Datexx Sentina Emergency Smart Light

Cheap Datexx Sentina Emergency Smart Light Review

Revised Review (4 stars):
After my first very negative review, I looked over the possible substitutes at Amazon, didn't see one I wanted, and decided to order another of these.

It worked just fine. Nightlight is always on, but at a low level in the daytime. At night it gets brighter, and when the motion sensor detects motion, the nightlight gets brighter and the three-bulb LED "flashlight" portion comes on and illuminates a good part of the nearby floor or wall. Unplugging the unit lets you walk around with the "flashlight."

I then ordered two more units, and all three have been working fine for the last few days.

So be prepared for poor QC on these lights. The good news is that Amazon lets you return a defective one free of charge (via a UPS "will-call" ticket) and promptly credits your account for the return.

If you don't mind hit or miss QC, the unit is a good value.

First (Older) Review (1 star):
I purchased one of these on 1/28/10. Set both the flashlight and nightlight switches to "Auto" and plugged it into the wall. With the switch for the flashlight on "Auto," the flashlight portion stayed on all the time. Unplugging the unit from the wall made no difference. [So it does NOT function as an "emergency light."] Then, as far as the nightlight was concerned, the sensor failed to operate at all, so the nighlight (in "Auto mode") just stayed on 24 hrs. a day.

In short, a total failure. Well, not quite total--it does make a nice "always on" nightlight (if that's what you want), and a good flashlight then you manually place the light switch in the "on" or "Auto" position. :-)

Plus it's much smaller than it appears in the stock photo. (See my user photo above.)

Try something else, folks!
