Makes a great night light...but nothing else

Makes for a nice night light but thats about it. I should have read the reviews prior to purchasing. There is almost no air output. You may feel a slight breeze if you put your face 1 inch from the fan.

Obviously, this was created by the male mind.
The novelty of it lasts for one night. Then, you start to see what its obvious issues are.

What I like about this GlowBowl light is that although it seems super cheap, it DOES have a dependable way to adjust the colors and the brightness. That was fun to play with in the beginning, and it lights up the toilet bowl with vivid colors.
I DO like that the light is motion-sensored so it turns on immediately if you open the door, as long as you face the sensor in the right direction.
I DO like that it's cool to see, and to show others for the first time.

OK. So now that that's done with, the actual problems with it:
- I am a petite woman, but my butt pretty much covers most of the light, leaving the bathroom super dark.
- The light turns off after a very brief amount of time, meaning usually it's off by the time I'm done my business, and it's pitch dark by then.
- The light is very bright in the toilet bowl, which hurts my eyes, even at its dimmest, but makes my small bathroom way too dim to see much.
- This product was made with boys and men in mind, because they can see where they pee as they stand and giggle drunkenly at the cool light.
- It obviously doesn't do a lot for a woman who always have to sit, because the light is just completely covered. Sitting in darkness isn't that fun, especially when the light under you completely turns off partway through anyway.
- Also, my toilet lid is dark colored wood, so obviously no color shines on it like in the pic, not that it matters if I have to use the toilet.

So my conclusions are:
- This product was obviously created by male minds almost completely for its novelty of shining colored light into a bowl of water, and almost accidentally for its ability to light the toilet for a very short period.
- The light is too bright in the water to look at directly if you have sensitive eyes, or if you have been sleeping.
- The light is waay too dim to actually light up even the smallest bathroom to see well.
- I have no idea why the light turns off so quickly, which turns the bathroom pitch black unless you wave your hand across the sensor- while still on the toilet.
- This is no good for a woman, who's sitting down will block the whole light anyway.
- This product would've actually made sense if the light appeared elsewhere, OUTSIDE of the toilet bowl instead of inside.
- Pretty initial appearance and novelty were picked over function.
- Yes, it provides some colored light in the dark for a short time, but it's placed in the worst spot; INSIDE a toilet bowl... Cooler designs and concepts can be thought of using motion sensor that function OUTSIDE the inside of a toilet bowl, so people can see the toilet AND the bathroom around them.

I had to plug in a sound sensor baby night light so that I could actually see the bathroom when I entered, and not worry about when I actually sat down to use the toilet, which, surprise! Every woman has to do, every single time. That must've slipped those drunk frat boys' minds, and I guess no woman ever tested the product before it was put on the market. If they did, the major shortcomings would've been noticed and they would've had to change the product.

Maybe a tiny shared apartment by a bunch of careless frat boys might like this product ok. But anyone else? Sounds doubtful, especially after the first week of use.

Not as smart as people think. Motion detector lights are extremely common and inexpensive. Colored ones are also readily available. Colored lights look pretty when reflected in water. Great.

Inventors need to think a little harder next time... maybe sober up completely before finalizing the details.

I've used lots of nightlights over the years.  Either to avoid having to put on the light at night or to help light up a dark room for kids.  This is a great light.  It's surprisingly bright and just works.  Much better than the other ones I've used and my only issue (though it still gets 5 stars) is that they're sometimes TOO bright.  Easily solved by putting something in front of it (trash can, etc) to block the direct light coming off.  Probably need to get more of these to have all rooms in my house walkable at night without killing night vision.

I ordered three sets because I thought it was a "slick" deal at around $25 each. All three, within a month, had the same issue - the light would come on and would not turn off. I tried many many things, but in the end I had to replace the batteries so many times because it would just waste away during the day.

Other negative notes:
- Very cheaply made, the plastic seems a bit... brittle. One bad step and I imagine pieces cracking off. I would not install this with kids running around the hallway, for instance.
- They have more depth than I would have thought. I had them sitting on the hallway rug, along the baseboards so it was less obvious. If you secure them to the wall higher, it would jut out about an inch - too much in my opinion.
- The flexible corner pieces are also a great idea, but when I put it all together it just made it look so much tackier. Without them, mind you, it still looks quite tacky. Imagine college dorm room - not your nice, typical apartment or home.

Positive notes:
- Very bright light
- Angled lights are awesome
- When it worked, it worked brilliantly (totally get why so many people have given this 5 stars)

I am betting many of these reviewers are giving 5 stars because they have had it a week and loved it as much as I did - when it worked. Just a fair warning - this went from a 5 to a 1 star for me, and it might happen to you.

I love this light so much, but the instructions were very minimal and misleading.  If the manufacturer offered more support for installing this light, I wouldn't be typing what I am typing right now.  It's almost like they send you the light and say, "All right.. Now you're on your own."  And you are stuck trying to figure out what "AC to DC adaptors/transformers/etc" you need to run out and buy in order to power this thing to make it light up.

Even if they put in the instructions where you should go to buy the stuff, that woudl be helpful. But they didn't. We spent a whole day running around looking for the parts we needed to power this thing, and no hardware store (Lowes, Home Depot, Menards, Ace, etc.) had a clue what we were talking about when we showed them this light, along with it's instructions.

We haven't installed the light yet, but we think we found the thing that plugs into an outlet that will power this light. So hopefully it works! And when it does, I still think it will have been worth all this effort, because the bottom line is that this is an awesome invention and it will look very cool when it's lit up.

