Whether you want them for going to the bathroom at night or increasing visibility in your hallways, nightlights are a valuable product to have so you aren’t stuck fumbling around in the dark. However, many nightlights come with downsides, from increasing energy bills when they’re always plugged in and turned on, to taking up valuable outlet space. That’s where these SnapPower GuideLights come in to save the day.Available in four colors for three outlet types, these nightlights are actually designed as switchplates with LED lights on the bottom. This design leaves outlets free to plug in other devices, from your phone charger to a lamp.“I’ve got one outlet (2 plugs) in my bathroom. Using a nightlight used one leaving me only one to use,” one reviewer shared. “The cover let me take the nightlight out and got me 2 plugs again. It’s not as cheap as a LED nightlight but is a great nightlight and almost free on my electric bill.”Speaking of your electric bill, the LED lights are energy efficient, with the brand claiming they cost less than 10 cents per year to power (and reviewers have confirmed they saw no changes in their bills). This is partially due to the built-in light sensor, which automatically activates when the area is dark (reviewers mention that the lights come on at dusk and turn off at dawn by themselves, so you don’t have to worry about them using extra energy).Installation can be done in minutes without any tools other than a basic screwdriver. All you have to do is turn off your power at the circuit breaker, unscrew the switchplate on your outlets, and then — once you’ve checked that the screw terminals are clear — use the GuideLight’s prongs to snap it into place. Voila! You’ll just want to make sure you know what type of outlets you have (duplex, GFCI or décor).AmazonThe nightlights are designed with prongs to snap onto your outlets — no tools needed.Reviewers have used these nightlights for outlets on their kitchen counters, in their garages, bathrooms, hallways and more. The sleek appearance gives these a professionally-done look. In fact, shoppers like the nightlights so much, they’re buying them in multiples for all throughout the house.“We bought 2 to try out on our lower wall outlets, to light the path for walking room to room in the dark,” one reviewer wrote. “We were so happy with the light they provided (soft, just enough to light the way, not like an airport runway!) so we bought 7 more.” They added that installation was easy, and they like the auto-on, auto-off functionality.You don’t need a bulky nightlight or professional wiring to get around your house in the dark. Below, check out some more promising reviews for these handy nightlights that are convenient and functional without raising your bills or taking up valuable outlet space.“Does an absolutely terrific job lighting a dark hallway. So much cleaner line than the nightlights I had plugged in previously, just feels like it leaves more space to walk. Love that the light is directed downward. Plenty of light to walk, but doesn’t light upward that would light up the rooms off this hallway such as when I open a door to a dark bedroom. I really like the look, the functionality. Couldn’t be happier with these, what a great product. Easy install.” — GW“This light is perfect for our entry way coming in from the garage. I work night shift and when I get home lights are off but this works great to sit on the bench and take the boots off. I don’t have to use my phone light anymore.” — Twood“It’s great! It may actually be a tiny bit too bright for my preference, but that’s better than too dim! I suspect if my outlet was closer to the floor it’d be perfect. I no longer have to fumble around in the dark or suffer the bright overhead lights for middle of the night personal needs! SUPER EASY to install; took fewer than 2 minutes! Required only a flathead screwdriver and I didn’t have to mess with the breaker box.” — Catherine Normand“Amazing item! It is so brilliant. Identify which type of outlet you have. There is a separate nightlight for each. Unscrew the old plate and place the prongs on each side of the electric outlet. Make sure you have space on both sides before ordering! Then just screw the new plate on. Two minutes? Done. What a perfect nightlight, completely integrated into the wall plate freeing up both outlets and it looks the same as your standard wall plate. Comes on at dusk and off at dawn. This item looks to be built well and is sturdy. The best nightlight ever!” — Low High“I have purchased a few of these faceplates and I do have to say that it works great. It doesn’t quite shine bright like a diamond, but it does indeed provide enough light to see while you’re either being a ninja in the dark, hibernating, or doom scrolling on your phone. I like how it spares up the socket for other items you may wanna plug in and that the fact that these faceplates are flush without any bulky night light hanging off the front. Definitely recommend these fancy stance little jokers for your socket needs.” — AllenClose Trending In ShoppingMore In Shopping
