    Would be good if it had a sensor to turn on and off or be able to schedule it to turn on and off.

      At this price and size of the light? lol. Get a smart power plug with USB or an old charger plugged in and you're good to go.

      • Jklaro on 30/01/2023 - 21:09

        But then power consumption goes up. I would like a small packaged usb led light with day night sensor.

          Schedule Alexa alarms/timers and when the alarms/timers go off you switch the lights on or off accordingly.

      You are looking at the wrong product. This is a night light designed for people who wanted a constant night light.

      Ok for a night light instead of smashing your toe on furniture. But thinking about it, I wouldn't fit power points with USB ports that are on 24/7 to use it.

      I have one of these types in a powerbank on the top shelf of my desk shining on my keyboard at night: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002165405141.html

      I couldn't use this type for that purpose though. I'd get a headache. (The Xiaomi type bends so the light still shines down but you're looking at the back of it, so the light isn't in your eyes.)

    • stenchlord on 30/01/2023 - 22:37

      I have a few of these and they're great for camping. Plugging one of these into a powerbank is perfect for use in a tent.
      Got mine of AliExpress ages ago but mine are just a warm white light.

      • mrvaluepack on 30/01/2023 - 22:52

        One in a powerbank enough to light up the tent? How small is your tent? Lol

    10PCS Mini LED USB Plug Light for AU$2.32 seems like a better deal.

    • Clear on 30/01/2023 - 20:44
      +4

      You mean US $3.73 (~A$5.27) for 10. Not a bad deal if you need more white or warm.

      Your AU$2.32 is for 1pc ex GST with AliExpress' inflated exchange rate.

        Fooled by title and didn't look at emitting colour description.

      Classic aliexpress scam. Title says 10pcs, but down where you select the colour, for AU$2.32 you get "Emitting Color: Warm-1PCS"

    • deadpoet on 30/01/2023 - 21:32

      You plug these into powerbanks to act as flashlights.

      The description claims they are also "night lights" but that doesn't make sense since they don't have a motion or light level sensor attached to turn them on and off.

      • Clear on 30/01/2023 - 21:33

        A night light doesn't necessarily have to have a motion sensor.

      • mrvaluepack on 30/01/2023 - 22:53

        To see 10cm in front of you? Lol.

    Serious question. Are these fire safety hazzards? I mean will one of these blow up/burn if you had left them on for a long period of time?

    • deadpoet on 30/01/2023 - 21:34
      +1

      Nah, in the specs it says it uses around 1W of power, so it wouldn't get hot enough to burn or blow up. These are not particularly bright lights.

    • [Deactivated] on 30/01/2023 - 22:08
      +5

      Well anything powered is a "fire hazard" but the LED is more likely to go open circuit and that would be the end of it - into the bin. A greater concern is all the power points and powerboards around the country with live USB ports on 24/7, toasters left plugged in and switched on (apparently a major cause of house fires), food processors, bread machines, and washing machines no-one unplugs though they only use them for 40 minutes once a week, etc.

      Then of course there's people like Brad Hazzard… who isn't much of a bright electrical spark but was definitely a hazard to everyone's health.

      • Chazzozz on 30/01/2023 - 22:42
        +1

        Probably more fires start from clothes dryers with filters that have never been cleaned or old fridge motors that suddenly overheat because nobody’s ever checked the grill on the intake vent. I remember once when I was with QFES we did a house safety inspection and asked the home owner how often she cleaned the dryer’s lint filter - she was surprised to learn that was even a thing. facepalm

        • [Deactivated] on 30/01/2023 - 23:16

          Well yeah you'd think so, but I heard the toaster thing on the radio years some ago. They were interviewing the head of NSW Fire & Rescue I think it was. He said the number one cause of house fires was toasters. He didn't explain why. Maybe it's bits of bread smouldered for a while then caught alight, or maybe because their construction hasn't changed since their invention (high-resistance wire electrical current turns so hot they glow red)… who knows. He just said to unplug them when not in use. i.e. He said don't even leave them plugged in with the switch off. As someone who routinely works on electrical appliances that makes zero sense to me, but he said it.

    • trapper on 31/01/2023 - 14:16

      Not a fire hazard.

    Bought a pack. I wish they weren't so fat so I could plug them into one of my spare 4-port hubs and plug that into a Power Bank, but oh well for $2.98 delivered can't complain.

    Also what the hell is with other buyers leaving pro Ukraine / Putin hate messages as their feedback on this listing? I'm on Aliexpress almost everyday and that's the first time I have seen that lol

      • AdModnar on 31/01/2023 - 01:04

        key logger would certainly be able to fit in that.
        If there was one, the user plugs one of these lights into USB port on computer, it tracks what keys are pressed, and sends select sequences to server somewhere.

            @Clear: Hi Clear
            read up on Stuxnet,
            scale that down a lot (to something much easier to do) because accessing what is typed and then 'typing' some of it again later is much simpler than taking over industrial control systems, but USB device can tell a computer that it is a keyboard and then can do anything that a person could do if they were typing.
            or search for USB key logger, then remember that the chip that has the smarts can be made to fit in the plug part of what looks like a normal USB cable…
            if you are then still laughing, let me send you a cable or two. <grin>

  • OzBoganYeah on 30/01/2023 - 22:36

    Psa: if you get scammed (like i did)and leave a negative 1 star detailed review, seller/aliexpress will most likely delete it. Even if you have screenshots of the seller lying and admitting to stealing part of your order so it's 100% useless.

    • [Deactivated] on 31/01/2023 - 13:32

      Negative feedback never mattered much… they'd just open a new account. But then several years back AE was making a real effort. Then it went backwards again. The last few times I purchased stuff there all I got was scammers, even sellers with huge numbers of positive feedback were trying the "You give me good feedback I Paypal you refund" nonsense. So I started looking for the same item on ebay, often found it, for the same or cheaper price, without all the trouble.

      It's the time wasted on those thieves that annoys me the most. The item doesn't arrive, have to wait weeks to complain, then they apply to extend the dispute, try scamming you into closing the complaint, etc all over a couple of dollars. Meanwhile the reason you needed it passed weeks ago. Scum!

  • superkieu on 31/01/2023 - 17:49
