L LOHAS LED Night Lights Plug into Wall 2-Pack, 0.3W Plug in Night Light, Dusk to Dawn, 3000K Soft White, Bright Nightlight Auto-On/Off, for Adults Kids Room Bedroom Bathroom Hallway Kitchen, Non-Dim

A good night light disappears into your routine until you need it—then it quietly does its job. That’s been my experience with the Lohas night light, a compact, 0.3-watt, plug-in LED with a built-in dusk-to-dawn sensor. After a few weeks living with a two-pack around my home—in a hallway and a bathroom—I’ve come away impressed with its output, size, and reliability, with a couple of caveats around brightness control and placement.

Design and build

This is a small, low-profile unit that sits flush enough against the wall to avoid visual clutter. It’s designed for standard US outlets (110–130 V), and importantly, it doesn’t block the neighboring socket. I could still plug in a chunky charger and a vacuum without interference, which isn’t always the case with plug-in lights.

The housing is simple plastic with a diffused front panel. There’s no button, no app, and no motion detection—just a light sensor. That sounds basic, but for a set-and-forget utility device, it’s the right call. The light remains cool to the touch, never heating up the outlet or the faceplate.

Build quality is tidy: the plug feels solid, the diffuser doesn’t rattle, and there’s no audible buzz or flicker. I’d call the aesthetic minimalist and inoffensive; it blends into white or light-colored walls.

Setup and sensor behavior

Setup is nothing more than plugging it in. The dusk-to-dawn sensor takes over from there—on at night, off during the day. In my testing, the sensor behaved predictably. It resisted “false on” moments from distant, dim ambient light, and it switched off promptly under bright room lighting. If you place it near a window, it will track the natural light well. Put it under a bright lamp or in a niche exposed to direct light and it may stay off, as expected.

One detail worth noting: the output subtly scales with ambient light. As the room gets darker, the light grows brighter, though there’s no user control. That small range helps the light feel more natural in the evening while still being strong enough at night.

Light quality and brightness

On paper, this is a 3000K soft white LED that outputs about 40 lumens at 0.3 watts. In practice, the color temperature lands right in that cozy zone: warmer than daylight, cooler than amber. It avoids the stark, blue-toned look some night lights produce. The diffuser spreads light evenly without a harsh hotspot.

Brightness is the most important—and likely the most polarizing—trait. Forty lumens is punchy for a night light. In a hallway, it’s fantastic: one unit comfortably illuminates a 10–15 foot stretch, making it easy to navigate without overhead lights. In a bathroom, it depends on outlet height. At eye level in a small powder room, it can feel intense in a fully dark-adapted state. Move it to a lower outlet (bottom receptacle rather than top) or place it where it’s not directly visible, and it becomes a pleasant, guidance-level glow.

If your goal is an extremely dim, amber “orientation light,” this will feel brighter than that. If you want actual visibility for safe movement at night, this hits the mark.

Everyday use: where it shines

• Hallways and stair landings: The Lohas night light is excellent here. It puts out enough light to see edges and obstacles clearly, which is exactly what you want for late-night trips without reaching for a switch. For long hallways, two spaced out can eliminate dark spots entirely.
• Bathrooms: Great in larger bathrooms or those with lower outlets. In compact spaces, be mindful of eye-level glare. I found using the lower receptacle or angling it toward a wall (if your outlet is sideways) softened the effect nicely.
• Kitchens and entryways: The light turns an otherwise pitch-black space into something navigable. In my kitchen, it was bright enough to avoid turning on overheads for a quick water refill.
• Nurseries and kids’ rooms: The 3000K tone feels gentle and avoids stimulating blue tones. That said, if you’re sensitive to light while sleeping, placing it behind furniture or around a corner is a good trick.

Energy use and operating cost

Energy is where this product truly quietly excels. At 0.3 watts, even if it ran 12 hours a day, you’re looking at roughly 0.108 kWh per month per light. At average residential electricity rates, that’s only a cent or two monthly. The dusk-to-dawn sensor cuts that further. Over a year, the cost is effectively negligible.

There’s also no battery to replace, and the LED runs cool, which typically correlates with longer component life. While there’s no stated lifespan here, low-wattage LEDs commonly run for many thousands of hours. In my testing period, performance was consistent.

What I like

• Real, usable brightness: Forty lumens is unusually generous for a night light and makes it truly functional in larger or darker spaces.
• Comfortable color temperature: The 3000K “soft white” hits a nice balance—neither overly yellow nor sterile.
• Reliable dusk-to-dawn operation: It turns on and off when it should, with a mild response to intermediate light levels.
• Compact footprint: It doesn’t block the other outlet, and its low profile helps it visually disappear.
• Cool, safe operation: No noticeable heat and no noise—exactly what I want in a bedroom or nursery.

Where it could be better

• No manual dimming: There’s no switch to set a lower maximum brightness. If you’re light-sensitive, placement matters.
• Limited feature set by design: No motion sensing, no color options, and no user controls. That simplicity is a plus for many homes, but it won’t suit everyone.
• US-only voltage: It’s not a travel-friendly universal-voltage device. If you move between regions, you’ll need a different model or a converter.

Tips for getting the best result

• Mind the outlet height: In small rooms, use the bottom receptacle to keep the light out of your direct line of sight.
• Bounce the light: If possible, install it where it faces a wall rather than open space; the reflected light is softer.
• Pair strategically: One unit per hallway is usually sufficient; for long, L-shaped spaces, a second unit around the corner removes dark patches.
• Avoid direct lamp spill: Strong task lighting right above the sensor can force it off when you might want it dimly on; move it a foot or two away if that’s an issue.

Who it’s for

The Lohas night light is ideal if you want a dependable, brighter-than-average guide light that you never have to think about. Households with kids, guests, or elderly family members benefit from the added nighttime visibility. It’s also an easy add for hallways, entries, kitchens, and bathrooms where you want to avoid turning on harsh overhead lighting.

If you’re after ultra-dim ambiance lighting, or you need motion activation and adjustable settings, this isn’t the right fit. Likewise, anyone seeking RGB color tuning or app control should look elsewhere.

The bottom line

As a straightforward, efficient, and effective plug-in night light, the Lohas model gets most of the fundamentals right. It’s bright enough to be genuinely useful, the 3000K tone is easy on the eyes, the sensor behaves as expected, and the compact design respects your outlet space. The lack of dimming is the only notable limitation—and it’s solvable with smart placement.

Recommendation: I recommend this night light for anyone who wants a reliable, low-cost, set-and-forget solution for safe nighttime navigation. It’s especially good for hallways and common areas where a little extra brightness is welcome. If you need fine-grained control over brightness or motion activation, consider a different style—but for most homes, this strikes the right balance of simplicity, performance, and value.