I am obsessed with night lights and have dozens of different models.  Most of them produce a weak amount of light that isn't all that helpful and I'm constantly switching out the bulbs for brighter ones. This Maxxima model does not use those screw-in bulbs and the lights can't be changed. Instead of just one bulb, there are 5 tiny LED bulbs inside each unit, giving it a wider range instead of a single point of light.

The first thing I noticed and liked about these lights is that the prongs are both the same size meaning there isn't one that is larger that the other which I have seen on some other night light models, meaning you can plug these in any direction that makes sense for your outlet.

The second thing I noticed was that it had a good, secure, snug fit once it was place into the outlet. It wasn't loose fitting at all.

The third and most important positive feature was that this sucker was BRIGHT!  One of these night lights was enough to light up a bedroom or bathroom at night and I mean the entire bedroom -- not just a small corner of the room so you can actually see at night without it being too bright. I highly recommend this and intend to purchase more sets to put all throughout my house.

One important thing I want to stress is that the WARM white lights are brighter and have a wider throw to the cool white lights which has a blueish hue to it and even though it has a higher lumen, is not nearly as bright. I have bought and returned the cool ones and went back with more warm whites.

So let me explain. The LED is not bright enough to project for a room. The primary picture is taken with a closer than normal background so as to illuminate the proper details. Basically, the further away from a wall it is, the less pretty. The "star" mode is what really sets everything off. I will give the company this: the black plastic they use is actually a layered piece that allows certain colored lights through. So while also being able to see the normal stars, you are now able to put on a show, as it were. The problem is that the multi colored lights that are the "star mode" flash too quickly and are not synced together at all. In order to make it relaxing enough, I had to almost break it to install a separate resistor in order to slow things down and do some rewiring to sync everything up, and replace some other components to improve the brightness of the actual central LED. So not at all great. But not all bad. Good for a small room's nightlight, and only by utilizing the main LED.

These LED night lights are the-bomb-dot-com.  I'm very picky about color temperature, and this is a really nice warm light (but not an overly yellow sad imitation of warm incandescent bulbs which I have seen in other LEDs).  In fact, it looks just like an incandescent nightlight bulb to me (unless you look behind the night light cover and notice it's mini bulbs instead of a filament).

I've been trying to make our home greener (and cheaper) but have really struggled (#TheStruggleIsReal) with finding bulbs that come on right away, don't flicker, and whose color doesn't make me crazy.  I realize these tiny dim bulbs are not saving me a ton of electricity, but they give me hope that the tech is going in the right direction and eventually I'll be able to replace all my various current bulbs throughout the house with LEDs.

**NOTE**  These bulbs do not work with dusk-'til-dawn switches, dimmers, or motion sensors.  They're for regular on/off nightlights only.  At 0.5 watts, just leave that sucker running all the time.

The amount of light is great. Perfect for a nightlight (which is why I ordered them). Buuuut, they do not fit snug in the outlets,they just kind of hang there. And the one in my son's room, he pulled it out this morning and one of the prongs came out of the back..definitely not safe. There should be something keeping those prongs connected to the unit, it's almost like they are just set in there.

I have used this plug-in light for many months now. It senses motion effectively, comes on immediately, and reportedly uses little power...all good. Very effective for a bathroom nightlight.
Often, though, when it goes off, it comes right back on, and may do this more than once before it "goes back to sleep." If it just went off EVERY TIME, like it is supposed to, I would award this little power miser 5 stars.

The plug in nightlight has an on/off switch, and gets rather warm when on, making me too nervous to leave on for any extended period of time.  The round touch nightlight is okay, but very dim.  Not a fan...

This is fine as a novelty, but does not cast enough light to be used as a night light. Have had for about 6 weeks and no problems with picture; however it takes a lot of light to make it go off. In the winter months here in Pennsylvania, I have to unplug each morning and replug each night. So, just ok.

I bought this for the dimming feature and there is no noticeable difference when it is used in a dark room from the brightest setting to the dimmest.  It still kind of works if you just want a very dim night light, but it appears to be poorly made.

I'm using this to light up my clothes closet in the bedroom.  The illumination is great, but it can be a bit frustrating to use:

 Its very bright.
 The motion sensitivity works well
 (From what I've read) it should last a long time w/out needing a charge.
 The time it stays on feels very short, and is not configurable.  I have some other motion detector devices that let you adjust the time w/ a screwdriver.
 After it turns off theres a delay where it won't detect motion and turn on again.  When I kneel down and rummage through a bin it tends to turn off and then I need to wait and wave at it to turn it back on.

This bulb is beautiful but it's extremely dim! It makes for a good night light to make it to bed in the dark but it's not bright enough for practical use in the dark to read or anything. It does make a nice orange glow for ambiance though.

This is a nifty little light and relatively inexpensive, making for a perfect entry into smart light territory.  Although plastic, the overall build quality is fantastic. Tight seams, no rattle, and heavy enough to make for a mood setting accent lamp.

That being said, do not expect this to replace your existing bedside lamp. It is simply not bright enough.  At its brightest setting it puts out about the same amount of light as 2 or 3 night lights. You will not be able to get any reading done while using this, even on the pure white setting. A lot of pictures / video reviews I've seen of this lamp make it seem brighter than it actually is, most likely due to large aperture camera lenses.

It does make a perfect mood lamp though, and the Android app has recently been translated from Chinese to English and is available on the Google Play Store.

Thoughts for Xiaomi for a future revision:

* More light output. If something like this could put out as much light as my bedside lamp at this price point, it'd be a 5-star rating.
* Allow multiple Yeelights to be linked together as a group in the app, so they can all be controlled at once.

I can't say that it does anything except as a night light. The on/off is just a brush of your fingers over the round 'button' and to dim, it just takes a bit more pressure. It seems nicely made I just don't know about the properties it is suppose to offer.
