L LOHAS LED Night Light,Dimmable Night Lights Plug into Wall, 2 Pack Acrylic Nightlight with 0-100 LM Adjustable Brightness, 3000K Plug in Night Light with Dusk to Dawn Sensor, for Bathroom Hallway

A night light doesn’t usually earn a second glance, but the LOHAS night light caught mine the moment I plugged it in. It looks more like a compact wall sconce than a utility puck, and after a few weeks around my home—bathroom, hallway, and a kitchen outlet under the cabinets—it’s earned a permanent place in my lighting setup.

Design and build

This is a plug-in night light built around a vertical acrylic diffuser with a gold ring accent. The acrylic is shatter-resistant and features internal bubbles that scatter the light in a pleasing way. It throws illumination both up and down the wall, which softens glare and reads more “decor” than “night light.”

It is larger and heavier than typical plug-ins. That’s not a flaw, just something to plan around. On a standard duplex outlet, the body didn’t block the neighboring receptacle in my setup, but it does project outward farther than a flat night light. If your outlet is tucked behind furniture or under a lip (like a shallow overhang under cabinets), make sure there’s enough clearance.

The three-prong plug gives it a sturdier feel once seated. It doesn’t wobble when you brush past it. The trade-off: it expects a grounded outlet. If your space still has two-prong receptacles, you’ll need an adapter or a different light.

Setup and controls

Setup is instant: plug in and it’s ready. The dusk-to-dawn sensor on the left side automatically turns the light on in low ambient light and off in bright conditions. Along the side of the base is a sliding dimmer that runs from off to full bright, so you can set a precise level and forget it. When the sensor wakes the light at night, it comes on at whatever brightness you left it.

Because the dimmer is on the side, access depends on the outlet’s location. In a tight bathroom with a vanity lip, I had to angle a finger in to make adjustments. In open hallways it’s easy to reach and the slider has enough resistance that it doesn’t move accidentally.

Light quality and performance

At 3000K, the light is warm without going orange. On the wall, it creates a soft gradient that’s comfortable at night and easy on your eyes when you’ve just woken up. The diffuser’s bubble texture subtly sparkles at higher brightness levels—not glitzy, but enough to give the light some character.

Brightness is the standout feature. This little unit goes from a whisper of a glow to an impressively bright night light. At the high end it’s strong enough to walk a hallway or navigate a kitchen without switching on overheads. At the low end, a bathroom stays gently lit without waking you fully. The published output tops out around 100 lumens, which feels accurate; it’s not a replacement for a lamp, but it outperforms most plug-in night lights.

Beam control is thoughtful. The upward and downward throw keeps the brightest part of the light off your direct sightline. That helps in bedrooms and hallways where eye-level brightness can feel harsh.

Sensor behavior and placement tips

The light sensor does what it should—on at dusk, off at dawn. Like most photo sensors, it can behave oddly when it’s caught between bright and dark. I noticed occasional flicker when direct sunlight grazed the sensor through blinds or when a reflective surface sent intermittent light its way. Two fixes worked reliably:

• Keep the sensor side unobstructed and not facing a window or mirror.
• Use the dimmer’s off position during the day in sensitive spots.

I had the best results placing the unit on an outlet where the sensor could “see” the room rather than a bright window. Once set, the on/off transitions were smooth and unremarkable.

Everyday use

In the bathroom, I set the slider about one-third up. It was enough to find the sink and keep the room usable at night without the sharp shock of full lighting. In the hallway, I nudged it to about two-thirds to create a safe path to the kitchen. Under the kitchen cabinets (on an outlet at the backsplash), full bright provided a surprisingly useful evening glow for quick tasks.

Heat is negligible; the acrylic stays cool to the touch, and there’s no audible buzz. Cleaning is easy: a microfiber cloth takes off fingerprints. The acrylic is durable, but I’d avoid abrasive cleaners to keep the diffuser clear and scratch-free.

Energy and efficiency

With around 100 lumens at full brightness, you’re looking at roughly a watt of draw at the top of the range, and a fraction of that when dimmed. Combined with the dusk-to-dawn sensor, this is a set-and-forget device that sips power. If you tend to leave night lights on 24/7, you’ll still benefit from the sensor cutting them during daylight hours.

Where it shines

• Design-forward spaces: The sconce-like look and gold ring elevate it from purely functional to decorative. In a hallway, it reads like intentional lighting.
• Family homes: The adjustable range covers bathroom, nursery, and hallway needs. The up/down beam keeps brightness out of your eyes.
• Rentals and guest rooms: It’s plug-and-play, looks like a small wall feature, and adds a bit of polish without installation.

Limitations and quirks

• Size and projection: It sticks out more than minimalist night lights. In very tight spaces or behind doors that swing close to the wall, it may be a poor fit.
• Weight: Heavier than average. The three-prong plug keeps it solid, but I wouldn’t use it on a loose power strip; it belongs on a wall outlet.
• Sensor sensitivity: Like many photo-sensor lights, it can flicker when it receives inconsistent light. Placement matters, and you can always slide it to off if the space gets tricky daylight.
• Grounded outlets: If your home is older with two-prong receptacles, plan on using adapters or choosing a two-prong model.

Comparison to typical plug-ins

Most night lights fall into two camps: tiny pucks that barely light the floor, and brighter rectangles that glare at eye height. This one is different. It’s brighter when you need it, dimmer when you don’t, and its up/down spread makes it less intrusive. The design is a genuine value add—it feels like a small architectural fixture rather than a plastic block in your outlet.

Practical tips

• Start dim: Set the slider low at first, then nudge up until you can navigate comfortably. It’s surprising how little light you need at night.
• Mind the sensor: Keep the left side clear and away from direct windows or reflective surfaces.
• Use the memory: The dimmer retains your setting, so you can fine-tune once and let the sensor handle the rest.
• Check clearances: Measure depth if your outlet sits under a cabinet lip or behind furniture.

Verdict

I’m impressed with the LOHAS night light. It combines real brightness range, a warm and comfortable color temperature, and a more thoughtful beam pattern than most plug-ins. The shatter-resistant acrylic and gold accent make it look intentional in a space, not like an afterthought. The dusk-to-dawn sensor and side dimmer work as advertised, with the usual caveat that placement affects sensor behavior.

I recommend it. If you want a night light that pulls double duty as subtle decor and functional path lighting, this is an easy pick—especially as a two-pack for multiple rooms. The only people I’d steer elsewhere are those with very tight clearance around outlets, homes full of two-prong receptacles, or a preference for ultra-low-profile lights. For everyone else, it’s a well-built, flexible, and stylish solution that elevates a small but surprisingly important corner of your lighting.
