I actually bought these the last time, intending to keep them as stocking stuffers, and they arrived the day before I had to flee Irma. Charged up before we lost power, they actually lasted a couple of days of pretty constant use. Worth the 5 a piece!
@WTFsunshine Thank you. I live in the part of FL that was going to get wiped out, but thankfully, did not. Thought it was a sign when these things I’d forgotten I ordered arrived at the perfect time.
I paid $2.00 more in August- can I get a $2.00 credit? Or better yet a $2.00 coupon? I like coupons so I can spend it on something else here. I promise I’ll use it. Pretty, Pretty, Pretty Please?
@RedOak Nope I didn’t. Why I am now, and coming back to check the site, I have no idea. I think I keep hoping for something new and different and being within my “buy it” price range. Silly me! It is Meh after all - and for this go around of yet another Mehrathon - it has been disappointing.

Once I followed the handy guide from crow and other users in our forums, these worked great for me.
My wife’s review: They’re bulkier than she expected, and even the dimmest setting for the nightlight is still too bright, but the flashlight and phone-charging aspects seems like it’d be handy in a power outage.
@dave phone charge didn’t work for me when I tried it, but to be fair, the power brick didn’t die until I’d already been using them as lights for 2 days. Might have been too low.
I wonder if anybody would buy it if it was offered at a slightly lower price and in limited quantity.
Sure, a picture of socks belonging to @dave would be borderline worthless priceless, but the deal should be appealing to those who appreciate fine art or want to waste money.
@gumtreertmug judging from my past record, I would bite on that offer. Can’t seem to keep my wallet closed if it is a speaker or a light or some type of Bluetooth device. Hey how about a pair of dave’s socks with leds, and a Bluetooth phone app ?
@kphilippe Other than the “I’m Fine” and suicidal part your image describes me perfectly. Especially with what has been offered since this started - and I’ve already bought these last month.
Okay…just actually bought another set to use for my original intent, as these worked so well for me, and I’m probably not going to get the 2 I lent to my still powerless friends back. They really are worth the 5 a piece.
@warpedrotors We used one in the hotel as a bathroom night light and liked it. However, we stuck it in the stand and hit the mode switch so it was in flashlight mode, rather than front-light-lit mode. 2 in full light mode was enough to light the couch/table area. Try switching the light mode and see if that works better for you.
I purchased these last time they were offered. They all buzz as soon as I plug them in. How do I turn of the buzzing? Very annoying. Are the ones I received defective?
@kepierce2012 Look above to Thumperchick’s link titled “this comment was also helpful”. Or look for the previous sale of these in your orders section (or do a search) and it will take you back to the previous sale and you can read the comments from all the people who purchased them then and what they did. It helped me.
Ok, so I like these for the ones that aren’t defective, but I have one that seems to have some problem with the battery (always blinking red like it’s charging…ALWAYS!), and I have another one where it’s motion sensor seems to only work if you tap on it.

@mbills2223 got mine 20 minutes ago
@Thumperchick uh oh…hope you’re not responsible for my fuko contents…
This comment was also helpful. Thanks @crow
No, just no.
Wow. A product so meh that Amazon pulled it!
@gertiestn that was an individual seller, and they posted that on the same day we sold it for the first time…
/giphy fishy
@Thumperchick Bad fish! Poor little puppy dog!
Meh would you like to buy a vowel. Your description is missing an e. On~One.
@growyoungagain Oops, not any more. Thanks.
For the record all of mine work fine and have been lighting the darkness like they are supposed to. They don’t do the fire alarm thing but who cares.

@laurelnev I’m glad you’re okay.

My Fuko called Uber.

@WTFsunshine But you didn’t “get” to stay up til 2 in the morning that time.

Four lights, you say?

@Jesternaut I love you for that

Christ in heaven, will they please post something I haven’t already purchased?
@Brasssong
If you ask nicely, maybe @Dave will let you buy a picture of his socks for $75.

No. You’re sleeping.

@mediocrebot I just bought these. Clearly I am not fine

Jiminy Fuckin Cricket, why do I still come here?

These work great as nightlights… If the purpose of a nightlight was to make you think it was daytime.

sigh… maybe I should sleep… But I’m getting a good bit of cleaning done…

This is not a defect. It’s an undocumented feature. The buzzing is the device detecting your buyer’s remorse.
