The motion sensor picks them up as they open their bedroom door and illuminates the landing and almost to the bottom of the stairs.

I liked the product so much that I sought out a replacement battery, of trusted pedigree, the battery details are as follows Branded as Master Instruments Mod TB-144301C065.

When the parts arrived and were fitted it was dis-appointing to find the charger would still not work, but a check of the transistor with the component tester revealed that its pins were BEC instead of ECB like the original! Don't get caught short stumbling over in the dark on your way to the bathroom (we've all been there); this nightlight will power on, illuminating your route without the need to touch a button! The other one is for my elderly mother when getting up through the night as it lights her doorway from her bedroom at floor level for safety which a bedside lamp doesn’t do I previously had one of these and decided to purchase more as I found it extremely helpful at the top of my stairs and the torch is excellent too. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.Great idea and useful features, but for domestic use is probably too bright even on the lowest setting.

I traced the circuit and used a circuit simulator to try different resistor values but the results were inconclusive, partly because I was just guessing the effective inductance of the coil (particularly when the torch is in place). Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable). One is for a friend with grandchildren staying over regularly, extremely useful for through the night. Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH). The inductor has a ferrite ring 'side-on' in the coil former to improve magnetic coupling with a similar 'secondary' coil in the torch.I bought one of these a few years back to use in my garage - immediate light before switching on the mains lights ! I have traced out and attached the charger transmit circuit and included a couple of photos in the hope that someone will either have one of these and can have a look inside or otherwise be able to deduce the value required for the cooked R4.

The torch function is great for those 'routing around in the dark; trying-to-find-your-phone-charger moments' when you don't want to disrupt your household, and, it's great for the little-ones who can grab the torch to do their exploring! This probably way too late but having had one of these passed to me by a neighbour I went through much of which has been written here but believe some of the advice given does have problems. So I then did what I should have done as a matter of course and checked the reservoir electolitic, the biggest cause of countless problems which have caused expensive gear to be dumped in frustration and it was of course open circuit. It has an inductive mains charger cradle which holds the light unit and keeps its lithium battery charged until needed. I needed the value of the burnt resistor which I found on another site but the damned thing still didn't work so I took another link to get here.It might be an idea to put 2 capacitors in parallel to improve reliability as 8uF will not affect operation. Friends in the city happened to have 2 of these , one of which had 'died' just like the one I already had, and they sent me a good clear photo of the internals as well as the dead unit!

Just plug in and go, good bright light when it gets triggered and the low level light which stays on during the hours of darkness is useful. I am reluctant to try various values as the charger circuit is at potentially mains voltage and the value is probably quite critical due to significant load changes when the torch unit is removed and replaced. Bought this product for my elderly parents, they no longer have to try and find the light switch on the landing in the dark.My problem is that the resistor is now black and grey with no colour bands so I have no idea of its value. This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees. The pcb even has a transistor profile on it and they'd fitted opposite to the profile to suit themselves at manufacture.
