them in the dark! (See pic!)

And, I have one in the chest freezer too! The batteries, you might ask .. well, I think alkaline would freeze, and lithium ion are so expensive so for a year or so I said skip it. Then I saw specs on rechargeables I was buying, and I think it was like near 30 below! Yep, I've been using NiMH for a year now and they work great!

Somehow damages rechargeable batteries!
by Michael G. Jennings (1 out of 5 stars)
September 22, 2017

I kind of liked these, though my wife didn't think the throw and spread were as good as the ones that they replaced. But I've had them for over a year now, and the strangest thing has been happening. I use very nice Eneloop batteries in them, and almost every time I pull them out to recharge them, at least one of the batteries will refuse to take a charge ever again. I mark batteries with the month and year I bought them so I know it's not because they're old. I have a fancy battery analyzer and it just reads "null" for the problem battery. I've never had any other gadget that does this, and I didn't even know this was possible... but it's super consistent with these lights. So now I am replacing the lights.

Love being able to see in the dark!
by Rick Wilson (5 out of 5 stars)

These are terrific little units! I bought a 6-pack, and I used 3 as path lights leading up to our front door, 2 in an aquarium base, and 1 to spare.

The ones outside are perfect -- easy to screw the mounting plate into the siding, and will be easy to replace batteries as needed. They cast more than enough light to illuminate the path. I live in a townhouse, and the path to our front door goes through a passageway which is open to the sky, so nice in the day time, but very dark at night. These turn on one-by-one as you go from the street to the front door, or vice versa. My wife loved these the first time she saw them in action. We are tossing the cheap solar stake style lights we've been trying to get by with.

The ones under the fish tank are there so I can see the equipment when I have the doors opened up -- otherwise it's so enclosed it's almost pitch black in the evening. Here the way they are mounted for light I need to wave my hand to get them to turn on, but that's fine for the function. The light then is very nice and goes off quickly, so not much battery draw.

I think they are a little fussy to remove the mounting plate and open the battery cover, but I think overall that's a good thing. I would rather spend a few minutes getting them opened up, knowing that they are very secure when closed and mounted. The ones I have outside are exposed to the elements, and while I haven't tested them yet, I expect they will hold up fine in the rain we get here during the winters.

Love these light and thinking of buying more
by Rob (5 out of 5 stars)
November 22, 2014

The photos are from my cell phone, so the light is a little brighter than shown in my photos of the stares with only one light on.

Use these on the stairs for our condo. Our stairs has 2 flights, which we place one light on the top of each flight (lower rail). We placed the 3rd light on the wall so this light comes on before you get to the top of the stairs.

They use a single LED light that is plenty bright enough that we can see the stairs with just these motion light, especially in the middle of the night.

The batteries last about 6 month with us using these as our primary lights going up the stairs until we get to our bedroom

NOTE: These light will turn on in 2 situations where there is no one there..
** During the winter and summer they will sometimes come on when the heater or AC first kicks in during the middle of the night.

The difference in room temperature and the temperature from the first blast of heat or cold air is sometimes enough to trigger the sensor.

This scared the cr@p out of my wife (and me as she woke me in a panic) the first time this happened thinking there was someone down stars, since we can see stairs from our bedroom door as the lights turn on and off..
** When the batteries are low the light will turn on as normal then turn off and turn back on a second later, repeating until you replace the battery. My wife once again woke me in a panic because the heat or air was not on.

I hope my review help.

They work great. So I bought another three
by Robnee (1 out of 5 stars)

Last year I bought three of the Mr Beams motion sensor lights as pictured on Amazon. They work great. So I bought another three. Well first of all, they do not look at all the same. They are much smaller. They were in a small white box with a bar code and the MB723 model number. (The originals were in a Mr Beam box.) There was nothing to identify these as MB723. The original ones I purchased had bar codes and model numbers on each of them. And 2 out of the tree did not work at all. I promptly returned them for a refund.

Good Range, Good Sensitivity, Right Price, Bright LED.
by Yoda 7th (5 out of 5 stars)

I've a soft spot for lights... torchlights, motion lights, spotlights, nightlights, etc. I've at least 2 dozen night lights; motion-activated, darkness-activated, battery-operated and electric. So my review is with reference to my collection and usage experience.

Good - This Mr Beams MB 723 is by far the best for lighting up pathways. Design is simple and robust, easily removed for portability, no reflective cover, no direct eye-contact with LED, wide-angle detection range(about 160 degrees), and has an active sensor (meaning it won't leave you in darkness until you're out of range and will only shut off 30 seconds thereafter). Although rated for 1.5V, Eneloop rechargeable batteries (1.2V) works just fine.

Caution - other reviewers had bad experience with the included double-sided adhesive; it is definitely of cheap quality and will almost certainly damage your wall when removed. This nightlight requiring 4xAA batteries needs stronger adhesive. I guessed that is why mounting screws are included. If you hate making holes in wall like myself, strongly suggest using 3M damage-free adhesive which I've been happily using and removing without pain.

Note: This is not meant for above eye-level placement because its LED will blind you!

Conclusion - For its purpose, this nightlight is a great design. Not meant to compare with overhead or directional models. Hence, I've rated this 5 stars. I'm usually skeptical about purchasing lights online especially when lumens ratings are not given. I took the risk even though some reviewers complained about it being not bright enough. Comparing this with my dozens of nightlight, it is brighter than all of them (both battery and electrical operated). All 3 works out-of-the-box as advertised and having read pro-active comments from the manufacturer for those 1-star reviews, I was not worried about DOA anyway. Glad I bought this and hope this review helps!

Update as of Oct 20, 2015 - It's coming 4 years and mine are still working great. No degradation on sensitivity of motion sensor or light brightness.
