Bright Dimmable Tap Night Light



I received the Bright Dimmable LED Tap Night Light through a promotion.

Product Info:
  • Dimmable
  • Tap light
  • Bright
  • Powered by 3 AAAs batteries (not included)
  • LED light 
  • Runtime can be between 60 hrs to 1000 hrs depending on battery life. 
  • Size: 3.5" x 1.2"
  • 3M tape on back
My niece and nephew are major chickens when it comes to the dark. When ever they stay the night, someone in the house always has to leave a night light on for them. I figured this bright tap night light might help.

When I put batteries into the tap light, I was blinded. Holy brightness. I didn't expect it to turn on so quickly just from being having put the batteries in, but I must have been touching the light just right that it made it turn on. 

The directions that came with the light was on a sticker attached to the light. They seemed simple enough until I tried to follow them. Turning on the light was easy. It took me several days to figure out how the light could be dimmable. 

To turn on the light, the directions recommend to touch the light on front (the side with the "OxyLED" logo) with two fingers. That works, but using one finger will also turn it on. 

To dim the light, hold a finger on that front part of the light. You can use one finger or two. The light should begin to dim or brighten depending on the level it's set at. The light will remember the last brightness level it was set to before it was turned off. 

To turn off the light is more tricky. The light seems to get stuck between wanting to dim the light or turn off. At times, using two fingers work to turn off the light by tapping it. Sometimes I have to double tap the light with either one or two fingers. Other times, I have to press and hold my fingers to it for a short time and then tap the light. 

The light does work well to brighten up a room. Medium to small sized rooms work best with this night light if you want it to brighten up a large portion of the room. The light works well in bigger rooms if you want to light up a certain section. 


Pros:
- Bright
- Long lasting
- Dimmable
- Lightweight

Cons:
- Poor instructions
- Can be difficult to turn off

3-In-1 Cree LED Flashlight



I received the 3-in-1 Cree LED Flashlight by Accessorise Your Life (AYL) through a promotion. 

Product Info:
  • Magnetic Base
  • Durable
  • Anodized aluminium body 
  • Takes 3 AAA batteries (not included
  • Total of 29 LED lights (18 white, 11 red
  • 3-in-1 option (Cree, White, and Flashing red LED lights)
  • Bulbs can last 100,000 hours

First thing I noticed when I opened up the package was that the flashlight seemed lighter than I had expected it to be, which makes it easier to carry around if necessary. It was apparently light enough for my puppy to try to drag it around.

The image on the box help me realize that the bottom unscrews, and that's where the batteries go. Unfortunately, the 3 AAA batteries to power the flashlight is not included. The batteries were easy to drop in and get out.



I noticed that the base was magnetic when the batteries started sticking to the bottom part (that was screwed off) of the flashlight. The magnetic base was able to hold up the flashlight on my car, on the fridge, or other metal surfaces.







The first click of the power button brings up the cree or normal flashlight type mode. Sadly, when I first put in the batteries, the flashlight must have been turned on already, and I ended up blinding myself. The LED lights are very bright and can shine out for a long distance.






The second click of the power button goes to the white LED lights. This is also very bright. Brighter than the Cree. It's great for area views if you're holding it length wise or you have the magnetic base holding it up.

The third click to the power button goes to the red flashing LED lights. They're bright, but not as blinding as the white LEDs. This is great for emergency uses, like being stuck on the side of the road and working on the vehicle. It helps make you visible.
